Dream machine

From keen crafters to budding builders, D.I.Y. enthusiasts of every stripe will love the Dremel 8220-1/28 Cordless Rotary Tool. This versatile and powerful tool is a one-size-fits-all solution for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor projects. It comes with a 10.8V battery and charger, multipurpose cutting attachment and 28 accessories, and its ergonomic design has a comfortable 360-degree grip. For added safety, its motor brake stops the accessory spinning as soon as you switch it off.

Furniture fix

Revive tired timber furniture with the 70-piece EZ Lock Accessory Kit (EZ725) that includes instruments for cutting, polishing, sanding, cleaning and more. Add the Detailer’s Grip (577) to personalise your work. This soft-grip handle allows you hold it like a pencil for precision engraving, carving and etching.

Full circle

The Circle Cutter & Straight Edge Guide (678) makes it easy to cut a perfect circle. For example, use it to cut into the back of a desk or an entertainment unit to create a hole through which you can feed electrical cords.

Tile file

Whether you are a mosaic artist or replacing a splashback, Dremel’s Tile Cutting Attachment Kit (566) makes light work of traditionally tricky jobs. Simply choose your depth (up to 20mm) to make precision cuts.

Bathroom bliss

Pair your Dremel with the Wall & Floor Grout Removal Attachment (568) to give the bathroom a mini-makeover. A guide fixed at a 30-degree angle ensures the process is accurate and controlled, enabling careful grout removal while minimising the risk of damage to your tiles.
