haha...what CAN't you use it for! It is so friggin versatile...

I have p/p'd my throttle body with mine, cleaned rust off my calipers before I painted them, etc (can't remember what else right now.)

But these tools are a must-have imo emoji

I have sanded, cut, drilled, polished, and engraved with mine. Its probably one of my favorite tools.

We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"

use it to cut slits in stripped bolts so you can extract them w/ a screwdriver

use it to polish and take off rust for painting, etc..

use if to trim fiberglass/interior/plastic pieces (used mine to port my factory airbox)

use it to cut thin metal (had to do this once on a nissan facory headunit bracket...tried removing the screw for 2 hours, cut it off in 20 seconds)

im sure theres a million more uses i just cant thing of right now, lol. i use mine on almost every project.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

DONE
* ported and polished my tb
* mild porting/polishing of the intake runners
* polished the letters on the VC
* cut seized bolt off the OEM exhaust during header install
* cut out inner fender well during Uber's HRC install
TO BE DONE
* redo the VC (paint is wrinkled and shitty)
* clean up calipers during rebuild
* planning custom backlit shift gate soon (cutting/engraving)
* making a second, improved back lit TALON center tail light piece for sale.

Dremel kick ass. And you'll love the flex attachment if you get it too. Pick up some Simichrome polish and see your face in ANYTHING. emoji
