Pretty good price presume they are brand new.
A drive board alone for my Victor is about £85 and
the brushes about £95.

John

just seems a bit to cheap to me.
I am in the class of ( i bought a duo) but i am just not happy with the results. Its time to move on from that entry/startup faze. I know i can better results. Its just what to buy rotary wise.

I'm wary of rotaries in domestics unless they're empty.
A seconds lack of attention and bang you've gouged
there antique sideboard. Having said that antique
sideboards and this area do not go hand in hand much.

A real bargain - it must have £150 worth of brushes and pads included in that price.

John, you just need to practice - I can use my rotary with one hand while I'm talking on the phone with the other.

Who says I'm using my hands  :o

Shaun

PS I'd say it's a great buy until it goes wrong usually electrical, I'm fed up with buying substandard products I've got a garage full which I break for spares if I make one machine out of all the rubbish I have bought it will be a bloody expensive one which I should have bought in the first place!

I bought one a while back just make sure you tighten all the bolts etc other than that they are quite good for the money even if it lasts a year well worth the money.Paid for itself the first time I used it Neil is a cracking lad to deal with too

Another option for a cheap rotary is the reconditioned market:

As a pro padder, what rotaries do you like the most/use?

I like Taski's but also have Numatics which are cheap and do the job.

I have a taski, and also one called a "clean trak" from Germany not as cheap but very very robust and works well. Nothing at all wrong with the cheap numatics either.

Cheers Hector, not heard of a clean track.
