A couple of years ago I was in the market for a surform,after trawling eBay for a while I stumbled upon this one..I knew I had to have it & managed to secure it for a mere £4 great British pounds..The reason I bought it was purely the fact that it was quite old and still in its original box with the instructions,but most of all the drawing of the people using the surform on material it was shockingly marketed for..
•wood
•plastics
•metal
•asbestos!!
Obviously it’s been a good few years since this was made and the risks of asbestos are now well known..
It’s a nice little tool and il never use it just because of the history..A nice little time piece of the older generation builders..
