We bought a £25 job off ebay, for the occasional job it is fine, buy the bits in packs separately.

For that sort of money it is a consumable.

Did the same but with a Draper one. Useful to have about when access is tight, but only used 2 - 3 times in last 2 years
Got a proper dremmel, tbh, can't see why a cheap one wouldn't do the same job, it's just a motor at the end of the day.
Use it more for other stuff than on the landy, but, it is useful to have around, you'll be doing a job and hit a problem and out comes the dremmel, though it does eat cutting discs!

Ha,
Needed to replace the exhaust downpipe on my D2 for which you need to remove the gearbox crossmember. all 8 bolts corroded and not movable with sockets / spanners. Had to cut them off with a dremel, couldnt get normal 4 1/2 angle grinder near them. Took f***ing ages and loads of cutting discs, but job done, got me out of a fix!

I prefer these to the Dremel, more comfortable to hold and takes any amount of abuse, think I've had mine for about 10yrs now..

IMo no. Toy tool.
Been through 2 dremels - since bought a makita die grinder. As well as having multiple colllets for different tool heads it also has an important thing called torque it doesnt just Tickle the workpiece.
Picked up an air die grinder when i got a compressor and its even better again !
I wouldnt buy a dremel or a copy again.
The flexy heads are good though

Thanks for the info. I ended up spending all my money a Milwaukee drill and impact driver so will have to wait.

Milwaukee do a cordless rotary tool so you could use your batteries and buy the tool body only.
I've got one on my list to get along with the 3/8 impact ratchet

Oh really! thanks for the heads up. I'm down with any opportunity to expand my Milwaukee collection and drain my bank balance.
