Dremmels

[justleftlife]

I am looking at getting a dremmel tool. I want one what i can kinda use as a "solves all" i really dont have much money to spend and i still building the computer... but its on my list of crap to do! (which gets bigger everyday!)


So amy suggestions on what i should do would be helpful thanks!

ok well...you have any idea of which one you want...if not i would suggest heading down to the local hardware store and pick one up for $30 or so...i'm from Canada so it might be cheaper for you..."cheaper" but whatever they are not that expensive for a tool as good as a dremel
Any other questions go ahead and throw them out though...that's usually what we are here for

I just picked up the Sears Rotory tool acouple weeks ago. While I'm still evaluating it, it's a good tool. I think it was like $80 us, but it came with the flex shaft, circle cutter, router coller, and a nice selection of bits. It seems to have plenty of power (more than my Dremmel Multi speed, but less then my Roybi rotory tool). The reason I got this one was the flex shaft, it's very nice it allows you to get into places that the full size unit would never fit, and saves your hand from all the vibration.

What ever you get stay away from the cordless ones....unless you like waiting more the working, they have a short run time and a long charge time.

I made a thread and lots of cool people replied (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2084&page=2) in the tools sections. I looked on eBay and some seemed to be quite affordable and good quality.

I saw a pretty cheap knock off at Northern Tool the other day for about $20. It had a nice selection of bits and ends, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. It might have been at Harbor Freight, I cant quite remember... Either way cheap knock off you can geta bout $20.
