Today’s Dremel tools, which one is right for me?

Dremel tools are made in America and have been a household name for generations. They have a reputation for being high-quality, versatile tools and have been popular with homeowners and hobbyists since the first Dremel rotary tool was introduced over 75 years ago.

The Dremel company has continually refined and perfected its products and now offers a line of rotary tools designed for a wide range of hobby and home projects. Many companies also find Dremel tools a great asset to complement their standard size saws, routers, and sanders.

Choosing the Right Dremel Tool

The right Dremel tool for you will depend on the types of projects you want to do. So to start the selection process, think about what you want to do with the tool. Then try to imagine yourself completing one of your projects using the tool you are considering. It feels good? Then you need to evaluate the accessories that come with the tool. Are all the bits you’ll need included? You should also check if there is a kit that will save you money. Kits often contain more parts and accessories than you think you’ll need. But believe me, no matter which of the Dremel tools you choose, you’ll soon find that your Dremel tool is even more useful than you imagined. There are over 200 attachments and accessories available making every Dremel tool extremely versatile.

While not all Dremel attachments and accessories can be added to or used with all Dremel tools, there is always a variety of bits available for each tool. Drill bits for cutting woods, metals and plastics and for grinding, sanding, polishing and routing. There are accessories to cut circles, to cut straight edges, to sharpen chainsaws, to file your dog’s nails and even to carve pumpkins. Then there are a host of accessories such as a flexible shaft attachment, multi-purpose vise, project table, and multi-function workstation to name a few. What can be done with a Dremel tool? The possibilities are endless.
