Default Harbor freight tools

i went to harbor freight last week and ran across a rotory tool with
about 60 accrssories(point and cut off wheels, etc.) could not pass it
up as it was only $7.99 and the cut off wheels and other tips would have
cost about $1.00 each, i know they dont seem like much.. the electric
tool does not have much power. i held the tip and turned it on and the
tool would not spin, but for the price i could not pass it up and could
use all the tips on my dremel rotory tool as i was looking for some more
tips for the dremel too anyway.. how good is the diamond pointed tools
and are they any good??? i see where they also have a 50 piece diamond
tool set for sale for about $19.95, but i guess it was locked up in the
cabinet as i could not see it on the shelves so i did not get it.....
the plain old emery cut off wheels go flying over my head just about
every time i use one and i was looking for something that last a little
longer, waste too much time putting a new emery cut off wheel onto the
tool.....
thanks for a reply... oh i learned that you have to use safety glasses
when using it, had 12 pieces of a broken cut off wheel in my eye in the
old days when i was too bad to think of eye protection... i learned the
hard way....
