Hands down, my Dremel tool is the most useless POS I've ever used!
I've got all the bells and whistles for it, and it still isn't useful
for a damn thing except for cutting round holes in ceramic tile with a
rotozip bit (poorly, I might add) The sad thing is that this is the
second one I've bought. The first one was a cordless model that I
sold after a month to some poor sucker who thought it was a neat tool,
and then I made the mistake of buying a corded version because I
thought it might work better somehow.

For me it's a B&D "electric file" - basically a needle-nose belt
sander. It's a something that should be handy as hell but it's just
too damned vicious. Touch it to a piece of wood and you have instant
"**** - too much". I've never been able to get anything done with it.
Next?

Yeah, those suck for wood- but they sure are nice for deburring steel
or gouging out hunks of your storm window tracks to wedge in an
air-conditioner!
