Not if you have the flex shaft, which just about takes care of that issue.
Most people don't have shop air, contrary to popular belief. But I agree,
You will find yourself making use of air tools faster than picking up the
electric ones. I have both and I do like my Dremel with the flex shaft,
without that shaft I most likely would not have one.
BTW, I will DAGS the Foredom, but what about this would you say is
better than the Dremel. Just curious. Maybe if the Foredom looks to my
likeing I may upgrade.

I have an old single speed dremel that I've had for years, but I find I use
an air powered tool much more often - if you have shop air, this might be
a
valid alternative. I also have a Pfingst flex shaft tool (like foredom)
that is pretty handy for small work. the real problem with the dremel is
the weight of the motor is right there in the hand set.

I want a Dremel tool. Should I buy a standard Dremel, or the top of the
line? What would you do if you had it to do over again? Do I need all
the
stuff that comes with the most expensive one, or it just nice to have
around
IN CASE I need it? (Like lots of other tools in my shop.)
