im looking for a dremel like drill.

don't really want to spend load's on a multi tool but after a drill that has variable speed and electric (not cordless)

i know a few people have got one simualr to a dremel from a shop called qd's(hope not a competitor)

haven't seen one in there for age's but if any one knows where they can get one then please let me know.
 
B&Q, just buy a smalled corded drill and pick up what ever drill bits you need, homebase as well.... any DIY store mate.

The bay of e is your friend here. Just search Dremel type tool and loads available for around the £20 mark. Can't say what quality is like on them but depends on what job you want it for. Not all have the varible speed you require though.
 
for the amount of time i will use it i cant warrant the extra on a dremel.

i have seen some on the bay but was after a variable speed but if i cant find one ill get from the bay.
 
I got a dremel, but NEVER use it, will sell it for £20 + PP if you want, pretty sure I got all connections and stuff with it, maybe a couple of broken blades, but a couple of quid for new ones can't hurt.

Recently got myself a Dremmel and tbh its awesome. Used to get the cheap copies but after going through a few of them I decided to go for the real thing. Best thing I have done. A local place called Trago Mills sells them for £30.00 so I would defoo say shop around and get a proper one.
 
I got a Dremel 400 digital (Yes, its damn good!)
Its far far superior to the Aldi one I used to have. You say you dont need it for long, but I can guarantee you will find a lot more uses once you have one.

And as been said, wear safety glasses. Especially when using the cutting wheels. They are prone to fragmenting due to the hardness / fragile nature of them.
 
I bought a cheap one from index back when they were still around, cost me something liek £12 and its still working, the rev button is broken (max's out all the time) but it still runs :D

Try the other large catalogue peepoles.

Depends really, in my experience, if you buy cheap you buy twice. Just get a dremel.

I agree - bought a cheaper one with more tools included from a well known catalogue shop and it failed along with its replacement - bought a dremel and have been fine for years.

also dont worry about the bits as these can be bought from anywhere and are dremel compatible.
