The only things I wouldn't cheap out on are the cut off wheels.

Spend the money for the Dremel EZ-LOCK mandrel (or buy the pet nail trimming kit which comes with it).

Even Dremel's cut off wheels break eventually, but the EZ-LOCK wheels are reinforced in the middle so they don't break as often. And when they do, they're much easier to change.

For all the diamond, sanding, and polishing bits, the difference in name brand versus generic is much less of an issue.
The 320 piece kit is about $1 cheaper. Seems like a better deal.

You do know the mandrel size is standardized among all rotary tools, right? You don't need to buy a Dremel to use their bits.

I'm specifically talking about the cut off wheels with EZ-Lock, which are still better than any other wheel on the market.

For everything else — including the rotary tool itself — there is zero reason to go with Dremel over any other brand.

Anyone with experience using both cheap rotary tools like these Wen sets as well as pricier ones from Dremel etc? I'm super torn on going for nicer or just trying out the cheap stuff to start.

The only caveat is that recent Dremel rotary tools have a steep decline in reliability.
So much so that the Black and Decker RTX is often recommended instead of the Dremel.

Hopefully, their accessories haven't suffered the same fate.

282 pieces sounds like a lot until you realize 202 of those are in just these 4 items...
32 spindle sanding bands, 60 sandpapers, 80 cut-off wheels, 30 heavy-duty cut-off wheels.

Can't comment on the quality of this set, but most of the items in this set I don't use.

I'd be happy with a discounted assortment subset that had just various cut-off wheels and a couple of spare mandrels. Bonus points if the cut-off wheels didn't shatter every 30 seconds.

I love and hate the ez lock cutoff wheels. I've had issues with the metal at the center of the wheel coming apart so the wheel isn't connected to the hub.
Last time I used them, I had 3-4 in the pack that only could use about 1/4 of the wheel.
Love the wheels, definitely better than alternatives, but seems the old screw on were more reliable. 🤷 ♂️

Couldn't agree more. The cutoff wheels are what I use 99% of the time. The rest, especially the polishing stuff, has never come out of the box. I guess it depends on your use case.

Thanks! The 327 piece kit is the best deal in my opinion. For only 33 cents more than the 282-piece, there's a lot fewer cut off wheels and a lot more higher-value pieces. Use the same link and click on the 327-piece option for full details.
