Hi Antonio,

The Flex-Shaft looks like this...

And the blurb on Dremel.com.au goes like this...
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.

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....
