Copy of Dremel - any FHE ? ?

[WTSDS]

I love my trusty old Dremel but wouldn't mind a spare for when I go and do maintenance and repairs for a friend who lives on a rural property 10 hours away. To save carting my full tool kit up and down the road over the years I've built up a " remote " kit with el-cheapo stuff.

Bunnings has a copy of the Dremel - has anybody bought and used one of these, Ozitools I think is the brand ?

its worked ok for everything ive needed it to do

comes with a flexi shaft as well

Yep I have an Oritz from bunnings and it has been fine. Not that i use it everyday of the week. If i did I'd buy a branded one i guess.

Thanks gents, I'll get one and give it hell while it's in the warranty period.

>>Not that i use it everyday of the week.

No, me neither but sometimes nuthin' else will do - like last time I decided to cleanup my noisy  dry clutch stack before going out for a day's riding and rounded out the Allen key holes in three of the six little soft bolts holding the spring cups. Was very happy to be able to get in and cut screwdriver slots in those heads with the Dremel and an almost worn out cutting wheel.

Thumbs up for the Ozito Rotary Tool, had a chance to give it a good workout cutting down four 6 mm steel bolt shanks during a motor mower repair.

Not as much power as the real thing, but quite adequate

the locking mechanism and the collet/tool holder are a bit mickey mouse, needed an extra good tighten again after the tool worked itself loose after what I thought was tight enough. OK after that tho

Seemed to generate much more heat, so I HAD to inspect the brushes.........

Tread warily when removing and replacing the brushes, they have a junky springing system

Comes with a useful selection of thingies of reasonable quality, more than what I expected
