I don't see a flexi-extension included in that one.
I bought one from Aldi today, much better than I was expecting

yeah but first thing I see is the dodgy brush holders, to me that says pish tool.
why? cos I had one like that and it went though brushes like butter as they were soft as hell.

The REAL Dremel one I had has the same brush holders and worked like a dream until I clogged it up one time (the problem wasn't brushes). So
these might be alright.
Incidentally, I got a cheap one (Screwfix) and it was total rubbish.
Maybe the Netto ones are alright, but once you've used the real thing anything else is likely to be a pale comparison.

Yeah I have a dremel but the brush holders are flush and the newtools one has no visible ones. Both are top marks tools.

I've had an Aldi one for 2 years now, I'll admit I don't use it every week but it has been well used and done a lot of grinding,
drilling and cutting and it's still going strong. The stand and flexible extension would cost you more than the tool if you bought it for the
Dremel. When I bought mine it had a 3 year warranty on it as well so I don't think you can complain, especially if you've never bought
one. Edit:- I also used the tile cutter attachment which I thought would have knackered it with the dust it kicked out but it was fine after I
cleaned it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
