Tools: Drills, Dremels, Routers & Bits

Maybe a dumb question, but if I have an electric drill, is there a good
reason why I can't put various bits in it other than drill bits? For example those little sanding or cutting accessories that go with Dremels or even router bits? I assume those other tools have different speeds or maybe even better speed control, which could be an issue, but since the drill bit holder is adjustable, I don't see why it couldn't hold them safely.

Patsy (ducking in case what I'm suggesting is totally stupid and dangerous just to avoid spending money on more tools)
