Buying a Dremel

[Frosty the Pirate]

So I've been looking to buy a dremel, as I've started diving into my custom vehicles for my BA army, and figured instead of spending dozens of hours with an exacto knife for each cut I could use a dremel and be done in 5 minutes. It also helps that I need one anyway to do some work to my paintball gear since it's been dusted off for the summer.

I've been shopping around a bit, but I haven't used a dremel in about 3-4 years. So I was wondering if anyone had one they liked or what I should look for, whether cordless was a good/bad option, or any helpful advice.

Thanks in advance!

I just have a cheap Mastrcraft one and have had no problems with it....it's getting quality bits that is more important from my experience....cheap bits WILL snap/dull very quickly. I'd also strongly suggest getting a corded one. Given that most of the work you'll be doing with it will be done sitting down at a work bench, cordless doesn't really help that much, and nothing is more frustrating than having a cordless tool die in the middle of a job. With a corded one you're guaranteed a consistent power and speed.
