spent the evening fixing the lx450. new window rubber runs. got 3 of the 4 windows done. also tried to fix a weird speaker. I have no idea if that fix will work considering it's an intermittent issue of it cutting out. keep our fingers crossed.

I always perform a test drive every time even if it's not drive train related. never know when your going to cause a nasty rattle or something.

This time around I had a friend come alonga praying mantis.

GM on this holiday weekend. this weekend we are finding our dinning room renovation with new baseboard and window casings. pictures on that later. the question is which type of fun to have on the way to the hardware store today. Hot Hatch speed, top down breeze, king of the world brute force.

Old fashioned screen door with the classic spring

I have a rotary tool from Harbor Freight that needs to be replaced. The plastic is cracking around the frame. Do I go with another Dremel like tool or go with a more powerful air powered Die Grind...

I wound up getting a Dremel. I found a Dremel from an estate sale for $10. Works great. I didn't realize until I got it home that it's from 1987 the receipt was in the case and the chuck says West Germany on it. I used it to get some carbon off a cast iron waffle iron, no issues.

Do I go with another Dremel like tool or go with a more powerful air powered Die Grinder.

Most of my uses are grinding off rusted nuts/bolts from areas on my car that a regular grinder can't reach or might be dangerous to use. I have used my Dremel in the past to do engravings, detailed sanding and cutting plexi glass. Budget is around $100 plus or minus. I do like that the cord is more useful and easier then lugging an air hose around. Cordless would be great, but too expensive for a tool I don't use all that often.

I understand you can use Dremel attachments with the Die Grinder and get more use of it. The Dremel is around $99. THis kit from Vevor is only $70 with both an angled and straight grinder:

If you have the air compressor to power it, die grinder all the way. A die grinder will be able to push larger carbide bits that a Dremel won't be able to. However, if you don't already have an air compressor, a Dremel is a fantastic little tool. Cheers!

My vote would be air. As long as you have a big compressor they use a ton of cfms. For detail the Dremel works great. Just not enough punch for the bugger stuff.
