Dremel type attachments?

[Alan B'Stard]

Just bought a dremel type tool and I'm flying through the steel wire attachments like anything and the job is only half done, where in Stafford sells reasonable priced wire brush dremel type attachments?

The tool stall on the market usually has a few at a fair price. Lidl often do mini-tool sets at a remarkable price.

High speed, low pressure - let the tool do the work.

Maplin's on the Hough might be worth a look

Never tried wilko's but they might be worth a look.

Thanks for the sugestions, I'll give them a try on Saturday.

I had a quick look in Maplin yesterday and they only seem to have them in sets of tools that you might not want, but quiz the lads, they're very helpful in there.

Amazon might be worth a look http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B0015NSU5S/ref=pd_sim_diy_cm_cr_acr_img_1

Those are a bit big for a Dremel - it's more this sort of thing - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-2...373706213&sr=8-7&keywords=rotary+wire+brushes . Amazon prices don't seem especially good compared to what I've paid in the Market.

Whoops! Sorry

This maybe a bit more useful than what I originally suggested http://www.amazon.co.uk/Am-Tech-Pol...&sr=1-3&keywords=Small+rotary+tool+wire+brush

That's more like it - sometimes size matters....

Me: Do you sell them singly?
Slightly portly and unhelpful old guy: Nope.

B&Q have them at around £2.50 per piece, the tool stall in the market only had other attachments, none of the pound shops had them and nothing I could see at Wilkos.

I'll wait until my bits arrive from somewhere called Poos Maus in the UK, which funnily enough, I find out to be China after I "bought them now" grrrrr.

He is to be avoided. All the other lads ( and lasses ) in there are on your side.....

Thanks Darben, I did go in there on Saturday but did not see anything, 'spose I should have asked. I'll pop in tomorrow.

Upstairs - right at the very back - well, they were last time I was in there, anyway...

 

[Alan B'Stard]

Cheers, I found them, and much cheaper than B&Q official dremel stuff.

My experience has been that the official dremel attachments are worth the extra. The tool in my cheapy Maplin set was fine, but the attachments are rubbish. I have been doing more cutting & sanding than polishing though....
