Alright so I always see people mention things about DREMEL. Are they the best when it comes to rotary tools? I'm looking for something decent but affordable.

Anyone got brand/models they have and would recommend?

Thanks in Advanced

I have both a corded and cordless dremel. They do fine for small jobs, spare parts and accessories are readily available with great selection of wheels/tools. I also have a makita angle grinder for bigger cutting/sanding/stripping jobs.
