I'm considering buying a Dremel, and simply wondered, what is the 'best' one to get? The Dremel 300 looks good, and you can buy with lots of accessories. The cordless model, the Lithium Ion or w/e looks just the same, but cordless (with a display but who cares). I don't really think the cordless one and all its features are necessary, and seems a bit more expensive than I'm willing to spend.
What I'm really asking, is what rotary tool do you guys have? Is it an actual Dremel, or a cheaper brand of rotary tool? Are they any good, despite not being the 'leading brand'? And would you suggest I get a Dremel or a cheaper copy?

That's what I feared, however I feel this is a reasonable topic, where I am simply looking for recommendations. I know I'm looking for a 'starter' one, so that I can always 'upgrade' later when the first has had the best of it's days. I am also aware that it needs to be the 'right one for me'; I obviously didn't make those two things clear in my first post. I just wanted any recommendations to which I could look into and which ones to possibly avoid, and whether getting a Dremel (rather than just any rotary tool) is worth the extra money or not.

Anyways, I'll look into that Black and Decker, thanks.

Get the basic one:

It will do anything you need it to for Nerf. I bought an expensive one, and regret it.

Don't get any $20 cordless ones, the battery doesn't last.

Dremel 300. I have one and it's never let me down.

neither dose the expensive cordless ones. Good idea but the battery dremels never work out in my opinion.
I use the rxt and it is great-buy that one-you can find them for 25-.

I have a dremel 300 as well. It came with a really cool cutting bit that looks more like a drill bit and will never break. It's held up fine for the longest time I've ever had a dremel last, and it's still working just like the day I got it. I had a few non dremel brand "dremels" that broke within a few months. I would just stick with a 300.

I have the dremel 300 and it is excellent. When I was first buying one I wanted a cordless because I thought the cord would get in the way, but it does not at all. I am happy I got the corded one because I don't have to worry about the battery ever dying on me or having to replace it.

Thanks guys, looks like i'll end up getting the 300 then.
