A single-speed 'MultiPro' Dremel

Dremel Moto-Tool is the name given to rotary tools developed by Albert J. Dremel, who founded the Dremel Company in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993 it was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH, and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation located in Mount Prospect, Illinois. They are extremely versatile tools and are used extensively by model makers, hobbyists, and do-it-yourselfers. They may be likened to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers.

The Dremel tool rotates a bit at high speed; the bit is held in a collet. Variable-speed versions may cover a range of 5,000–35,000 RPM. The Dremel uses its speed as opposed to torque to get the job done. By inserting an appropriate bit (or burr) the tool can perform drilling, grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving and engraving. Both battery-powered and corded models are available. Recent additions to the line of Dremel options include a miniature planer attachment and a saber saw attachment that lets the Dremel act much like a small reciprocating saw.
