If you dash down to Lidl, you might find one of their own brand ones

battery - but given it will usually be used at the bench, not a
problem. It's excellent value for money - unlike Dremel where you're
paying for the name and advertising.
The Aldi version of this http://goo.gl/1dsgl Machine Mart Clarke CRT40
only cost me £15 and is doing well. 140W motor on 230V mains, not
battery.
Is that direct mains? The Lidl one is low voltage fed from a discrete
mains transformer (by the weight).
It's difficult to tell by the picture, but I'd say it's also rather larger
than the Lidl one which fits the hand easily.
