I think he means Dremel...

But I'll tell you what, if you think the Dremel is good(which it is, I have one) Then you should try the RotoZip, that sucker kicks the dremels' buttocks.

These are some of the best tools for working on your Thirdgen...

I'll put in a good word for dremel... you can get various Dremel Moto Tools at almost any hobby shop or Sears and various hardware stores... they come in super 30,000 RPM to mediocre cordless versions (which do a decent job) they range from about 40 - 100 dollars and you can buy any attachment you could dream up... I've infact used mine so much I'll need a replacement soon! I have the 5 speed (up to 30k RPM) model...

Its mostly a metal cutting and body working tool for smaller jobs... well thats its best car application, its very good for intricate wood work also.

I've fried two dremels in the past year. I still have a new Dremel, but I use an air operated die grinder now for the heavier stuff that was killing the Dremels.

fyi, if you can't find some place with a "dremel" for sale, ask them any rotary tools, sears carries the dremel, but only one model. The craftsman version is the rotary tool. The roto zip is on sale at sears right now for 79.99 with a case and some accessories, regularly around 99.00

RotoZip is a piece of crap made in China, buy a Dremel its USA made baby.

I use my dremel all the time. Only once on my f-body though, I polished the tips of my battery nice and neat. Plan on cleaning up some other rust spots and corroded metal under the hood.

Also, stop supporting products from the middle east. My thridgen is gonna run on natural gas! soon as I figure out the cost. Should be cheaper.
