Probably crap.

A real dremel with a warranty isn't very expensive.

what does this have to do with a sedan?

dremels are about $50 for nice ones. $10 ones might be ok for light use but remember you have something spinning at 5k RPM if it breaks you can loose an eye finger or w/e

Also remember that this one looks to have only one speed. Not the greatest if you have multiple uses planned for it.

Variable speed is much nicer.

There are a couple of things worth buying at the Chinese Cheesecake Factory (otherwise called HF) but those are few and far between. You can google for what things are worth buying there, you may be surprised at how often the topic comes up all over the place.

Just get the real thing though. I think I saw the new Dremel 3-in-1 on sale at HD the other day. Looks legit.

I would stay away from the electric dremels in a whole if you have a compressor. Air tools ftw. Even the nice electric dremel will crap out on you. Harbor freight is a one time use only tool store hahaha.

I have a compressor and a cut off wheel along with a angle grinder but i use electric dremels as well, dremels offer a more fine tune and more detail, i can use it on the inside of cars with ease not so much angle grinder.

I've used these on the sedan. Honestly i had a $75 dremel, $50 craftsman cordless and a $20 pepboy one made by wynn.. I kept the wynn for the price that amount that i use it and its varible speeds of like 1500rpm-10k, I NEVER USE it at 10k. most i think i went up to is 5k. I assume you want to install rear toe bolts... THe $20 kit i bought came with the flexible line that cost like $30 alone from dremel and well i dumped all the accessories because i didn't want a cutting/sanding disc flying at me at 5k RPM. i picked up a mini kit from dremel and loved it. It gets handy around the house as well for small stuff

I've had the same dremel for 8 years. It's polished alternators, cut headlights, etc etc.

Go figure haha. Well in that case if you think your going to only use it periodically and not to attempt to sand and polish an engine bay as an example I would pick up one from a local hardware store and go electric. That way you can use it for other small projects. The HF one will do the job, but pay the extra for something you can use on other things. Goodluck !
