Tools Carvers Use - Tiki Carving

The Ryobi looks a little awkward to handle and not so easy to get into those tough little nooks & crannies and odd angles that always come up. The nice thing about flex shaft type tools is that you can use them to run burrs and all kinds of other spinning tools (both 1/8" and 1/4" drive), then pull off the handpiece and do a quick change to a Wecheer (or other) reciprocating chisel handpiece. If I could only have one power tool that would be it because of its versatility.
