I just cleaned the battery terminals on my roommate's T-Bird with mine.

Works real good for trimming the urethane bumpers. You can also put a bit on the end and scrawl your name on a door so everyone knows who's it is.

you can use it to cut the trans tunnel when you do an A4 to M6 swap.

I used mine to cut the dowel pin on my new comp cam which was too long for my unvented opti.

As you can see it has a million and one uses.
Keep a good supply of cut off wheels and grinding bits and it will always come in handy.
Just cause you went out and bought one does not mean you have to use it right away, its nice to have around when you run into a tight spot and you get stuck and then you can say " Hey I bet my dremel would help me with this job" mine has been a lifesaver on several occasions.
I plan on sanding off some surface rust on my undercarriage this winter and my dremel will be perfect for the job.
It makes a great polisher as well.
