Morning chaps,

I'm after your recommendations for a mini drill (cordless or corded), I need it to drill fibreglass/plastic/thin metal...the usual modelling materials. Preferably with a multi speed control, a decent chuck that holds drill bits securely, and one that will take a variety of extras.

I'd like a decent one, one that won't fall to pieces a week after purchase, and one that comes fairly complete with all the bits needed to use it straight away.

Priced around...say fifty quid(ish)

I've used a Dremell for years.....don't know what they cost now!
I thought it expensive when I bought it, but never a moments trouble.   
"Buy the best you can afford when buying tools" is a good maxim.

Second item down....Dremel 300 + 25 accessories. Just under £40....how's that one? Looks good to me?

Nah....That's not good......It is excellent. Snap it up Rich. I have one and it is very good. While you are at it though buy the keyless chuck for it. Much better than the collet system..

That'll do for me....cheers Barry, good man yourself.     Out with the plastic then (no paypal  )
