    I bought a mains powered model from Amazon in 2016 @ https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013OYFDC8/
    I also have a lidl battery powered unit, which is less powerful, but more than good enough for plastic.

        I’ve had a Minicraft one for about thirty years, but have hardly ever used it, and then only for grinding and cutting metal stock. Personally I find a good pin vice and drill set is much more useful for plastic.

                To my knowledge, as with a lot of tools they are constructed in China, India but they are sold on ebay, amazon, screwfix, toolstation.
                Where I work at toolstream they are a b2b company.
                GMC is superior over silverline!

                  I have one of THESE. Excellent. The speed is adjustable from very slow which is a bonus.
