Ever thought of getting the flexible drive
shaft
for the dremel? - I reckon that woulf make it a lot easier for fine work,
as you
don't need to hold the whole thing, just a bit the size of a
ball-point
pen...

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. :(
