Long term exposure to the Orb of Confusion will give you...er.. confusion!

I got a cheep power tool one for £10.00 and have seen them or near enough in £-streacher and LIdil's for the same price.
Might take a bit longer to do stuff that the big money one's can do but i find it handy enough for hobby work and you can buy box's of extra head's for £10.00 as well and i use it with Andy's 1mm drill's.
If you keep the charger pluged in when using it, you get a bit more power from it than just using it's battery.
My mate got one too for house hold job's but found it no use so i have two but one of the charger's is A.W.O.L....  :icon_scratch:

So I won't be able to get one at Johnny Junks Surplus Stores in town then eh? :p Plus I hear you guys seriously maim your hands with dremmels on a regular basis if certain threads on the Reaper forums are anything to go by.

No, you only hurt yourself if you do something daft or unthinking like i did once, too much pressure with the drill bent slightly and it broke and i ended up with a tiny hole in my finger where the broken bit of drill stuck in my finger that was helping hold the figure.  :icon_tears:

Have one of the bench vice's that you clamp on bench's and stuff but never seem to use....  :shrug:

Wristacting is right. you only hurt yourself when you are doing something you shouldn't be really. Just read the instructions and then use some common sense. A Dremel or any tool like it is very handy for the hobby.

You'll note that I conscuiously resisted the urge to add the sentence "but most of those posts are by americans" to the end of that post.  :icon_w00t:

I have a chinese-dremel-like tool that I bought for around £8 that I was very happy with until my girlfriend handed me hers... it's like the same tool but for polishing nails and manicure, so it runs on lower revolutions to avoid maiming yourself, but with enough power to drill holes and getting rid of mold lines, with the added value that is more difficcult to maim your miniature too. The only drawback was the bright pink colour it was made of.
