CEL Power8 Workshop Plus WS2 Reviews
| 42 of 45 people found the following review helpful  One major design flaw, By This review is from: CEL Power8 Workshop Plus WS2 (DIY & Tools) As other owners have highlighted in their reviews, this is a good piece of kit but in my opinion it has one major design flaw that is very disappointing. Before you buy this you need to be aware that the table functions (table saw, drill press and scroll saw) cannot be operated from the mains. Mains power is ONLY used to charge the battery-handles provided and these once docked, are used to power the table functions.Admittedly you can charge one handle whilst using the other but this did not make up for the fact that the table saw drained the batteries very quickly indeed. I cut three, 3-metre floorboards (19mm thick) along their length. Halfway through the fourth cut, the battery was drained. The same happened with the second battery despite the fact that both the batteries were fully charged.

The tools are of great build quality, and seem to get any job done with ease. I also purchased the new AC-DC transformer, which allows me to run all the tools from the mains when I'm at home, but the product still offers all the flexibility of cordless tools.I work as a kitchen fitter, and having all the tools in one box means I just take the case from the van with a few hand tools and I don't have to go back again all day, as it seems to handle anything I throw at it! The extra thin circular saw blade does a great job of adjusting kitchen cabinets, having no problem at all with laminated chipboard, and the jigsaw is great for the awkward fittings. I've just read the reviews on this page, and it seems as if a few of the problems mentioned have been fixed in the newer versions, and I thought it would be good to highlight these. Firstly, my...
