Found my Dremel 3000 this morning, which is a brand new Xmas gift from 2 years ago that I've never used until today. I needed to spot derust some tools, so I popped on the sanding band attachment and leisurely started to derust the tools. After about half hour of use (with short intermittent breaks, not continuous), it totally gave up the ghost. Checked fuse and two carbon brush inserts, but nothing amiss there. Googled 'Dremel not working' and it appears that this a common problem. It's out of warranty now, but I'm keen to buy another tool which is this style, as it's easy to hold and work with.
There was me thinking Dremel was a top notch brand. So the questions are;
1) Was I asking too much from a Dremel?
2) Are Dremels not as good as I was led to believe?
3) Is there a better alternative brand out there, who makes this style of tool, but is more robust?
I'm happy to spend up to £100 on something that will last. Don't fancy buying another Dremel, if they prove to be unreliable.
