If you like the Dremel tool you would love a pneumatic die grinder!  They 
are small air powered rotor tools that turn at up to 25,000 rpm and 
produce about 1/3 HP!  Smaller, faster and much more powerful then a 
Dremel.  The only problem with a die grinder is that you need an air 
compressor.

Make sure you get a die grinder that has both a collet chuck and a 
normal adjustable drill chuck so you can use all of the Dremel bits.

They also make micro die griders.  They are about 1/2 inch in dia and 
about 6 inches long.  They only use a 1/8 inch collet so will work with 
1/2 of the dremel bits.  The micro die grinders turn at up to 56,000 
rpm.

You can but them from many tool stores including Sears and from the 
Northern mail order company (1-800-533-5545).

I still use my Dremel but use the die grinder much more.
