I bought one of these super-cheapo rotary tools with the cable drive ,
Mine is this one , I paid 19 bucks for the kit ( shown down at the bottom of the page ) that comes with the flex-shaft .
Looks like they're not offering that kit currently :

It's fine for low RPM work with the flex-shaft , but that's all I needed from it .
Reviewers were complaining of overheating of the flex-shaft ( and failure , but who knows what they were doing ) - so I immediately super-greased the flex-line upon arrival , with " Moly-Graph " extreme pressure grease so no problems for me .
Amazon Prime has a few other kits near that price range .
I have a little Dremel but the flex-shafts for it are more than that whole kit above .
