I switched over to the fiber cutoff wheels that look like full size ones.
They hold up much better but are expensive. I did have a problem with them
grinding down really fast when they got LPS 2 on them while I was cutting a
screw slot on a frozen Philips screw that had twisted out.

Some bits are surprisingly useful, for example the sanding drums are
great
at removing quite gently layers of paint over even quite large areas.

One of the most useful of all is those tiny, fragile, cutting disks.
I
have done things with those that would otherwise take a torch. One
frequent use
is when I strip the head of a Phillips head screw. When that happens, you
just
cut a new slot across the head of the screw and apply a flat screwdriver.
The
harder the metal, the better those disks work. Thay sometimes grab badly
on
soft metal.

And some are not nearly as handy as you might think.

True enough. I have plenty of unused goodies in my kit.
