  • I have one that is Craftsman (NA) branded but is made by Dremel.
    Mine is 138 watts (I think - watts are voltage x amps, yeah?) and I've cut much harder/bigger things than I should and it shows no sign of slowing down. It is at least 15 years old though and made in Usonia if that makes any difference.
    I would stick to a respected brand and get a variable speed unit.

  • watts are voltage x amps, yeah?

    ...ish. With AC, that's only true if the voltage and current are perfectly in phase.

    Power = cos φ × voltage × current

    Where φ is the phase angle between the voltage and the current.
