I have a Dremel I bought 10 or 15 years ago.  Would have been great when 
I was a kid playing with tiny models and hobby crap.  As a "grown up" 
tool, it has pretty limited usefulness.  It's too small and slow for 
most things I thought it would work on.  And the Dremel-brand bits are 
crazy expensive (Harbor Freight versions soften some of the cost impact.)

The thing the Dremel did best was convince me I needed compressed air 
and a real die grinder.
