I always think to myself, "damn a dremel tool would be handy here" and I never bought one.

Which brand/model is the best one?

just buy a dremel then

Depends on the kind of work it will be doing.

Light stuff you can just get dremel brand or some cheap knockoff.

If your gonna need heavy duty get a die grinder tool or something (Milwaukee, Makita, dewalt, ect.)

I got a cheapo knockoff from harbor freight and it SUCKED.

Then I got a dremel lite and it’s probably one of my most used tools. I like the smaller lighter form for stuff I use it for. I have a corded dewalt grinder if I need to really grind something big but I rarely rarely have to use that.

Dremel.

I didn't think I'd use it enough, so I just bought the cut and sanding wheels I needed for my impact driver. Works nice.

Foredom makes the best dremel.

Proxxon also makes a good dremel.

BUT if you don't think you will be using it a lot, just get a 12v Dremel. This is the 8220. I have the 8200 and its pretty good.

I actually like the old 7.2v Stylus model that they no longer make for hobby work. It was a pistol grip model and the ergonomics were fantastic for detail work. Sucks they no longer make it. If you search amazon, they still have Stylus knockoff models in the same form factor. 7.2v doesn't have the power of 12v though, but again, it was for small hobby work.

^Also this. Dremel is for light/hobby work. Die grinder for heavier jobs.

reped.

Dremel. And their brand attachments. The Chinese garbage blades and sanding disks literally just turn to dust

I have a Bauer one from Harbor Freight. It was cheap/on sale and works. Think I paid $30. If you use it a ton you can always buy a nicer one later.

Milwaukee probably is one of the best like most tools.

which one did you get from HF? The Bauer is good. Warrior and Chicago Electric can be rough, but you also probably paid $10 if you got one of those.

Thanks. The 12v Dremel is probably the best overall option. You can also get the flex shaft for better one-handed control.

The Keyless chuck is a must have. Keep the little collet wrench that comes with the dremel, as I still use that wrench to tighten down the keyless chuck.

^This too. Dremel bits are higher quality than the Chinese bundles they sell for cheap on amazon. The best way to get your bit collection going is to buy these kits they make, as opposed to buying them one by one. Usually Home Depot and Lowes have different kinds of kits on sale sometimes.

i've had a battery powered dremel for like 15 years now. it's served me well over the years, from car repairs to diy to home improvement projects.

i bought a spare battery for it and that's about it.
