Default Alternatives for a Dremel...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember NT saying
something like:

The one thing I dont like about an old dremel die grinder is the on-
off switch. Instead of being a sanely designed press a finger to go,
let go to stop, its a tiny slide switch on the rump end, an
arrangement that surely borders on unsafe.


Yes, the Lidl one has that too, albeit a sliding toggle on the speed
control/off. I don't particularly like that feature of it; if the tool
falls it just keeps running.
