Default Electric Sabre Saws

Of cutting out a seized castor/complicance bush/bolt collar assembly?

Which one of these would be most suitable:

Obviously, the most expensive one will probably be the most powerful; but would one of the cheaper ones suffice?

Or is it not worth spending the money and just letting someone with an air powered one do the job?

Many Thanks.

You will find the biggest problem with cutting throuh the bolts is getting in at them do the cutting. I did as much as I could with an angle grinder before I started using a saw to finish it off.

A cheap Reciprocating Saw from Hombase or B&Q will do the job just as well as an expensive one.

I dont think I could get an angle grinder into the chassis void at all for the compliance/castor bolt, not without grinding half the chassis/subframe!

you can rent a sabre saw for around £30 for a weekend, some of the cheap ones are quite bulky making it difficult to get them in the best possition
dont buy cheap blades they dont last
