My son is working on the pinewood derby car for Cub Scouts. Last year he managed to get a splinter of wood into second place. It was really impressive. At the end of it all, and considering that I have multiple sons, I decided to invest in a Dremel kit.
For the unititiated, Dremels are rotary tools. That means that only Rotary clubs use them. No. They can be used as clubs, which officially gives them at least one use more than the manual suggests, possibly putting it in the 1001 uses category. It grinds, sands, cuts, screws, routes, dices, and has never (to my knowledge) been used as a murder weapon.
In short, Dremels rock. Especially for detailing and small projects (like the pinewood derby).
And it fits in your palm. I picked a rather large kit up at Wal-mart for about $25 last March, specifically for the pinewood derby. But all of my problems are beginning to look like small chunks of wood.
And the power is in my hand.

Ah, yes. Well, I didn't mention it, but barring the cutting tool I'm willing to hand over the dremel to my 10 year old and watch him go to it. The speed is variable and the remaining tools don't seem life threatening. Even the cutting tool can't go really deep.
Of course, that I get to play with a new toy is a major plus in the purchase.
