    woolworth had a £20 one with an included alu carry case and a bunch of accessories and cutting discs etc. One thing to keep in mind is that corded ones will generally be ten times better than battery operated / rechargable ones!

    you've had a few reccomendations already mate, or are you specifically looking to buy online (which is kinda silly as goin down the shops saves time and money as far as delivery is concerned ;))

    I highly recommend you don't get a cheap knockoff. I bought one about a year ago and it only lasted a month. Then I went and got the real Dremel brand. She's been running like a champ since.

    I purchased a cheap one origianlly that was only a little less than a true dremel, and it lasted only 6 months I then bought a cheap one whihc cost me $10 wihc was redicululsy chep and it lasted a few weeks. So I recomend going for a true dremel as my freind has one and it has been going strong for years.
