i bought a dremel, which i used to drill holes in metal/wood... can use for sanding/polishing... also it has a nice attachment that cuts into plastic really well... it was like $29 at lowes and well worth the investment

I'd recoemnd the Black and Decker version, bit more $$ but lasts a lot longer.

We've been through 3 dremels, still have the black and decker.

Just used it to cut the 1/4" steel on the body of my car for the kicks.

And I'll back up what Scott said, go with the nice discs, I have yet to find anything that the little crappy ones can even cut...lol

^^ ya the crappy ones that came with mine.. they break really easy.. so if you use them make sure to wear eye protection

I got the reinforced discs, the are a little tougher to break but do an alright job at cutting. Of course that is cuz I am cheap sometimes when it comes to the little things.
