any good?

If they are exposed boards then I use my Bosch PMF180 (similar to a Fein) and stagger the cross cuts so it's not too obvious and lift them by putting a screw in the end (just in the board) and lift with a claw hammer.

If it's carpeted or chipboard then I let loose with the circular saw and rip it up with a flat pry bar! ! ; )

Is that the...

but if use a circular saw and just cut across them all, when u put them back down, the floor will flex, where are cuts are made...

Surely you aim to cut on a joist

matt, i have the Einhell and thinks its a good peice of kit for what i use it for, unless you have 200 notes for the fien.

with the chipboard you can get a bolster type chisle to break off the tounge.

circ saw.

or sometimes either a 100mm or 150mm holesaw. once done, some 2x1 under the floor will hole the cutout back into place
