Dremel / Multi-Tool Advice and Recommendations

I have 2 corded Dremels and an Amazon copy,..they all do the job…can’t really see the plus on cordless as most jobs seem to take a bit of effort so running flat mid way through seems not do good…don’t see (for me) it’s worth paying the price premium for the real Dremel…useful bit of kit..most of them come with right angle drive, various sanders etc..you tend to consume those at a prodigious rate..
Flexible drive may be useful…generally it’s not work for me ..

I have two dremels (one corded, one not), the battery one is useless as it dies in a few minutes and does not have power.
The connecting bits break and fly everywhere in bits so you have to be really careful.
I would use a much, much more powerful tool to do actual jobs, dremel is not up to wheel refurbs. (I have a Fein multitool that I use for everything).

Go Dremel, not cheap copies. The bigger motor the better IME.
I have a Draper 'dremel'. It's crap. Motor overheats at the slightest opportunity and the speed controller is rubbish. It cam with about 1,000 'tools', all of which are completely useless as they are rubbish quality.
When it dies, which will be soon I think, I will get a 'proper' Dremel. Corded, as they have bigger motors.
BTW I am talking of rotating tools, not oscillating ones.
Another option for a more powerful rotating multi-tool is to get a small router. All the tools will fit and they are basically the same; ie a speed variable motor with a collet chuck. Just need to be single hand use.
