After searching and coming up empty I thought I'd toss this question out to the fine folks of the forum...
At our hangar we have insufficient current carrying capacity to start a reasonable-sized air compressor. Please don't go off on a tangent about shop electricity - it is what it is and I have to live with it until multi-thousands of dollars can be found to implement a better solution.
In the meantime, I can't run my 1/4" straight and angle air-driven die grinders. I love these tools. The Dremel gets a good workout but just doesn't have the same level of utility offered by the die grinders.
Are there any decent 115Vac or battery-powered alternatives to these 1/4" die grinders? Something reasonably small and offering similar controllability. I have small hands so something like a Makita angle grinder is just far too big and doesn't offer variable speed control like a die grinder.
Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions.
