I'd like to get a dremel. Any suggestions on type or model? Do you prefer corded or cordless?

I'm initially getting it for fragging but I'm sure I'll find plenty of other uses.
 
I like the dremel tool kit, http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100647083&N=10000003+90401+502104

The flexible extension is what i use to frag, it keeps the cutting wheel away from the motor and main collet, if it gets a little sticky, I just lube the coil inside, just pull it out and do it.

Some get the cordless one, but I for one liked the kit, because it came with the grout remover, circle cutter etc....Plus I have a tendency to forget to recharge my cordless tools, so when i need to use them, I pull the trigger and get poof!
 
get the flexible extension, you will be very happy with it, its so light compared to the dremel tool body, so it's easier to use.

I got this one last year, never had a problem with it. Strong as all hell for what I use it for. Notching plexi, cutting screw heads off, etc... If your thinking of cordless I would definitely get this one, don't want to limit yourself with the weaker of the two.

and never ever try a diamond bandsaw. Once you do, you will never ever touch a dremel again if at all possible, for fragging coral :p
 
I have a cordless and it's been awesome. I use the cutting wheel attachment and find that the battery actually lasts a pretty long time. You do need to charge it though if you use it infrequently...
 
yeah after seeing Ian frag the Scoly, I was impressed in the ease, how clean it was, not throwing coral funk in the air, and how small it was. Definitely a must have if you frag a lot.
 
I got this one at Walmart. Decent for the price.

High speed is good for diamond wheels. Diamond wheels are super cheap from Harbor Freight.
 
I have the cordless 10V version and use it w/a 1.5" diamond wheel. Cuts through pretty easy if the piece isn't ultra thick.
