Dremel clone is a good start. however....

almost all of the cheap tools are plastic in body and the thing will
heat up after some time. the problems range from bearings failing
and getting noisy (a good thing) to bearings failing and getting hot
and melting the plastic. ( a bad thing)

The dremel type tools need the cooling so make sure the vents are open.

and, if you can, buy from a local supplier with a good return policy.

Local means no shipping charges.

If the thing is cheap mail order, get two.
