Both my Dremel and my wife are like my old car... on a cold morning no matter how badly I need it it won't turn over.

They are much better, but 10x as expensive, and dont last very long.
In reality, its far better & cheaper to use an alternative to the dremel when cutting metal.. such as a drill/press+large fiberglass wheel, grinder, metal cutting bandsaw..etc.

I had a really hard time using a bandsaw to cut a new slot in a stripped screwhead last week. I mean, it just sucked all sorts of balls.

I tried it with a plasma cutter. Equally tough.
Really, the dremel is excellent at what it's made for. Tiny work. If you're doing things that are causing discs to explode, rethink the tool in use.
ChadTower:
It is true that the cheap disc cutters break easily. It's like rigid sandpaper, though, so don't expect much out of it. Leaning a little too hard on it breaks it. Giving it too much angle breaks it. Catching a burr on the workpiece breaks it. That's why they come in quantity.
