Reciprocating wood carver

 

I want to buy a hand held reciprocating wood carving power tool. I saw one at one time but cannot find it.
Any help on where I might look for such a tool.

I'm a big fan of the Foredom company's products, except that one. I have no gripes about the quality of the hand pieces make, possibly because I could never really use it. I assume that was because the flex shaft ( which kept stripping ) ?just couldn't handle the forces needed to convert a rotary motion to an impacting force on materials?I would consider soft. ? ?

With a price like that I would think twice about buying one. I have all the hand carving chisels I would ever need. If I need a special I can just make my own and harden and hone the edge. Done that many times as a tool and die guy.
