Hello Glenn, I am a big fan of Foredom tools, I have had this brand for more than 15 years and am still happy using it. It has many different handpieces to choose from. It is reliable and will last long. Just be careful with the counterfeit Foredom's, they flooded the market.Currently I'm seriously considering a Foredom. If I knew what I know now at the time I got the Dremel I would have saved up for the Foredom. From what I have read the cheaper knockoffs aren't worth messing with.
