I bought a cheapie B&Q jobbie with about 100 add-ons for less than £20 and its still going strong despite being regularly abused. Dremel are
overpriced and play on their trade name imo.

Maplin has an offer on, was £29.99 now £19.99 for a dremel copy in a little metal case with about 10 different types of accessories, comes with a
FREE 400 peice accesory set in a natty little case which is normally £19.99 on its own!
It stalls when you try to cut through 2mm steel though....

I had a couple of cheapie ones and they broke, well I broke them, then got a Dremel and it's 100 times more robust. Did all my head work with
ome and still working like new...Get what you pay for in this case....If just for some cutting of soft material or light sanding the cheap ones are
OK.
