For Xmas I'm getting a dremel and have no idea which one I should get. I was hoping someone could stear me in the direction of a high quality one for nerf that would be cheap including all the attachments needed. Thanks in advance. ^_^

Home Depot and Lowes sell some relatively cheap dremels, but the prices may be different where you are. A kit with the 5-speed dremel and about 20 bits costs anywhere from $15-$30 at Lowes, I think. I'll have to check to be sure.

Buy Dremel brand, or another known brand. Whatever you do, don't buy the cheap ones, you get what you pay for.

My favorite Dremel is a Dremel Stylus, because the pistol grip gives better precision than a normal Dremel. At Ace Hardware you can get one and a large pack of Dremel accesories for a decent price if I remember right.

I've seen one of those before, but I didn't think it was so great. I prefer the kind that you can hold like a pencil, but that's just the way I use mine.

Get one from Sears. If it ever breaks, you can get it replaced. They cost alittle more, but its worth it.
I got mine frome target for $24, it came in a carrying box with a stylus exstension and a load of dremel bits. But all of the blade bits are worthless and the sanding bits wear down pretty quickly. When I opend the box for the first time I took the stylus out and realized that the connecter peice had been broken. Target wouldnt let me return it or get it replaced. Other than those things I have had no problems with it. I went out and bought two other dremel bits, a really small toothed saw (it the on that forsaken angel uses) it is really good for cutting plastics and fitting into small spaces. The other Bit that I got was a dimond blade, It is really nice and has hardly worn down at all.

Your best bet is to probably go to Home Depot or Lowe's and see what you're comfortable with. You're looking for a solid feel and weigh you will like when it is on. I don't know if HD or Lowe's allows you to demo a product like that but you want something sturdy and with a weight that will provide a steady stroke.
