    I've found that you get what you pay for in the rotory tool world. Dremel or Black and Decker for me thanks.

      I purchased a Dremel years ago for customizing. Found it to be way more power than I needed for the delicate work. Of the ten speeds, I could only use the lowest with out friction heat destroying the material. Purchased cheap Harbor Freight rotary tool. Much better for light material work. .

        I second this!!!! Most of the High Grade machines are too Darn fast and just melt the heck out of the plastics. I am currently looking for a more controlled option. I've even considered going back to a regular drill as most vary speed depending how lightly their trigger is pulled.

          I have a Dremel brand tool as well as a cheap $12 harbor freight rotary tool and I would concur about power output. The dremel is adjustable however even on the lowest setting it can be a bit much, i like having them both if I need to switch
