    Bought a Dremel

    So I picked up a Dremel 4000 for a job I'm doing on the electric steering lock, I need to remove two fracture bolts & they are in an obscure location underneath the dash. (Currently 20% off in Woodies)

    Once I get that out of the way I'll be dreaming up new jobs to make the best use of the gadget. So has anyone got some interesting things they've used the dremel for?

    So many times I've come across a situation where a dremel would be a huge time saver but never got around to buying one.

    I have an aldi cordless one and its shit, it'd be a lot better if it was 230v. Mad handy wee yoke.

    I have one there very useful if you have the right fittings however the speed controller has gone in it after only being used a handful of times. Looking online it seems to be a common fault. I keep meaning to find an alternative manufacturer and pick up a replacement.

    Keep the suggestions coming. I went for the 230V one as I had a bad experience with a Makita battery operated drill. Batteries died due to not being charged.
