    Lidl/Aldi (Cant remember which one) Also had them recently, not Dremel brand ones, but ones that would fit. They might still have them

    The dremel itself is a bit crap, no cheaper than in maplins, and I don't think they sell the heads separately.

    This is one of those things where its worth not getting in lidl.

    Not sure about the tool itself they have in maplins, the one I have is from Maplin too, still using the spare cutting discs and such that came with it, so cant comment on the lidl/aldi ones either.

    The Aldi/Lidl ones are probably fine but I just need some of the cutting discs because I used my last one yesterday and I've a stock to mod!

    the maplin ones are ok( rotacraft i think) but one of them i have went a bit weird and the variable speed switch had a mind of its own., i have another cheapo one i got in lidl a few years ago and its perfect. also have the real dremel from a few years ago and its aint any better than the lidl one., :)

    you can get the whole multypack of accessories from maplin for about 15-20quid.,

    Perfect! Was hoping it would be around that price!

    The head on my lidl dremel started to vibrate when used, it made it awful try to drill a small hole or cut properly.

    It just shook itself loose I suppose.
