You can't miss with a Dremel....I recently inherited my Dad's, which I remember him working with in the very early 1950s....and it is still working great, but could stand a new set of brushes. However, if a Dremel is a bit too pricy at the moment, consider picking up one of the many Dremel knock-offs available at the discount stores. I recommend you avoid the cheapie battery-powered ones. You also need to check out the pinebox derby displays and see if you can find a wheel-turning mandrel. I found mine at Michaels.

Dang, just noticed you are an Aussie, so likely won't have access to pineb0x derby stuff. If you need some assistance getting a decent wheel mandrel, give me a pm. We might be able to work out a deal (particularly since I notice Commodore Amiga stuff on Ebay lots cheaper than can be obtained here).
