Looking for rotary tool recommendations. My #Dremel rotary tool died and i’m finding Dremel tools is like buying a Gillette razor, lock in, but shittier quality. Any recommendations for a #rotary #Tool ?

@Toxic_Flange I'll second the first suggestion, a bit of tinkering has kept my Dremel alive for a long time now

Having said that, I found an older model die grinder in a recycling resale place, dirt cheap, and it's Dremel-ish, but with teeth.

The Dremel gets a lot less abuse now

@mcacres took it apart, some continuity testing, i think the switch went bad

@Toxic_Flange if you look up the model on the Dremel site you may find they still offer replacements?

Or eBay maybe?

@mcacres And its fixed! Messed with the internals of the physical power switch, to make a better contact, re-assembled and it seems to have worked!
