Default Aldi tools (Redux)

Gah. Ok, Aldi had a 'power craft rotary hobby tool' in a couple of
weeks ago, which is basically a cheap dremel.

I thought 'don't need one' as I have a Ryobi one I got some time ago.

However, now I do, as I need one with one of these attachments =
http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/...&product=14065

Now, a genuine dremel one is going to be over a tenner delivered, and
the Aldi one was £14.99 complete

Needless to say Aldi Blackwater (my closest) has sold out, and none on
ebay.

So, anyone know

1) Where I can get the standoff collar from cheapish
2) Whether any other Aldis have one of these in that they've seen
(preferably in the south east !)
3) Whether someone can get one and i'll reimburse plus P+P
4) Any other ideas ?

Otherwise i'll just go out and get the dremel one (which likely won't
fit directly on to my ryobi) ...

Cheers

Paul.

I take it you're in Derby, maybe I can look you up through Bourkes
peerage ;-)

P.

hand gear.
