Where can I get a cheap Dremel type tool?

Not necessarily a Dremel but anything similar. I need to wire wheel something.

 

I'll bet Liddel do one! lol

 

got a B&Q own brand, been ok, had it for a couple of years

 

They can be real rubbish though. I tried the rubbish, then bought a Dremel.

Dremel are owned by Bosch, hence you cannot go wrong (well, IMO).

 

Do a search under my username I put a post up not log ago the cheap ones aint worth it

 

although tbh dremels arnt that good, ive burnt out 2 of them just cutting out 3mm perspex to make models with for uni. but as theyre owned by bosch you get bosch customer service so they replace them for free

The minicraft/Proxxon tools are also great, but not much cheaper than a dremel tho.

 

Well spotted

 

I once bought a cheap one and it just stopped when ever i touched it to something.

 

why not just use a drill and wire wheel ???

or is it something a bit more precise that you need to do ???

 

i was making a previously unmade point about the quality of bosch customer service? wtf?

 

Machine mart do a nice one for about 30 and you get an attachment kind of like a speedo cable with a pencil grip chuck on it great for really fidly bits. Managed to do 2 cylinder heads with my first one but i would not use them for extended periods as once they get really hot thats when they tend to break. Hope this helps.

 

lawsons HIS 30 dremel 300

 

If you say so.

Many here would have worded it: "But as theyre owned by Bosch, as Chris mentioned, you get bosch customer service so they replace them for free2"

Just out of courtesy of course.

 

Have one from machine mart also. It's served me quite well.

 

Dremels are brilliant. Easy to use. Dont bother buying anything cheaper. You can always find great deals for a dremel

 

B&Q have a deal on. You get a dremel, a flex shaft and lots of other stuff for 40! Reduced from 50. The flex shaft is over 30 normally.

talk about pedantic!!!!

 

The older non LI-Ion cordless one is also worth a look, even second hand on eBay... my battery recently died after a few years work and i went to get a replacement - 13 from B&Q so i actually bought 2!

Can't go wrong for 15 for occasional use I don't think, & the 3 year guarantee is a bonus! Bought one a couple of years back & it's been fine

This is good value too:
