I've got a dremel but am NOT impressed. It was from Aldi and is actually made by Wolfe so for all it isn't an pusser Dremel is isn't cheapo rubbish either.
It just doesn't seem capable of doing much as the different tools seem to have a life-span of minutes, at best. The wire brushes quickly shed their bristles, the sanding drums overheat and melt the glue and I've never managed to get the milling cutters to cut anything, burn it sometimes but cut never.
The cutting discs are about the only thing I use, apart from drilling the holes in PCBs.
I wouldn't say I regret buying it but doubt I'd bother to replace it. To be honest it's this that puts me off the type of multi-tool under discussion in this thread as it seems like a similar panacera. I look forward to hearing how it performs, Col. You're also most welcome to have a look at and a play with my dremel - waits for remarks about Governesses and Under-Gardeners from Alan.
