The dremmel is actually really easy to use. I found the one I bought on the WalMart website so you'll know how it looks. It's in the Home Improvement Dept. with all the tools and shit.

That one looks really nice.

Did you buy extra attachments? I looked at your link and it said it only came with a sanding wheel and extra sandpaper. Am I reading it wrong?

I, too, used a screwdriver to hollow out a head (DG Duke's), but it took a while and I'm still not happy with it (needed to get it deeper). However, I'm afraid that when I dremel it, I will go too deep and wide, and end up with a loose head. How do you guys control that facet of customizing?

...and don't answer with, "That's what she said." I'm well aware. ;)

Okay, cool...I was just trying to see what the egg shaped attachment looked like. I see a cone-shaped attachment with the link from Wal-Mart (courtesy of sbartek1974), wasn't sure if that's what you meant.

I also bought this accessory pack. Has a lot of bits to use to make the neck holes just right.

I've had a Dremel since '09, and I've definitely got my money's worth out of it.

Bought my dremel at a pawn shop for 15 bucks. One of the best investments I ever made
