I am going to purchase a Dremel multi tool or a cheaper alternative for a range of general DIY work. A number of these multi tools are available made by different manufacturers not just Dremel. All models looked at so far come with a Flex Shaft attachment so that tool can be usefully held like a pen for doing addtional stuff like engraving etc.
Electronic speed variation appears to be the main consideration as some tools have variable speeds starting from 5000 RPM going up to
35000 RPM. Alternatively, some tools have a higher start speed at 17000 RPM going up to 33500 RPM. Why the different speeds and how important is the lower speeds?Ones I've looked at so far come from Dremel with cheaper alternatives coming from Clarke and Draper. Can anyone comment on the above or recommend the particular tool their using and why?
Many thanks for any comments DC
