The dremel is great but it comes with the quick change keyless chuck. Normally that is a good thing but the brass stock will get notches from the three teeth that bite down on it. I picked up these collets to take care of that. You can also try these no name brass collets if you have the locking nut.
I have this tool. It has a speed control, so I turn it to slow (ish) for drilling. It has a flex shaft so you can hold the tool end a bit more like a pencil or brush when working. I've used it for cutting and sanding/filing as well as drilling.
I had to buy some extra collets to hold my smaller drill bits.
I will say however that most of what I use it on are metal models (I'm an old-hammerer) and like others have said a hand turned drill may be fine on plastics.
