Buying a Dremel

dispatch.o

So I'm in the market for a new Dremel.

Was thinking of the (not cordless) Dremel Digital with the flexible extension and the 37$ accessory pack. Anyone have another brand they prefer or anything? I'd heard of Rotozip but haven't been able to find a rotary tool that looks to have the same functions.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Here's a bundle with exactly what I want, I think. (the add all three to cart pack)

I have both a Dremel and the Craftsman equivalent. They're pretty much identical.

I would recommend looking at the Dremel XPR series, as they have an even larger selection of accessories, but from the reviews i've seen, they look to be somewhat unreliable.
Rotozips, from my understanding, aren't the same kind of tool as a Dremel. Both are high speed rotaries, but teh Rotozips are meant more for "plunge" cutting, and are less versatile.

The kit you picked out looks good- the flex shaft attachment is really useful.

The Rotozip is also a lot burlier than a dremel and more of a handful(bigger/more powerful) so it is not the best for modeling and detail oriented projects.

You can fit just about any thing that fits a dremel in the Rotozip head, tho they mostly get used cutting out drywall for electric boxes . They also make a cutoff attachment for it.

I have the dremel for fibre glass and making plastic moulds for my car and it was expensive but its incredible what you can do with it. I got it with a few extra kits thrown in (ask the store they might put them in for free).

I really havn't used it enough to get its money worth though. Just make sure you will. Think i paid 170 AUS bucks all up
