I've been thinking about getting a dremel tool to detail my polished aluminum wheels and possibly tackling the valve cover on my engine. :eek: Here are a few brands from Lowe's I've been looking at. Any advice on these or a different brand? Dremel Tools



Any comments would be appreciated.:up
 
I've got a couple of Dremel brand tools. I have both cordered and cordless models. I think buying Dremel makes sense when you take a look at all of the accessories available to fit "their" models. I've used their router, cable drive and circular cutting tools. They all work great.
 
Thanks for the replies fellas. I went to Lowe's after work today and they have another cordless dremel for $49.95 with 6 variable speed and pretty good assortment of fitments. I just need the cordless because I don't have a garage.:up
 
I'm really interested in this thread. I bought one of the high-end Dremel tools with gazillions of attachments. So far, I haven't found any discussions that are focused on car-detailing applications. I've tried it on various problems, with varying success, and would love to hear you folks talk specifically about where/how you used it, with which attachments, etc. This is a tool in my arsenal that I fervently believe can serve me better than it has so far.
 
I'd like to mention some things about the cutting tool. The standard cutting discs aren't very good. They tend to want to jump around on you when you're cutting metal, plastic, or wood, causing them to break. You can get fiberglass reinforced cutting discs, but a pack of 3 discs is around $10.



Also, when polishing metal with the cloth attachments, be careful around textured areas. It is very easy to ruin the attachments this way.
