Dremel tools are awesome. I cant count the times that I have used one to complete a project.

I use mine for something on just about all the hobbies that I have. Cars, guns, computers, etc, etc. Not even to mention actual work around the house. They are good for just about everything I can think of, lol.

Quoted: Dremel is my next item to procure. How much money am I looking at here? There is a wide range... Ive seen them anywhere between 39.99 up to 100.00 just depends on the accessories you get with it... I got the variable speed with a bunch of cutting, grinding, polishing, cutting and drill bits for 39.99 The one thing I miss is the wire brush wheel...going to Home Depot tomorrow and buying a few. |

Owning a Dremel is a sober responsibility, use it wisely. (In other words, you can really screw up a firearm with one if you get carried away!!)
I just replaced my old Dremel, which just plain wore out. I bought it in 1969! Probably over 90% of the time I’m using it, I’m using the cut off disks. They’re great. Quoted: Dremel is my next item to procure. How much money am I looking at here? Here’s the new one I got from Home Depot (assuming the link will work!): Edited to add that the link won't work! If your interested, go to [url]www.homedepot.com[/url], go to the tool section, do a search after checking the “SKU” radio button, and search for 755028 |

199, before you toss the old Dremel check it to make sure you don't just new brushes in it.mine is 4 years old and I had to change them once. I use it a lot!

Quoted: ... Now you made my wife mad because I have to spend more money ... Simply explain all the wonderful things you can do [b]for her[/b] with those accessories and how in the long run you’ll actually be saving all sorts of money. Of course, she’s probably heard all that from you before! [:D] Quoted: 199, before you toss the old Dremel check it to make sure you don't just new brushes in it.mine is 4 years old and I had to change them once. I use it a lot! Thanks for the suggestion. However, I’ve changed the brushes several times. I’m pretty sure the bearings were shot. Again, this thing was 33 years old (and “rode hard and put up wet”). |

Does anybody have a Dremel link that DOESN'T wake up Doctor Watson the Worthless Antivirus Program? It shuts down every other IE window up.
Holy Hell, I swear eternal hatred upon Doc Watson till my last phlegm filled breath! May Doc Watson rest in many charred and dishonored pieces. |

Quoted: Owning a Dremel is a sober responsibility, use it wisely. (In other words, you can really screw up a firearm with one if you get carried away!!) So true! My only complaint is that the direction of rotation is not switchable. THAT would be nice. As it is now, I must hold the Dremel in my left hand because if I grasp it with my right hand, grinding/sanding debris flys into my face. Anybody got a fix? |

gotta love the dremel.....after coming to the conclusion that I NEEDED one about a year ago, I've used it on too many things to count.
Only complaint I've got -- the darned thing spins the wrong way for right-handed people when using the cutoff disks (alwasy throws sparks/dust/particles right in my face) but it has to in order to use drill bits [:(] Someone should invent a dremel-type tool with a "foward" AND a "reverse" mode -- that would kick A$$.....unfortunately, I don't know enough about that to do it without those pesky patent infrengments.....so if anyone wants to, go ahead, just send me a free one [:D] FOTBR |
