Not great, I have an earlier version. Battery life is low and power way too low.
230v versions of dremels are much better.

Cheers for that. Pity, it's a third of the price of a dremel

You don't need an original Dremel. I recently got one at Aldi which
is a gem and tears through plastics.
Important is that the motor is a 220-230v motor, not a little transformer at the plug or a battery.

What the man Edi above says ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have the same and its the dogs dangles. Bedded 2 Sako 75 rifles so far and its always handy to have about the workshop. Keep a lookout for the accessories package deal they have as well good bits for cutting and sanding in them.

+1 on the bigger aldi/lidl dremmels. I have one that does a good job. What I would suggest is a few higher quality bits for them.

have the mains powered on, its better than my batt dremel

I think the mods should make a Lidl sticky or thread. Seems to come up often... Maybe a good deals thread/sticky?
