It doesn't have a lot of bits, but really how many do you need? I only ever use two.
It's $70 I think, so it's a little more expensive, but it's smaller, more comfortable, wireless, and DREMEL brand.
I'm always skeptical about buying off-brand tools. But it's up to you. I highly recommend the Dremel Stylus.

Plastics hate abrasive bits and you will probably never even use the sanding bits. Especially if you have a few decent needle files and X-acto knives which will be much easier to control.
You didn't even bother looking at the link.I'm always skeptical about buying off-brand tools. But it's up to you. I highly recommend the Dremel Stylus.
My advice is NEVER buy a cordless tool for home use. They're a complete waste of time unless you have to work away from outlets, and even then most people that do will have a bay full of batteries charging in sequence.

I love that puppy.
Back before when I didnt know any better I was just sanding the plastic down instead of cutting it like this thing is meant for. The sanding created all these burning plastic fumes. I breathed in too many fumes and went crazy. I went crazy and started to sand away at my face in front of the mirror. This is why I wear the mask, this is my shame.
Dremels are pretty expensive for you guys eh?
Here in Canada we have dremels for cheap. Like Dremel band dremels for $30 but for $50 you can get a very good dremel. Well its all you will ever need for nerf. Like CS said, forget about cordless for the home It is very pointless.
I don't feel the way I used to do.
I know its bad,
After what we had,
But I’m just not the angel you knew.

What I got is called the "Dremel Stylus". It's MUCH smaller than those, is wireless, has a charging base and comes with a little plastic case with a bunch of bits.
I highly recommend the Dremel Stylus.
I second that, it also has a nice stand that has places to hold 6 bits. And yes It is alot more comfortable than a normal Dremel.
CS, what is that bit called?

Is this a GOOD quality for the price and a budget of $50?

It is Dremel brand, but you need to explain how often and for what purposes this will be used for (will it be exclusively for modding guns, or do you need it for work/projects?)
This thing is your best friend. I used it for my LS and Mav mods, and it works beautifully. The 5-speed Dremel that I use is a good choice for this bit, and I recommend both items to nerfboi instead of the one in his pic, but it's ultimately his decision.

It isn't half bad either, It can go up to like 60,000 rpm, and it comes with a carrying case, a stand, a bunch of worthless sanding and cutting bits, and an extension peice. You are going to want to by new dremel bits no matter what dremel+set you get. I bought a diamond cutting bit for $8 at Homie D's and a smaller metal one for $5 there too.

I would be using to sand/cut away plastic to make the gun shell fit better. No I won't use it for work, considering that I don't do projects really. For example, I'm planing to cut away the ammo holders on the first generation nitefinders. So would that be a decant tool for my case?

However, that bit will eat plastic if you work with the serrated sides and not jam the flat end against the plastic, like some people I remember. When the Dremel I mentioned and the bit in the pic are used, you will get a near-perfect result.
