I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

I mentioned an electric die grinder recently.....
I bought a Makita https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Makita-GD0...311421&hash=item58981ceb3c:g:IHIAAOSwbsBXnzG8 for a nice bit less than that but same model.
Got to use it properly for the first time on Saturday, it lacks the drama of an air grinder, and I think lacks the outright balls, but I could do with a new burr to say for sure.
But it never slows, you never have to wait for the tank to refill so you still get more done.
Just a few minutes from a to b in 5mm box

That's the tool I "need"!
I have a cheapo air one and a little compressor which makes it painfull to use.
Decent price that.

I have wanted one for ages but couldn't bring myself to buying a decent brand, when the lidl had one I caved.

It cuts out quite quickly when you push it, and also it's quite heavy. Maybe not compared to other brands but much heavier then a corded one (obviously).
Only bought it to save on the extension cord hassle for small jobs, we'll see.

Grab a few extra batteries @£11.99 well worth having a few as only 2 amp hour bought the sabre saw and impact driver as well and have 6 batteries . The 3 year warranty they come with what's not to like for your money .

They also had a 4 amp battery. However I thought I'd try first. Maybe I'll go crazy and get the sawzall as well, would only be like €40 extra compared to a 2 amp battery alone

I don't know if they are in the shops, bought my grinder online and the 4 amp battery was listed.
I really didn't feel like fighting a granny for one.
