Miniature?

Similar to Dremel, but cost rather less - and I'm not sure Dremel had a
cordless option at the time I bought it from B&Q, over 5 years ago.

Model #?

HTC-18 4.8v 19W 16000rpm

Pics?

Can't be bothered - do a Google. ;-)

It's had heavy hobby use and even the batteries lasted well. They are AA
size so cheap and easy to change.


Dremel has had a cordless hand grinder for more than 5 years.More like 10
years.

harbor freight has one that runs off 12VDC,comes with an AC adapter,or you
can run it on your auto battery.(or 8 D cells)

And five years is hardly elderly.

My Black & Decker AC drill turns 32 years old come December, a significant
percentage of my life, and the only upkeep it's needed was replacement
brushes about 1990.

Even my Sears "rotary tool" is at least 15 years old, and I wouldn't call
it "elderly".
