What Dremel package should I buy?

[EverEvolvingExotics]

I am sick of inhaling melted plastic from burning air holes in tubs. I have wanted one of these for a long time. I'd like to pick one up in the next week or so.

In addition to drilling holes, I'd like to have as many applications available from my Dremel while keeping costs as low as possible.

Should I just buy the Dremel and add pieces later, or buy a package? I prefer to have a cord, I always run out of batteries at the worst time. I have an Amazon prime account so that might save me some money.

Dremel tools are worthless.

Buy a Unibit

I used them for years, I love them. I will check into a Unibit though, hopefully it is affordable.

I love my dremel, works great. I've drilled thousands of holes in tubs and it hasn't burnt out yet.

Heck, just plain ol' electric drills are a great choice as well.

Go with a plug-in, I get frustrated at battery-powered tools.

If you choose a Dremel, just compare prices. I only use a handful of the bits and things that came with my kit, but it was still more affordable to get the kit than buy the individual bits.

Mainbutter, helping me out like a pro today! Thanks.

I did not like using a regular drill, hairline cracks just look crappy to me. Does this ever happen with your Dremel on tubs?

I did a few searches for a Unibit, I only see drill bits, no power tools...

I have a small cordless dremel and love it. I got the kit with several different bits and love it, though I have not found use for all of them yet. It's come in handy for many, many applications.

I've had zero cracking when using a small drill bit and the dremel to drill holes in sterilites. Come to think of it, I haven't had any cracking when using a regular drill bit up to 1/4" either.

I haven't drilled a hole in a tub for over 6 years, maybe I'm just crazy then. I'm going to keep looking around for the best price.

I use a dremel. No problems if you work slowly and clean the plastic off the bit as it builds up. If you use it to drill larger holes or holes for water bottle tube on rodent tubs, find a washer that the water bottle tube just fits through. Have a friend hold it very securely on the tub and use that as a guide to drill the hole through so it's a perfect circle and you don't mess up.

I love Dremels, I use them on BASICALLY everything (Guitars, Amps, woodworking, PVC, Lexan, metal, blah blah blah!)

Sears, home depot carry unibits.
I never considered using one for holes, I solder & solder & solder & solder. I have learned to set up a fan right next to me though.
