    or like me..the same situation as you, but a trip to the ER...trust me...
    course, you can go to the ER while using a dremel also..if you arent careful...
    and get safety glasses...for that rough, hotter n heck plastic bits that come off the figures....

      [QUOTE]You Don't know this Derek,.. because you have never Owned a Corded Dremel. [QUOTE]

      I did own a corded dremel...it sat in the corner gathering dust. I gave it to a friend who wanted it. It just didn't fit naturally in my hand when I used it - too awkward.

      But you are right BK - if I was making 3-5 customs a week, I would probably grin and bear it...and use a corded dremel.

      However, at the pace I make customs...the cordless is just fine.

          I drilled my Thumb with a 1/8th of an inch drill bit to the bone witha powerDrill. It's amazing how your flesh will churn like resin pieces.

            REALLY IT JUST COMES DOWN TO how much you will use one if you use it everyday like i do a cordless one wouldn't be a good idea . a corded one with like a pin grip on it , is made for more heavy use. but just tinkern 2 times a week or so a cordless one will be fine

                Here I go. Stepping into the Landmine... I started with a Dremel Mini-mite. soon I had to get spare batteries to get me through a project. Then I had to go looking for a charger because it went bad and wouldnt charge either battery. I soon found that the batterys or my dremel was discontinued and batteries would cost more to find and buy. The best thing I could also add is what ever you buy. Dremel or the Black and Dekker. Get one with versitile speed. A lot of accidents happen when you operate these puppies at speeds higher than needed. Start slow and bump up the speed as needed. If your plastic melts instead of just grinds away. Your tool is set too darn fast.
