Foredom is much better, IMO.

Horrah! I use my Dremmel for everything from household DIY jobs to scale modelling, but the sander drum has always been a bit of a pain. So this is great news. To be honest though, I feel we are lucky to have a product that we have so little to moan about, I really would feel a bit lost if I didn’t have my Dremmel (I have tried other brands, including the cheapies, and noting is as well made.)

i use the old one everyday at work. i also found it really difficult and time consuming to switch them out but then i figured out if you soak them a bit in water or put a little vaseline on the rubber then the new drum slides right on.

Yay! Never thought about it, but dremel does have a few products that have been in need of an upgrade.

Finally! I agree the black rubber sander is next to useless, it’s like it was designed by someone that never intended to use it. Good to know that this problem is finally fixed.

I think they actually have the EZ-version for the cut-off discs as well. I greatly enjoy both of these.

Now it they’d just fix the non-adjustable collets..and the mounting stud for the carbide cut off discs as well!

Looks to me more like the kick drum beater from hell.
