After several years of use , my trusty Minitaladro (Rotary tool? Minidrill?) died quietly at his home while at work...(Apart from the nasty smell of burnt plastic)
I´m looking for the same model and I´ve found out that it was a "French sold-Chinese made" knockoff of the Proxxon Micromot 50/E.
Well, I want exactly the same model but not necessarily the same brand because of its price (89€ here).
Looking through the net I found two lookalikes:

http://www.hobbiesguinea.com/product_info.php?cPath=108_579&products_id=4292
But when it comes to the price they all end costing more or less the same because of postal costs (around 30€)
Does anyone know a cheaper source? Or can someone point me to the original tool I owe -Thechnipro Nº1472- that I think is still sold at some Auchamp supermarkets in Europe? TIA
PS: I think It is clear enough the reason for this search...Lack of funds.

Well, it's not the same one, but it's definitely a cheap source from Hong Kong.

No, not the same , but really cheap... How good is service? I´ve seen several interesting things. Maybe I´ll buy some of the above. I´m getting tired of searching without result.
