Ah, that's what you mean.

It still has a cast time, you can easily test by using a skill with a long casting time like flame jet from the flamethrower, then casting personal battering ram during it.If it had truly no cast time, then you would cast personal battering ram while still using flame jet, which is not what happens. Flame jet gets interrupted in this case to cast personal battering ram.

Same happens with the toolbelt skill.The thing is that some skills have cast times which are so fast, that it isn't listed as a casting time anymore. Another example of this is the auto attack of ranger's shortbow. Obviously, it does have a cast time (otherwise you would shoot unlimited arrows in a second of autoing), but the cast time is just so short that it isn't listed.

Most likely this is another example of the same old story with Anet: they made a change to personal battering ram lately that increased the cast time (feb patch), but they forgot to change the gadgeteer alongside (they always forget gadgeteer....).So they didn't remove the cast time at all, they just forgot to nerf the gadgeteer version on top of the base version.

Btw, you wouldn't have to get through my "trash" (even if I just was genuinely asking) if you made the slightest bit of research about this topic yourself. If you had used the skill, you would have noticed that it still has a cast time, why ask on the forum if you can easily test yourself?

Bro, it's a simple questions. When did they remove the cast time of it - assuming they did intentionally. We all know about the fails to the gadgets. Try to focus on the actual question being asked. Don't answer questions that hasn't been asked.

And obviously I'm refering to the cast time the untraited version has that doesnt exist on the traited one now.. Other interruptable things like animations and pre/after casts exist on other 'instant' skills so that whole part was completely useless info.
