I updated this article to indicate that some Sears-branded rotary tools are manufactured by Dremel. This information came from looking at the design and plastic case molding numbers from a Sears tool and a Dremel-branded one, both seeming almost identical. This was confirmed by the following list of manufacturer codes of Sears-branded products: Old Woodworking Machines - Craftsman OEM List ClarusWorks 23:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that the internal workings are the same? I understand that Sears will often request changes from the OEM to meet a lower price point. So often the Sears-branded product might be of lower quality than the OEM-branded one. Luigizanasi 04:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely! I've repaired several Sears Tools (from drills to sanders and routers as well as a couple of Moto tools, and found all of them made with shortcuts that reduce their useful life and the price. Overall not recommended. Amclaussen.

I am broken. I am here for a reason.

Does this look like an ad to you? --Broken 13:14, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It might be an ad, but maybe not. If you think it should be deleted, you can put it on votes for deletion (VfD) by puttting {{subst:vfd}} on the top of the page. Then follow the red link of the box that will be on the top of the page and put your vote. Howabout1 15:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It has been 3 month. Most people voted to keep, and the page has been cleaned up. I suggest removing the notice. DEng 01:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the article actually was not ever properly nominated for deletion, so noone ever closed the "Vfd", because the link had only been posted on the article, please see WP:VFD#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion. Step III is somewhat important. --Mysidia (talk) 01:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One section has all the appearance of being verbatim from the old advertisement alongside. I'll try and fix it. Stub Mandrel (talk) 18:14, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, Dremel is known worldwide as a useful tool, and the section explaining that people often mention it as a tool instead of a brand of moto tool shows it. Maybe the commenter that said the article seemed like an ad knows very little about tools! Amclaussen.

Cleaned up a bit, so to speak

I reordered the article, cleaned up some of the prose, and removed some non relevant points. One thing, perhaps the article "Dremel" should refer to the company, and a new one "Dremel Moto Tool" be created for the specific tool. That way, the other tools in the line can be covered if someone wishes. Your thoughts? Seaphoto 22:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pets?

Many people use this on pet nails. I didn't see it listed there. Do a search for "dremel nail" or something and you'll find thousands of pages. It's what Peticure and Pedipaws are made from more or less, but with a shield on them. I'm figuring it's worth mentioning. -Babylon pride (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
