DeWalt die grinders

[imagedude]

There seems to be a glut of cheap DeWalt D28886 and D28885 die grinders on eBay, I'm trying to resist temptation!

Well I gave in to temptation. I made an offer for the variable speed grinder and, sadly, it was accepted. It arrived today and is new in box as desribed, however the size came as a shock, it's like a babies leg!

Here's a photo of it next to a Dremmel.

They are usually used with mounted points (ceramic grindstones) or carbide burrs. Both are available from www.cromwell.co.uk, they also sell the 3mm shank tools suitable for some Dremmel type tools.
