Greets people.

Was thinking how I need a cut-off/grinding tool for awkward to reach corners and things. Was wondering what type of tools people here would use?

I was thinking of something like this:

Dremel 3000 Series Multitool with 25 Accessories and Flexishaft: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Corded is fine for me, in fact, I'd rather go corded than have to faff around with batteries. I've got an air die grinder, which is OK for some things, but I can't get the kind of attachments I want. If there was some way to get the dremel style collet in to my die grinder, that'd be ace!
 
Not being funny, but do a search, there is a thread in here somewhere with Dremel in it and the actual tool of choice for Landy Zoners, can't rememberr what the landy zone tool is (it's Friday night, I might be on my second beer already ;) ) but it appears to be able to eat Dremeal for breakfast :)
 
I bought a Dremel to chamfer the ports on a pair of TDR 250 barrels that Stan the man bored for me - damn fine bit of kit for that job.

you may be better off with a die grinder
 
I've used a Dremel for years (nothing modern like the 3000) and swear by it.Sanding/De-rusting/cutting/and drilling small holes it's an ideal tool. The flexishaft makes it almost a go-anywhere tool.

The only criticisms I have is the price of the cutting discs and other tools and that the slowest speed is too fast for some grinding (i.e. the hard skin on the bottom of the wife's feet :D)
 
I fought with a couple of jubilee clips that had their screws rusted into a solid mass for 20 minutes before I remembered my dremel. Seconds later I'd cut them off. Now the dremel is hung on a shelf in my workshop, not in a box where I forget about it.
 
Yup, mains dremel with the flexishaft. You're right about the cost of the discs, they're expensive. I find the heavy duty ones work best.
 
pencil die grinder, dremels are good but too big, that said Id only recommend a air tool if you have a good compressor
