Default Whats a good moderately priced dremel tool?

Simple question,
as these things seem to come in handy for ALL SORTS
of things to do with turbo setups, and any sort of custom anything pretty much.. auto related or not.

SO i'm wondering, what might you guys recommend I buy
that is a good dremel tool, but doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Should I get something that comes with a bunch of different bits, or buy that separately?

correct me if i'm wrong but these arent too expensive?
I remember glancing at them briefly in a hardware store and seeing prices around 15-40 bux or so?

sound right?

My first instinct is Ryobi,
although I dont know much about this subject,
from what i've seen, they're kinda the "sony of little electric hand tools" hehe.

again.. sound right?

thanks abunch in advance!

I suggest taking a trip to sears during one of their sales.

hmm, I might just do that.

or at least go to sears to buy one..
for some reason I always avoid that place even though I know full well its probably the best place to buy tools :P

but anyways,
what about which would be a good quality dremel?

Why would you want to avoid sears? They have all kinds of electronics and tools to play with!

I'm not too sure what a good brand would be, but I hate my my dremel tool. Maybe if I could rig up a lawn mower engine to the thing it might actually dremel something. I think all it really does is make noise.

Sears is the only way to go for your dremel, because the craftsman brand dremel has a 1 yr free replacement warranty, and they will repair it for free for life. I have destroyed a couple already, so that has saved me.

My 4.5 inch grinder comes in handy more than my Dremel. It makes it alot easier and faster to cut plastic than a Dremel
