Default Dremel style mini tool - recommendations?

cutting between floorboards, but is still a bit brutal.


I'm looking for something to do more delicate work like cut a plastic
cover to an electrical item (removed, of course).


There is far too much choice on t'Internet so looking for recommendations.


£30 or under if possible although that may guarantee a piece of crap.



'Mains' or cordless?

I had a super Ryobi cordless. Just fine for doing those small jobs on a
PCB etc without having a dragging cord. Sadly no more, and no longer made,
as it fitted my hand perfectly. Better than any other, including corded
ones.

I've got a couple of corded ones including a Dremel, but still miss that
Ryobi.

Recently bought a Li-Ion JoustMax from Ebay which has the standard phone
5v USB connector for charging. It's a lot smaller than the Ryobi, so not
so nice (for me) to use, and three fixed speeds rather than variable. But
the best I've found so far.
