old-git Moderator Points 657 Location Essex Car Elan & Robin Hood 11 July 2013 #6 Bought Dremel 4000, top of the range mains powered unit from B&Q. Bought it on Wednesday so got the 10% OAP discount Cost me £10 more than the cheapest ebay offering of this model, worth it for the guarantee. Looking at belt sanders and found this, seem stoo good to be true; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ferm-375w...Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item51a916c938
