I'm looking for a Dremel and a micro-dremel.

I've heard they can be found in Home Depot. Is this true?

I've seen them in Home Depot, Lowe's, Radio Shack, and the like.
Harbor freight (online) has them sometimes for a good price as well as extra bits and such)

Copol,
I went to a Lowes websiute and saw 3 dozen demels. So I need advice on which type should a costumer/modeler start with? I'm looking for one for myself.
A friend needs a micro-dremel. So I figured on asking about both tools here. I hadn't been able to find one. Any help with links, brand names or where it can be found would help a tonne.

Dont get one thats battery powered. Always go for a mains powered version.
Also if you can afford it get a flexishaft attachment for it as thats probably the most useful accessory. means you can get into smaller areas and are not holding the entire thing, the flexishafts are slimmer making control easier.

I'd also get the variable speed one. It costs more, but it gives you more flexibility on different materials.

agrees on avoiding battery operated one. I have one and I regret buying it. Takes 3 hours to charge, 45 minutes to discharges and its always empty when you need it. I end up using the drill and damaging my work.
would say go for a good quality without too many gadgets. Quick, variable speed, not too many accessories. You can get whatever accessories you use later on.

A diamond-edged cutting disc is also worth investing in (they only cost about £1) They give much thinner (and less rough) cuts than the regular cutting discs, they don't wear down, and they don't shatter. They can bend if stood on, but being metal, they're easy to straighten out  I used a diamond-edged disc on my last saber, and think the results speak for themselves |

Yeah, I've had battery powered drills and such... not enough torque.
