Rotary/Dremel Tool? Well I just recently bought extra intake manifold for my truck.
I plan on cutting down the runner but I dont have a Rotary/Dremel tool to do so.
I am wondering what everyone on the forum is using.
Reason I ask is because I went to Sears and Walmart to look at the rotary/Dremel tools. Turns out there are quite a few different ones to choose from.
Also I noticed that there are wireless and wired tools too.
I am assuming a wired one would be a better choice because I wont have to charge it as much but I am not really sure. I am not really even sure if the wireless ones will have enough power to cut the runner off.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Here are a few that caught my eye at the stores.
Wired:
Black & Decker 3 Speed RTX Rotary Tool: $30
Craftsman Corded Single Speed Rotary Tool : $40
Dremel 100-N/6 120V Single Speed Rotary Tool: $36
Dremel 200-N/15 120V 2-Speed Rotary Tool: $46
Wireless:
Craftsman Nextec Rotary Tool : $85
Dremel 5008000-02 10.8-volt Cordless Rotary Tool : $85
Craftsman 61078 4.8-volt Cordless Rotary Tool with 5-Accessories : $28
Dremel 7300-N/5 4.8V MiniMite Cordless Rotary Tool: $20
The last 2 in the wireless section that are in the $20 range seem a bit wimpy because they are both like 4.8V batteries on them. I like their price but not sure if they will work.
As for the wired ones the Black & Decker one seems real good for the price and it also has a 3 speed feature where as the others come with either 1 or 2. The only issue I have with it is that I am really not familiar with Black & Decker. I am not sure if they are any good. The price is awesome when factoring in the features.
Also I posted up those ones because I wanted to keep the price range under $50 on the tool.
Well like I said above any help/information would be appreciated!

IMO a rotary tool should be corded.

The only cordless I have ever used with power like a corded is the Milwaukee M12 cordless rotary tool. I like it a lot and I am pretty demanding on things. Check that out.

Corded Dremel FTW. I think I have a 300 series one that I've put through hell.
Dremel is for the detail work and stuff too small for my air die-grinder.
