It is Dremel. Dremel is a name brand. Dremel thus, is most likely the most reliable dremel out there. What you are looking for is the generic name. A rotary tool. 20 dollars is going to get you a cheap ass, one speed, thing.

Wrong, there are other types of Dremel, not of that brand. Its like the kleanex tissue brand. There are other tissue brands, but everyone calls it a kleanex.

yes iz3r is right, but go with the original 'dremel'. i bought a cheap alternative and it came with dodgy attachments. everytime i tried cutting my dvd case the cutting wheels cracked and broke. Went and bought the official dremel cutting wheels and worked like a charm. and im still using the first wheel. cost me $19 AUD for a pack of 36 discs though, but its worth it.

if you dont want to get the official dremel rotary tool because of price. go for a respected brand like black and decker. like rafthunter said. most have a multispeed dial that go fast enough so you shouldnt have worry much about that.

You might want to consider getting a corded rotary tool, no matter what brand.  Grant it, the cordless ones work well, but for only a small amount of time.  You wouldn't want to have to keep stopping and recharging or swapping out batteries when you're doing complex work.  

I bought a cordless one and was dissatisfied with it, so I ended up buying a corded one.
