Dremel

Dremel (/ˈdrɛməl/ DREM-əl) is a multinational brand of power tools, focusing on home improvement and hobby applications.

His first product, released within the company, was an electric razor-blade sharpener, which lost popularity when cheap disposable razors became readily available.

In the 1940s, the United States Department of Defense reportedly used Dremel rotary tools in developing the first atomic bomb.

By inserting the appropriate bit (or burr), the tool can perform drilling, grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving, and engraving.

The collets are flexible, and will accept both original Dremel and alternative makes of cutting, grinding, and polishing head shafts.

Dremel produces hot glue guns, scroll saws, butane tools, contour sanders, versatips, and powered screwdrivers, as well as accessories and attachments.

[citation needed] In late 2008, Dremel released an oscillating tool, after the patent for the Fein Multimaster had run out.
