Stephen, Dremels are tools that really ought to be sold from market stalls by a salesman whose pitch is carefully developed to show how perfect they are for tattooing mouse ears. And he'll throw in not one, not two, but nine extra motor brushes!

My Woolies 'dremel' died last year and get replaced with another cheapo..
Lidl had a mini pneumatic rotary tool on sale a few months ago. I haven't used it in anger yet but it looks quite the biz. in a nice case with an in-line oiler. For jobs where a 'dremel' is going to get stressed.

Off topic but my best air tool may well be my Parkside brad/staple gun - used for pinning all the edging for a whole house laminated floor and currently stapling chicken wire to fruit cage frames.

Which electric tool is good then? I’ve looked at a Mikita, over £100 but still had some bad reviews.

I just had a look at the corded Makita die grinder on ebay, the only negative review was from from someone claiming it had to be sent back to makita for repair after 10 mins use, makita tools have a 3 year warranty if you register them, first year the retailer takes care, 2 and 3, you contact makita directly, you'll always get those "I bought a 6" rule, it's smaller than it looks in photos" reviews.
