Dremel after 20 years has given up..

[stuss]

As I had a bit of spare time this afternoon, I thought I would cut a recess in a piece of new skirting board, my dremel simply gave up.. 20 years old. I think I have had my money's worth.. R.I.P, I treated it to a new chuck only last year. Gratitude for ya

Can’t beat a tool that lasts that long. How many tools do you find these days which breakdown within a year.

Whilst the extension was nearing completion, I wore my trusty Makita cordless drill out It was that old I couldn't find a replacement battery that was cost effective,

I very rarely buy any corded tools anymore, but I can justify that with using them for work.

I'm gradually replacing all of my power tools with the Makita cordless ones.
Fantastic that they all use the same batteries.

Most manufacturers are doing this now, have done for a few years now.

just because something is old it doesn't actually mean it served you well...not if you didn't use it lol, Black & Decker motors are designed to run for 24hrs usage, will last years to the odd job man but no use whats so ever to a tradesman.

My dremel was used to hollow out fiberglass to house motors on my helicopter, clean watches, get rust off garden gates, general diy..my crappy dewalt cordless drill lasted a year @ best, only really used as a screw driver, and for making pilot holes.

 

[superdark024]

use mine on a regualr basis and is serving me well
