I have a air one and use the speed click cutting discs. Good for cutting out small rust patches. Sometimes a grinder or cut of wheel is to big for small rust holes.
Definitely worth having a dremel just for this.

I've been using Dremels for yonks. Only killed one in about 15 years. I use it mostly for small grinding and sanding jobs and with wire wheel attachments to clean rusty bits and bobs. The wire wheels don't last but have been invaluable for cleaning rust off nuts and bolts. I've also used it for routing small cavities for inlaying in wood. Brilliant bit of kit.

I use mine with the flexi wand and a cut off bit which takes 32mm fibre cut off discs. It’s been an essential tool for my ongoing 93 Cooper resto.

On my Christmas list, a great tool for cleaning up small areas and removing rus in awkward places.
