OK Dremmel

[All U Get]

Hi all,
A while ago I mentioned working on my boat with a Dremmel 400 XPR which failed after short use. I Emailed Dremmel and sent them the tool for evaluation. We received a box saying that it was fixed, but the tool inside was a new Dremmel 4000 and a complimentary buffing wheel. That's like returning a Toyota and getting a Lexus. Thank you Dremmel.

Sweet! Every once in while, there's a bright spot.

I guess that I have expected too much from a Dremmel tool as I have distroyed three of them. But I have a DeWalt rotary tool, that could be a Dremmel on steroids, that takes all the work I put to it in stride and keeps going. Now it is not as nimble as the Dremmel tool but it gets the jobs done.

i still have and use my original varaible speed Dremel. must be 30 ish years old.

Dremmel changed battery styles on my cordless rotary. They gave me a very good credit to upgrade...but the new batteries don't hold a charge worth a damn. It was a downgrade, not an upgrade.

My Dremel is one of the most indespensible tools on my boat. I had mine for 25 years of constant use before it crashed. Dremel could not fix the old one but sold me a new style reconditioned variable speed for under $30. Great product and customer service. Ron

Got mine a few years ago and the variable speed control took a dump about a year later. Then it quit all together. I replaced it with a Black & Decker that has been a workhorse every since at half the price. The B&D is slightly larger but it works great. Three folks I know have had issues with Dremmel. I wont buy another.
