Detroit Tools

[Dwight]

Looking at the tool . . . . and the price . . . . I'd run from it.

My 20 yr old Dremel is still working . . . does not work as good as it did back then . . . but I doubt if the Detroit will last that long.

And my Dremel tool alone was almost twice that price.

Best wishes . . . may God bless,

It was a ' Rockwell', same as Detroit...etc etc etc . 

This is one of those ' it'll only get used occasionally and stay in the case most of the time ' tools . Didn't see the need to fork out $$$ for an ex$y tool that gets used rarely. But will try to get some better accessories on Friday....fingers crossed. 

Going off topic a bit, I have 'cheap'  GMC tools that have lasted many years and have never failed ( touch wood)  

You can see the aforementioned horse shoes, just to the right of the nice .....mmmm.......yummy .... icy..... cold beer in the pic.....I had buttered crumpets for lunch too, hence the beer

i have two Dremel's and one off brand, one Dremel approx. 35 years old single speed but still runs fine, the ten speed Dremel not used much, my off brand motor , bought at wallymart, is used a lot , it is variable with the cable extension and about ten years old now. BUT i use Dremel bits and all Dremel discs and such. As i posted on another thread about power tools a cheap motor will run good bits a long time but cheap bits will kill a good motor quickly. If you are money tight you can use a cheaper motor but spend wisely on the bits and accessories and buy quality.

Went to our hardware chain for better quality accessories,  no luck . Sure they had individual  Dremel bits 'n' pieces, but not the ones I wanted, lots of empty hooks though . 

I'll keep looking, I'll end up going on line no doubt.
