Draper or Dremel Multi Tool?

The new Dremels aren't a patch on the old kit made 15 or 20 years ago.

I borrowed Father in Law's old Dremels to do various bits then bought a new generation one for myself.

It's not good!, started making a bit of a noise after a couple of uses and not long for this world.

They are just living off their previous good name as this is just cheap Chinese tat.

The Milwaulkee M12 would eat it for breakfast.

I've had a corded Dremel for 8 years, only light use. I've always found the various attachments hard to replace, they never go as tight as they should. Maybe I broke it. If used right, I'd go with the one that boasts the most powerful motor.

I'm wondering if Dremel has been bought by Mike Ashley or the Chinese to trade on the previous good name..

I think you'll be really disappointed if you spent £130 on one, the Milwaulkee was £120 (bare tool) and gets proper workshop use. You'd need a battery and charger though (probably £60 for 2ah battery and M12 charger).

Apparently Bosch own Dremel, bit of a poor show quality wise.

Cheap MEXICAN tat, if you don't mind!

I stand corrected!. I wonder why Bosch are having them knocked out in Mexico?.

We're the OG Dremels made in America?.
