Sorry!
Naahhh, no, I'm not sorry!!! <ggg>
Really, in all seriousness, I have to spread the word.
I am a real, real, tool guy. I LOVE my tools. I use them hard,
professionally, quite a bit. (contractor)
I can recognize a good tool, and hate a bad one.
THIS has become my favorite new tool. I use it constantly, for cutting
missed nails while building cabinets. I sharpen tools with them. I
engrave
new tools with my markings. I shape wood with them, and sometimes cut
steel
to make jigs for other tools to shape wood. The imagination is the only
limit as to the different things you can do with this baby.
I have had a few plug in dremmel tools, and always thought they were about
half way to junk, but there was nothing better, for quite some time. I
have
had problems with loose bearings, and bad switches, and crappy chucks.
This tool has no cords needed, and I don't miss the cord, at all. No
sacrifice in power, and seldom need more battery duration to complete a
task. The bearings have not been a problem yet, and the chuck has not
slipped or stripped, and the switch is still doing all of its variable
speed
tasks without fail or glitch.
I have had one problem. Nobody knows how to make a router or dermal or
rotary tool shaft lock that will hold up to my standards of tightening a
bit
in the chuck. I HATE to have a bit vibrate loose and ruin what I am
working
on before I realize that it has slipped, so I tighten them down HARD.
This
shaft lock could not take it, and broke.
I removed it, but came up with a pretty simple work around. You have to
have a new bit in your hand that you are going to install, since you are
switching bits. Shove the end of the new bit into the shaft lock hole,
and
loosen the bit. Use the bit that came out to lock the shaft while
installing the new bit. Not ideal, but it works.
As a model maker, you OWE it to yourself to get one of these things. It
is
ideal, and it will become your favorite new tool, too!
So again, not sorry. Git you one!
