discussion Dspiae Orbit mini Drill/ Screwdriver (cordless USB)

Just picked one of these up, looks a nice bit of kit, very well made, good quality.
Here's a link to a short first impressions type video, see linky:

Its slow speed is great for the type of plastic we use in scale modelling, so it will not heat up and will not melt the plastic, which is the main problem with "normal" type drills, Dremells, etc.
Also has reversible drill, so can screw in or screw out as required.
Comes with two bit holders and there is an optional screwdriver set available too.

Quick update on this, I just checked using some of my Dremel clone bits, that the collet on this Orbit drill will fit most Dremel type attachments, as it looks like it over 3mm, (possibly 3.1 or 3.2mm).
However, as its quite low speed, (box says 240rpm without load) its probably not gonna be much use for most dremel type attachments, maybe a few of the fine sanding ones, where you probably don't want it to go too fast anyway.
Works fine as a mini drill and screwdriver though.
