what flexi shaft???MelaQuin wrote:Good news on the cordless. I've only burned out one Dremel so far but the next time I will try the cordless. I held out for far too long getting the flexishaft and boy does it make a difference. When I got mine last year it was $70 compared to Ozito's $16 but the difference in quality and lasting power [it doesn't break immediately!!! or even after a lot of work] is worth the extra money.

The Flex-Shaft looks like this... And the blurb on Dremel.com.au goes like this...
S.dremel.com.au wrote:Tight spots, nooks, crannies, corners – they’re all easily within reach when you add the Flex-Shaft Attachment to a corded rotary tool or the new 9.6V Cordless MultiPro®. The flexible, 36" (91.44cm) shaft attaches easily and adds a new level of versatility to your project capabilities, with fingertip control for polishing, carving, sanding, engraving and more.

Re: Carving
I'm looking into buying a dremel and was almost convinced to get the 10.8v cordless with 40 bits after the previous posts but then I found a corded 400 series for about the same price with 80 bits and a flexi shaft....
Now I'm just plain confused as to which one to get....
