Sandpaper on the shoes sole will fix that
Honestly I've got it on AliExpress right now, before someone else buy all of themView attachment 510392
It's around the price tag you quoted above 30 pounds is very close to 50 euro.
Collet chuck cause it's not as wide in diameter compared to a regular chuck, so it will take 6mm only but it can go inside a smaller bore.
That's the main reason of my choice .
It's not a tool I use every day so I don't think I'll need the other sizes collets
But if so I'm sure I can get them on AliExpress too .
That's my first real clone, cause it has Makita written on it.
And if it's as good as my cordless angle grinder clone I'm surely not going to regret it .
I have many grinders but having a cordless die grinder is something very convenient.

Since I'm here, I've bought those deans connectors for my other two airsoft ARs
So I can test them and eventually customize
Your linked grinder coming up at over £42 on my screen.
I can buy the same thing on ebay uk for nearly half that price!

Adding shipping, taxes and custom duties to it and will cost much more for me
Wich equals to
More than what I've paid for the one I've got on AliExpress

I did actually buy 3 LED head torches once from eBay. Really good for back then but the chunky old ones that took 4 AAs. They were dirt cheap. The seller actually wrote "priced to sell as instructions in French"

Those look very similar to the two I have, bought separately. The first was from eBay / Ali or similar, the second came from the Sainsbury's petrol station. Annoying in that you have all those button presses, because it cycles through main LED on / tiny spot LED on / off instead of just having an on/off switch. And if you hold the button for a few seconds, it lights up in red instead of white. Apart from that it's pretty good, though the magnets are only just strong enough to hold it.
My Sainsbury's one failed after a few months because the USB charge socket isn't fixed to anything, it just uses the pins onto the board to hold it and after several cable insert / remove cycles, the socket came adrift. They replaced it under warranty, which was an advantage over the one I bought from overseas.

Just tried a 1/4 shank router bit and it fits no problem. Also tried a 7mm drill bit and that was ok as well. I haven't tried anything bigger as it was almost maxed out with the drill bit.
Looking forward to seeing the final version of the case.Doing the front discs on my Mondeo on Monday and I couldn't find my 1/2" drive 7mm bit
So I bought these:

The base of the hex bit holder:
Tree supports for the front lettering. The H8 isn't the cleanest for some reason, note the wispy bit of black filament:
Some on the fly keyhole slots should it need to go on a wall:
Useable at least. Lid next.
