A single-speed 'MultiPro' Dremel

Dremel is a brand of tools, primarily rotary tools, developed by Albert J. Dremel, who founded the Dremel Company in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993 the company was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH, and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation and located in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Dremel rotary tools may be likened to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers.

Rotary tools

The Dremel Moto-Tool rotates a bit at high speed; the bit is held in a collet. Variable-speed versions may cover a range of 3,000–37,000 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. Dremel options include a miniature planer attachment and a saber saw attachment that lets the tool act much like a small reciprocating saw.

Other Dremel rotary tools include a cordless pumpkin carving tool, a cordless pet nail grooming tool, and a cordless golf cleaning tool.

Similar rotary tools (for example, those sold by Sears under their Craftsman brand) are also sometimes colloquially called dremels in an example of a genericized trademark.

Rebranded Dremel Moto-Tools

Some Sears Craftsman rotary tools are actually manufactured by Dremel, particularly those with model numbers beginning with 572.

Non-rotary tools

Dremel produces hot glue guns, scroll saws, contour sanders, and powered screwdrivers.
