Best dremel tool online?

[TomD]

I need to hack something up and I have not invested in a dremel yet.

Any places you like to buy a not to expensive one online??

I saw one on Mjmods.com but it is to cheap so I can't imagine it working long.


Thanks

Browsing the net there are a lot of different kinds and I don't want to waste money on this. Cordless, cord--different kits ?


How about these:

Tom, if I were you, I would go for the real Dremel.
You might pay a little more but you will be happy with it. The cordless Dremel is a waist of money, the battery doesn't last enough to hack a colony. just my 0.02 cents

Oh you mean the actual brand name "Dremel?" I did not know. Thanks.

I am going to check it out. I have a favia I got from someone that was in bad shape. The middle portion is turning from brown and starting to puff up but the right corner is doing a kind of RTN on me. I know I will need this tool many times anyhow so I want to get a good one.

Gustavo is this a real Dremel? It is not that much?

that is the one, the price difference between to rotorzip and Dremel is not that much, but I think Dremel is a better tool for us.

 

[TomD]

Thank you so much...disregard last pm. I should have been more patient!!!

Make sure that whatever one you get has varying speeds. I also find the tip extender to be a useful tool.

Thanks Josh, good info.

BTW, I have the Dremel 400 Series XPR, HD has it with something like 70 extra staff for like $99

I agree with Home Depot, that's where I got mine. They have different combos with different prices.

Totally agree. The Cordless isnt worth the plastic its made of.

That being said, the craftsman models are just rebadged dremels, so if you want to save a couple bucks, you can do that.

Hey guys,
I just bought the Dremel kit for $89 from Lowes. Unfortuantely, it does not come with the diamond tip blade. You have to purchase this separately for $14.00. Can't wait to try it.

Thanks... I should be all set then!

Fanagle I think that one is fine.

What about salt water getting on these? Don't they break quick?

Anyway to protect it from the water?

Also, I have never used one before so are there certain bits that will cut through rock better?
