Dremel are an American company producing lightweight, high-quality power tools used by artists and hobbyists as well as tradesmen such as locksmiths, automotive technicians and woodworkers. The company was founded in 1932 by Albert J. Dremel, an engineering designer of Austrian extraction who had developed his original handheld multi-tool design by 1935. Unlike most other heavy-duty power tools, Dremel’s ultra-light rotary tool operated at high speed and soon became popular with precision craftsmen. An unceasing flow of innovative extensions of the Dremel principle, such as the 1957 Dremel Moto-Saw, as well as a comprehensive series of Multi Tool attachments has ensured the continuing corporate success of the Dremel Manufacturing Company, which is now a part of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation. The modern Dremel rotary tool appears in many versions – for instance a 3,000–37,000 RPM vari-speed option, and cordless models – plus tool extensions such as a flexible shaft, saw, routing and sanding attachments, together with a huge selection of accessories. Dremel also manufacture partner tools which reflect the distinctive Dremel power-tool approach such as glue guns, soldering irons, gas torches and engraving kits.
