    I have no idea what is a good price to be terribly honest. I mean, you'll put it to good use so u should grab one but i'm not sure if it's a good price isall.

    YOU, good sir - should be encouraging me - :b I need it for the jetfire leg thing I've cracked the leg open and it looks very good and very doable. Just need the dremel now :b

    I don't know .

    Are you gonna be using it more than once or twice? Or is it gonna be an oversized paperweight?

    Well, bloody buy it then you slaggin' slacker!

    EDIT:
    I believe, hopefully recalling correctly now, that they're supposed to be for customisers to cut bits here and there to get the right shape.

    Dangerous things these dremel kits, if your not carefull you can really tear apart the plastic to beyond the point of no return. Practice on junkers if you get one.

    +1 to that if you have never used a Dremel before.

    I bought the corded model years ago just for the heck of it and ended up using it for so many jobs I wore out all the useful bits it came with This one is only $10 more than the one I got (genuine Dremels cost HEAPS more than similar models from other brands) so if you DIY a lot I think you would find other uses for it.

    The good: rare stylus grip, fairly small/light for a cordless tool, quality brand
    The bad: only 7.2v - light duty only, not a great price from the seller - $60ish US in the States where they are made, generally expensive rotary cordless tool!

    I would buy one as I have done lots of plastic work with mine but do some basic shopping around for yourself dammit, after all you know best how you prefer to buy. If you have credit and are OK with overseas shopping, I would suggest that current dollar exchange rates would lean me towards looking in the US first to cut out these middlemen
