I was thinking of getting a dremel rotary tool. Is anyone familiar with it? are there any other brand of rotary tools that are cheaper in price?

HI Joey, May I know where you bought yours? I went to Ace and DIY - they don't have any rotary tools

Tru Value in Park Square Makati have dremel tool for sale.

Dremel is still the best (rotary) tool you can buy. The attachments are excellent and complete though the local retailers might not have it.

There is an authorised distributor and service centre in the G. Araneta area in Q.C. Am not sure but it might be Panda Hardware or something like that. They would probably have all the attachments
and maybe even cheaper. They can fix your unit, warranty or if it fails in the long term. Just ask the place where you finally get your Dremel, what is the warranty period and who will fix it if needed.

There are (very) cheap (China) rotary tools out there, usually from those TV home shopping type programs but have not seen any lately. Ace, Tru-Value and maybe even Handyman used to have them but haven't seen anymore of them lately.

You might be able to get them on eBay.ph, but surely you'd be able to get them (albeit 120 V.A.C.)
from eBay.com in the U.S.

Have been using Dremel for decades and have gotten myself out of many jams with it, so if you are a dedicated/budding craftsman/carpenter/DIYer who does a lot of fine work in various types of materials, wood, plastic, metals, get a DREMEL !!

And remember when you use it, overheating the motor is your enemy, if you have to grind or cut a lot, use it but also rest it periodically. You will know from the heat & smells coming out.

Happy grinding !!

Thanks for the heads up. I called Panda and they do have dremel tools

[edtf]

I was able to pass by Panda and I was able to buy a dremel multi speed - 3k. But a word of caution be careful when you go to Panda - they have lots and lots of nice tools - you can easily spend thousand and thousands on tools :D

[joaquim]

San po yung panda hardware?

[edtf]

Is the Dremel tool that is being sold at Panda 220 volt?

When there used to be Dremel at True Value (?), they were 110 volt units.

Is this it (from http://www.eye.ph/ ) --
PANDA CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY
340-B G. Araneta Avenue, Quezon City
716-8361

hmm... panda eh? what's the atmosphere like? is it like going to ace or something where you can just do your own walking around the shelves and looking (and resisting the urge to buy) on your own?

Lets say it is comparable for a kid entering toys r us :D - yup you do your own walking aroundthe shelves

Are Binondo tool and hardware stores like that, where you can browse leisurely, with most or all of their stock displayed on shelves ... or are Binondo stores more like counter-oriented, due to limitations of space, i.e., where there is a glass counter showing only a limited part of their stock and you have to tell the person at the counter what you are looking for and then they disappear for a few minutes to look for it and you have to repeat that procedure for every item that you become interested in seeing?

most are walk in with lots of display but there are times that you have to ask them if you are looking for a particular tool/item

OMG! I better bring along the FC (financial controller) then... else I might have lots of tools after walking out but no more money. :D

For those still looking for rotary tool suppliers, you might try purchasing from RS Electronics:

Rotary Tools (http://philippines.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=searchProducts&searchTerm=dremel&x=0&y=0#Power%20Tools)

HTH

@EDTF - is it somewhere within the highlighted area? (just guestimating based on your description (http://www.pinoyhandyman.com/showpost.php?p=2658&postcount=11) above. TIA.

[guad]

is it somewhere within the highlighted area?

Yes. The frontage is small and easy to miss.

I recently saw Dremel 300 series (300-N/25) at True Value for P4,500. The price at Panda was P3,000 as previously mentioned.

i have a cheap china dremel. I got it from shoppesville greenhills for 1500pesos. the brand name is "Moeller" or something. It is also compatible with original dremel accessories.

I have this one also, but the motor is very weak. These are still being sold locally, just saw it in Ace Hardware last week.

I just got my Dremel Drill Workstation and I can't mount a 13mm Impact Hand Drill on it...Is there any way I can buy an Adaptor to replace the existing Drill holder with the one that can hold a 13mm Impact Drill...Thanks
