Well, so that you can build models! Wouldn't go out of the way to get one of these, but if I see one in my travels, it just might get snapped up. Looks like a bit of fun.

I have one of those. It's useful for modeling: it's much lighter than a normal drill.
On mine, the spring that pushes the trigger out is not strong enough so the trigger tends to stick.

I was seriously looking at getting one of those mini drills ..then I saw the price and went "nope" .
I'll stick with my pin vices .

That actually could be handy. The pin vise can be too slow especially when drilling many holes and the dremel spins too fast and melts the plastic. A small variable speed would be nice.

Normlly I would say the same, but the arthrtis in my wrists is getting a bit too painful.

I am having good results with a battery screwdriver and a 3-jaw chuck attachment:

But I have seen them for cheaper.

Yes Sir I can respect that ..a issue I'm sure I've got developing in two of my fingers on my left hand .
If it didn't cost $60nz I'd have one by now I can tell ya.

Great idea!
I have an electric screw driver but the mini chuck would be perfect.

I have an ancient 12 volt drill.  It gets connected to a 00 gauge railway variable transformer and still (after 55 years) does the job adequately.

As to the  question  "Why build a model?"   I have three possible answers:-

A) because it's there

B) because it's fun

C)  can anyone offer me a good reason why not?

Or any combination of the above.
I like the way you think, Sir!   

D) Because the wings are too short.

Talking about mini drills and wanting one...I did mention that I'd like to get one of those which Dave posted but price and availability here so I said I'd stick to my pin vices ..well not any more ..so to speck .
My mate Smiley didn't like this cordless drill of his so he was gonna chuck it..I asked him and yep it's now mine ..it's a fecking Dremel Lite and I've got the pistol grip handle for a Dremel and I'm wondering if it will fit it...just gotta find it 🤔 😁

Good score, Phill - as I've said before, "One persons' junk..."
