You can also try Lowes. I always go a little overboard and buy the best model. I have this one with all the attachements:
4000 High Performance Rotary Tool / Model: 4000
A nice tool for small jobs and very versitile. For a multimeter Ikenvape.com has a nice one for $10.
Hongda DT95B Pocket DMM Volt Meter
Or you can get one at Lowes or HD when you are buying a Dremel. Hope that helps

I know they are not cheap but they do work well. Try Ebay maybe someone is selling one at less than retail. The Hongda DMM is a nice meter at a good price though and every vaper should have a DMM in their gear box. Best of luck and I hope the unemployment is short lived for you.
The Black & Decker RTX rotary tools offer good bang for the buck, compatible with standard Dremel-brand bits/accessories:

I have a couple of Dremel rotary tools, but not for sale.
There are some cheap rotary tools around. Don't know about the quality, but they're cheaper. Check Harbor Freight, and if you have a Big Lots around you, check in their tool section.
BTW, Walmart also has the Dremels.

I would say go pro for the same price, this is my setup for woodworking. I love the foot pedal for varied speed and I can hang it anywhere.

If it's over your budget you might check out grizzly's site direct and see what they have.
The upside to this set up is the motor your working with is 5x the size of a dremel and has a lot more power. Also it will most likely last 5x as long as a dremel's small compact size motor. I have gone through 2 different model dremels. There might be other repairs in the future such as the hand unit or flex shaft but so far so good for me. Not sure about the RPM difference between the units. For wood I was not concerned so you might have a look at that.
Budget wise you could also use the keywords "mini grinder" in google for some low budget alternatives such as these

Damn hotwheelz that kit costs about as much as a few Dremel bits. He could get the DMM and this kit for $20! Good find for someone looking to make $$$$ stretch.
Let me tell you... there is a harbor freight store about 4 miles from my house.. i love to go in there and just browse.... and i always come out with a bag full of stuff that I never knew i needed lol... great store... and descent tools... at great prices. Even better if you get it on sale.

No doubt a brick and morter store with dirt cheap prices to support our hobby. Who could ask for more??? Wait throw in the women from the Wiskey Avi's to work the counter and we have a new home!!!!!!
Harbor Freight Rocks! Agree with cskent above. I used to browse office supply stores, but they don't exist anymore.....not I find myself browsing Harbor Freight!
+2 for HF. OP sig shows they are from Boston and there is an HF there. I only buy tools from HF now. Doesn't hurt as bad when a battery takes a dump and I have to throw it away (can't bring myself to pay 60 bucks for a battery for a tool kit that cost 75 bucks to start with). The local cake supply (for Loranes flavorings) is next door to the HF.
