Andy,

Still trying to catch up on old mail, apologies for the delay.

I bought one of these from Argos last year. It was pretty cheap so it
won't=
be up to hard, full time use but was more than adequate for lifting my flo=
orboards (8' by 2' chipboard sheets). I cut the tongue off the 3 edges and
=
either levered out the nails (a tack lifter and/or claw hammer), or let
the=
m pull through the board and replaced with screws afterwards. The saw was
o=
nly 30 quid and saved me a huge amount of effort. With a hand saw you can
r=
isk cutting mains cables underneath the floorboards. With the circular saw
=
you can set the depth to *just* greater than the thickness of the board.
If=
you do get a power saw, please be careful; RCD, goggles / glasses and earp=
lugs are a must :-)

The other mighty-useful tool was a padsaw. I bought a Stanley (i.e. the
bra=
nd) knife and it came with a 8"-ish wood saw and a 6"-ish metal
s=
aw (they fit in like the regular blades). It's ideal for tight spaces and
t=
rimming already-fitted carpet gripper.

Pictures of my cabling runs are in the Yahoo photos area:
