An Ode to the Dremel

It’s not the tool I use around the house the most. That’s probably the Skeletool I keep on my hip or my drill. I actually look forward to seeing how fast I can assemble flatpack furniture with my drill.

But the Dremel makes little impossible things possible in a small apartment.

Like when the top for my daughter’s favorite water bottle broke.

It’s a very short task to use the carving attachments to cut the sharp bits off and then use a sander to round over the edges.

A water bottle covered in cute pandas and goat stickers. In front of it, the top is roughly rounded over and sanded down where it was damaged previously.

Little things become easy. Or if we need to cut off a section of our outdoor tiles or small metals sections. If you can’t fit it in tin snips, you can still use the metal cutting disks to cut through it or score things enough to snap.

But wait, there's more
