What does anyone think of items such as:

Main reasons to get it would be for re-grinding f**ked chisels, mower
blades, etc. along with removing burrs from any metal work I might get up
to. Don't want to spend too much as I won't use it that often, but don't
want it to catch fire either (oh .. such fond memories of my sub-£20 belt
sander that caught fire while sanding down the top of a door frame ..
while on a ladder (I'm sure there're at least a couple of lessons to be
learnt there!))!

I bought a Lidl one for £9.99 just for sharpening things. At that price it
is almost disposable ;o)

Lidl and Aldi have them on sale quite a lot. In fact I think my local in
Glasgow still have loads left.
