Quality of tools these days

I spend time buying a tool making sure it is the one I need and one that will last.  Nothing I hate more than having to buy a tool again because the first one was not to the quality level I expected.  I realize that is different from the world today as most people want cheap no matter what.

Around 6 months ago or so I purchase a Dremel rotary tool for the office for some work we had to do.  I did not go and buy the cheapest one they had.  I bought the best tool I could get at the time, and even bought a kit with a better tool but less accessories and had to purchase some accessories extra that I required for the job we needed it to do.

Well here it is 6 months later, without heavy use or abuse, and the tool is dying on us already.  The shell is coming apart and the motor wont turn when it does.  A little tape fixed the issue, but really, does this tool have to be this crappy?
