Unless you have tried one previously and loved it, I would advise against a
Dremel.

Basically, I find it's in that awkward middle ground, it doesn't have the
nads for serious work, (even cutting out SCART outlines on a 19" Rack
Panel
was too much for it) and it's too clumsy for really fine work...

I have the corded variable speed one, which jenni got me for a Christmas
Pressie a couple of years back. every time I get the chance and a new job
presents itself, I pull it out, and give it a bash. each time, I put it
away, and use hand tools, (for fine work) or my "real" power
drill.

I have a B&D KR700CRE (also a chrimble pressy). This is an amazing
allrounder that copes fine with everything from drilling 12mm Masonry holes
right through my external walls for Halogen lights, down to ultra precise
3mm holes in a plastic case for mini-leds. It's paid for itself many times
over, whereas the Dremel has yet to perform a useful task. :(
