While I do have a single-speed Dremel, I prefer my JobMate, with a flexible shaft. It's a bit larger than a Dremel, and has a variable speed control, and the flexible shaft is great for cutting rail gaps. I use it a lot, and have had it for over 10 years.
I got mine at Canadian Tire, although the one shown doesn't appear to have the flexible shaft. If you think it might be useful, by all means buy it, too....I have the tool hanging on a holder (comes with the flex shaft, I think) over my work bench, and almost always use the flexshaft, as it's easy to manipulate and weighs almost nothing. I believe you also get 2 or 3 collets with the tool, which will accept drill bits and attachments with various shaft diameters, including stuff from Dremel.
