I just needed one of my Dremels to step up to the plate and they weren't up to the task.I looked at the new 4000 Dremel and saw a lot of bad reviews. I purchased a Proxxon 38481 IB/E Professional Rotary Tool for about $30 bucks more. Check em out. Very nice.

That looks good, Darcy. I've never really considered Dremel tools to be good for much more than toy and hobby stuff anyway.
If you want to get really serious, I bought a Foredom brand die grinder some years ago, that has the motor separated from the grinder by a 4 foot flexible cable. You can hang the motor part above, and work with the 'wand', which is not much bigger than a ball point pen...and it cooks. It's able to get into some pretty tight spots.

Honestly I used to feel the same way, and still do for the most part, but I did buy one of those Showtime Rotisseri bout 12 years ago... best investment I ever made... never a problem with it and it cooks chicken beter than the Q.

The infomercial shows that you could either build a house or tear one down, using only this tool......incredible.
I've always wondered if these things were all they were cracked up to be. At that price, they'd better be. Watch out, though, there are a lot of cheap knock-offs out there, that I'm sure wouldn't last a week.
Harbor Freight has one for 39.99. Gotta be a real jewel. Although, I bought a 4 and 1/2 inch grinder from them several years ago, and it's still going strong......knock on wood.

Not only can you hang the motor out of the way, the handpiece/tool holders are changeable to suit your needs. They have a myriad of handpieces including slim grip, large barrel, quick releases, and hammer motion instead of rotary.
