Try DHL and you will really get your eyes opened. 50€ to send a A4 envelope of documents to UK. Would it not be cheaper to but a new sanding machine when you get to UK?

Exactly, 10kg case to go in hold is €20 with RyanAir if paid in advance

Doubt very much that airlines will accept, not because it is tools, but because it is electrical.
DHL probably will, as they own their planes, which only carry cargo.
Suggest you do as someone has previously suggested, buy a new one in the UK.
Cheers, J

Unfortunately the poster is dispatching to the UK which will incur additional paperwork (customs) and postage costs due to the UK being outside the EU and unless sent by DHL or similar courier service it will take much longer to reach its destination. Another advantage of Brexit!
