    After a good cordless mini drill

    Afternoon

    My parkside mini drill is playing up, bit annoying as it's not used much, so been looking around for a cordless one.

    Found a Goxawee and Randell on Amazon, not expensive in the region of £25 or so? I know that Dremal are good but for the use it will get, they are too expensive.

    Can anybody pass on advice and feedback on their experiences of drills

    I've got a Parkside cordless, which is brilliant. The only thing I'd change about it is the position of the on/off switch.

      I bought in 2017 , still using it.

      i find it far better than any cordless unit, but, I also use a parkside cordless for plastic work.

        I just stuck with my Dremel. All I did was buy a chuck and a handful of mini drill bits for it!!

          If you're only wanting a light duty tool....................

          It works very well for plastic & light wood. It sits on my bench, ready to hand - great for those 30 second jobs - the charge lasts quite a while. Two collets mean that you can fit a whole range of cutting, grinding polishing tools - and drilling with PCB drills.
          Not bad quality - not Dremel, but at the price, good value!

              I have had this for a few years now. Can't fault it. Best thing is the speed can be dialed right down.

                Still looking around

                Found a dremil stylo 2050 for £45, nice and small but not a lot of accessories? Not for heavy use but ideal for plastic etc

                It's not cordless but interest free for 5 monthdmd, so very tempting.

                  Ordered the Dremil, good price plus a £5 voucher and free post.
