So, how does this compare to the dremel heavy duty metal cutting wheels which existed for years now? are these better? thanks

This cutting wheel works great. True that if a lot of cutting is done, the wheel is worn out fast.

These are not better but very good for what they are designed for which is lighter duty work. They work fine for most of the things you use a dremel tool cutoff disk for but they are not for heavy sheet metal.

They have improved a bit. They are still not going to be as good as hardened steel, but get the job done for small bolts and things like that. Leatherman make I one that has an adjustable wrench head also.

I'm sure about the volts but it has been awsome with my mowing. It cuts better than the Black and Decker. Only problem is wheel wobbles and i have heard that before. Otherwise everything else is A plus. I love it , just hope one wheel does not give me a problem.

I tried a Google search for "heavy duty electric sheet metal shear replacement blades" and got lots of results.Another google search for "dewalt heavy duty electric sheet metal shear manual" had lots of hits. Of course you will want to use your name brand instead of "dewalt"

Made in Germany for more endurance then normal DREMELS, mine lasted 2 years with very heavy, daily use until it needed a new circuit board, under full warranty. Cost is double what a better DREMEL would be, but I have 5 of them too, all burned out and too expensive to fix.

I honesty cannot say. I had both. One burned out so I bought the other. As long as we had it we did not dull the blade out. Sorry wish I could be of more help. I can say they are both equal in quality & the motor is as powerful in both. Thanks

Yes, it is one of the best. You won't be disappointed. Using this shears doesn't damage the metal finish like using a grinder does. Definitely the best way to go. Time saver too.

Yep, definitely get the GK or GKP if you can afford it. Either is far superior to any of Cold Steel's stamped metal blades, like the RK. Sure the less expensive blades have the protective coating, but once it wears off through sharpening and use, it is just as susceptible to corrosion if not more so. The GK and GKP are monster blades, light and durable, and if properly maintained either will outlive you.

Any rechargeable type dremel is not a "continuous duty" tool. I would try the "plug-in" type w/ the cutoff wheel. Be careful not to exceed the MAX safe RPM & wear eye protection. Should work, actually I would use large wire cutters actually for this job & not use a rotating tool whatsoever.....

In my opinion the edjer 2 is better after u adjust the blades and has a more power. I just purchased another one this week. Great tool.

I would say that the quality of all of the current production in the listed brands are comparable. The older Craftsman tools, speaking of from the 70s and 80s, I have found to be tighter when new, and of better over all construction. The GearWrench tools are of respectable quality and are a good value, especially if you shop around and can find a good deal online.

I've actually had pretty good luck with mine. This is the second one I've owned. I ran the first one over while working on the truck so I can't say anything bad about it. I've owned the second one for two years now and get regular use out of it. Wheels are great and the tool holders are pretty nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the third after I run number two over!

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

The metal blades will always cut more precise and consistent than the plastic attachment guides. If you have the money spend definitely go with the metal blades but if you're just looking to save money go with the plastic attachments.

I have had mine for about a year now and it is much more robust than other models. You cam use different shank sizes without changing out parts like other models since it has a standard chuck. It also doesn't bog down like other models. The handle doesnt get hot in your hand either and its mot as bulky as it looks Its quite comfortable. This is my third dremel brand rotery tool. The last two were high end dremels and this one is the best I have ever owned. I use mine for cutting/carving plastic, wood, metal and have used it on bone and it works great. I did replace the foot switch with a router speed control so i can swirch it on by hand a adjust the speed without getting a cramp in my leg. Hope this helps.
