My Dremel Has Given Up......

Have a look on Machine Mart, they do Dremel and alternatives. Probably Screwfix and Toolstation too!

 

I bought a Dremel a few years ago as there didn't appear to be any alternative. 'German quality' said the salesman. He was somewhat taken aback when I returned the burnt out tool the next day.
Now there are lots of much cheaper alternatives on ebay and amazon. I also found the Dremel tools to be obscenely expensive, and they do wear out quickly.

 

The rotar brushes on the motor can and do wear out. A few bucks to replace them. Easy to inspect

 

Best one I’ve found was a sealey one in a good case too from eBay with a larger watt motor

 

Got a link mate?

 

No it was two years ago when mine turned up

 

One of
Sealey E5188 Multi-Purpose Rotary Tool & Engraver Kit 219pc 230V

 

My Dremel bit the dust pretty quick. Didn’t bother getting another waste of money

I was going to buy a Dremel just last week, due to availability of the one I wanted ended up having a look at the alternatives.
As a post above I got one of these

Done a couple of jobs, it's a good piece of kit and glad i didnt go to the expense of a Dremel branded item

 

Mine did exactly the same.

Overly expensive for what they are... Currently using a rechargeable one from Lidl, for £19. Already lasted longer than the dremel!

 

I bought one last night 7/8 into a bottle of red ffs

 

A sealey perhaps or didn’t the manufacturer matter hic hic ?

 

Yeah the sealey I posted
