Local big boxes sell them for about $10 if you're near one.
I have this one and for the price works well

get a noga or vargus (maybe same company) and don't look back. I got a couple maybe 15 years ago and the holders are still near perfect.
the v-shaped blades are great for deburring both sides at once on thin metal. there are maybe 100 styles of blades. msc catalog has (had?) some good info on how to pick and choose...

I have multiple, and find them all to be useful. I would recommend getting
"standard" size deburr tool (Like the Empire ones they sell at Sears, that blade size is one of the most common)
Mini (Like Stephen's. I have one of those as well, works nice for smaller tasks.)
Countersink (Noga is my favorite choice here)
Scraper (Plain HSS should work for you, carbide is very pricey.)
As for companies.... Noga/Vargus, Shaviv, and well those are about it as far as a really good quality product with a wide selection of styles and blades.
Also, it pays to get good blades for them. I deburr Inconel, Monel, Waspalloy, titanium, Rene, and other superalloys all the time at work.. it's about all we use for parts.. It kills the cheaper blades very fast. Even the regular stainless steels we sometimes get are hard on the blades, so don't be too frugal with the replacement blades.

Shaviv is Vargus, also there is Royal, which (at least the one I have) is made by Noga. I have a dozen or more handles and there are 2 primary sizes for the swivel blades. The blades are 0.10" diameter and 0.125" diameter. The Vargus handle shown by Linh allows you to use different shafts in the body, which allows the use of many more deburring attachments.
You will find that the handles are cheap compared to the various scrapers, countersinks, edging tools and other items that go into them.

Yep Menards has them, gotta find them in a different section. I forget where though, maybe by the HVAC tools or something.

Shaviv (Vargus) is in Israel, as is NOGA, the other main deburring tool manufacturer. You can also find China knockoff.

Vargus.
But one word of caution........Safety!!!! Buy extra blades and if you are deburring steel quite a bit, swap the blades out often. Even though the blade may look sharp, it will break in the hook where it is sharpened. We have had so many people at work run the broken blade into their wrist and up their arm because of that.
If you are deburring a tube, you are going clockwise holding the tube in your left hand and the Vargus in your right hand. Once you start and get around to 6:00 on the tube that is when the blade will snap. I've seen it done hundreds of times over the years and many had to go to the hospital to be stitched up.
