>> Hi Maura,

>> A few years ago my 3 sons asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told

>> one I had was over 20 years old and was getting worn-out. My birthday 
>> came

>> no Dremel, so I bought one. Father's Day (two weeks after my birthday) I
>> received three Dremels.
>> Dremels have a 5 year guarentee & all you have to do is return it to them

>> they'll replace it,
>> free of charge. The Sear's rotary tool is made by Dremel.

>> The major problem that I have had with them is the switch. I've returned
>> most of them for faulty/broken switiches. The variable speed models 
>> switch
>> goes more often than the single speed.
>> I set the variable speed on on 'high' & use a foot control. If you

>> & replace them, when worn, they should last a long time. I've never had a
