So Jack, I guess the question that has to be asked, are the Dremel blades as good or at comparible in quality to the Fein in practical use?
Also, I am remembering some discussion on another group of the problems with blades loosening up on the Dremels when being used. A call to Dremel ( IF I am remembering correctly) got the individual some kind of star washer or other arrangment to help remedy that problem.
Anyway, have you had a chance to use the Dremel blades, and more importantly, do you like them? I wouldn't expect Fein quality at half the price, but wonder if the blades are just more Chinese crap.

They loosen up on the Fein (model I bought lo these many years ago), they don't cut flesh (showed my wife this just two days ago), and they Bend. Had to pound one flat for work this week. When I bought mine it was over priced and I suspect it still is. I'd buy the HF Chinese Crap, just make sure you clean off the Cosmoline/CatPee before use. If you have cats or dogs (well, any mammal with a nose), get the box into the recycling right quick. They use Cat Pee in the cardboard glue. Same stuff they use in the plywood. I'm thinking they got a Lot of cats in China ...
