It depends, of course, on the budget.  I classify my Fordham leagues above anything else, but they cost a bunch.  I use my flex shaft units many times daily and keep my Dremel 232-S set up with a router base almost 24 -7.  The Fordham I use for switching cutters and other grinders because mine is a chuck setup instead of a collet.
I will say this, I'll put my Dremel 232-S up against any brand at any time for any use.  Mine is 10 years old and has suffered daily abuse by my hand with hardwoods and metal almost daily.

I have used (to death) two Dremels with ball bearings, so last one (long time ago), I bought a sleeve bearing version. My theory was that at that sort of rpm, ball bearings are spinning too fast. Or possibly, the dust and stuff didn't agree with ball bearings. Further, tho there are now cordless and integral variable speed versions, I prefer 110v. and the separate speed control. JMHO.  H^^ Steve

Ryobi doesn't list that kind of tool.  Do you have a part or model # ?  Do you remember when you bought it?

Hi Dick
I guess they stopped making them...I have two, 15 or so years old....the difference between them and a Dremel is like the difference between a Honda and a Harley....
Have fun

I've tried some of the "other" brands, and end up coming back to Dremel...plus, they actually have a service department to talk to. Hard to beat the Dremel, IMHO.

Gil, don't know about the other stuff, but I've been running the same  Sears version of the Dremel for about (25) yrs. with no problems. I use it at least 2-3 times a week doing everything from modeling, to cutting sheet rock- ceramics- grout- buffing /polishing, plumbing, and a number of times cutting auto exhaust pipe in hard to access areas, gaulded nuts/bolts, etc. It has been used and abused, but still keeps on going. The new ones may not be as good, but what is now,  with everything made in China, Mexico, etc.

So why don't you like Hondas? LL~ LL~  BTW, I have two Dremels (both corded) and one Harley . . . happy with both.

I'll stick with the Dremel tool.  I had one for 20 years, and the bearings finally gave out.  Called Dremel for repair parts, and they said "send it in".  I got back a brand new Dremel!  What kind of service is that?

I have had my Fordham since 1973. I used it a lot every day when I was in the camera repair business. After all these years the foot control has gone bad so I need to get a new solid state model foot control.
