I really like the EZ lock cutting discs. Note that there are only three of them included in this set, despite the colorful picture with all the possibilities.
Mainly cutting and smoothing. Maybe deburring cut pipes and studs with the sanders. For fine woodcraft, you'd likely need the flex extention and a bunch of wood bits.
Still useful. Used my dremmel to cut a 1/4×20 threaded rod for an air filter cover on a mower the other day.
Almost 140 of the 160 pcs are just sanding drums and sanding discs, only three(!) cutting discs?! I use cutting discs probably 5x more than anything else, that's a horrible ratio...for me at least, if you're sanding models or something this may work

Yeah, the cutoff wheels definitely get the most use, which is why the EZ Lock ones with the reinforced centers are must-haves.
Everything else in these kits can be purchased from a no-name company for way less and the quality will be roughly on par.
Side note: One way I've started to offset needing to buy a bunch of wheels in bulk is by making most of my plunge cuts with an oscillating multitool. The blades last longer and can get into some pretty tight spaces that the Dremel can't. If you still need the abrasive properties, sticky back sandpaper can be added to the face of the blade.

The EZ-Lock discs are at least 10x more durable than the cheapo ones. And sanding drums wear out very fast. The ratio is better than it might seem.
pc case mod, cut toothbrush end so it fits into the hole in the ceramic tile holder, woodwork detailing, cutting off rusted nails, trimming blinds, cutting copper pipes if you dont have a multi tool or ultramax saw, cutting out circles if you dont have a hole cutting bit, engraving, making cuts into sheet metal to form an escutcheon cover, cutting crown molding and pine window trim, if you dont have an ultramax or circular saw.
i use these bits with a variable speed black and decker rtx rotary tool that i've had for over a decade. you'll find uses for these bits over time. it has its uses for small projects where you dont want to whip out the big tools.

One of the best uses I've found is cutting screwdriver sized slots in stripped screws.
I assumed you meant cut the screw tip off, but I'm now thinking you mean carve a new slot into the top. That's a crazy idea. I wish I heard of that years' earlier.
I bought a 3-pack of all 3 popular Dremel tools and only ever used the rotary, a just a couple of times - to custom trim a roof rack for a vehicle. Just grinding discs to cut ends. It paid for itself for those little uses. Wish I was like others and used them all more, but not in their situations (sadly).

If a door in your house won't shut you can expand/grind the strike plate open a little larger with one of these.

Not to mention, there's not a lot of difference in the cheap sanding drums versus the Dremel branded ones.
