So the missus kindly offered to treat me to a dremel for Father's Day on behalf of my daughter after catching me dribbling over them in B&Q the other day.
As there are so many variants available, what is the best value for money in terms of power, usage, tools available etc...? Recommendations guys.
Probably looking around £50 or so.
Having never owned or used one beforeis it sad that I am slightly excited already?

Great info as always kev. Yeah reading your diary to see what is possible with refurbishment was what got me hooked on the thought.

If you go down the Dremel route don't buy cheap bits. The stuff from Dremel is great and seem to really do the job. The cheap stuff just falls apart.

Kev - I still have your suspension bits so will pop over some time soon when it's warm one evening. We could go for a joint hoon!
