New Dremel 4000 multi-tool is most powerful yet

December sees the introduction of the most highly powered multi-tool
on the market - the Dremel 4000.

Capable of handling a very broad range of projects with increased
ease, its 175 watt motor and unique new attachments make it the most
powerful and versatile rotary tool ever launched by Dremel. It
replaces the current 400 Series Digital.

The Dremel 4000 has full variable speed control of between 5,000 -
35,000 rpm giving it the widest speed range. There is a separate
on/off switch with integrated collet lock-out function, so there is no
accidental activation of the collet lock. There is a new nose cap
that is specifically designed for better pencil grip, a hanger ball,
plus superb ergonomics and soft grip for better handling.

Electronic feedback control offers consistent power, as it senses
workloads and adjusts to maintain tool speed. Replaceable motor
brushes extend motor life and a larger fan motor keeps the tool cool.

Compared to the current 400 Series Digital, the new Dremel 4000 has no
less than six major benefits. The power has been increased by a
massive 25% from 140 watts to 175 watts. There are improved
ergonomics. Two unique attachments have been introduced - the Shaping
Platform and the Detailer's Grip - whilst the exchangeable nose cap
also makes its first appearance. On the old 400 Series Digital, there
were +/- buttons which have been replaced by a precision dial on the
new 4000 multi-tool.

The Shaping Platform is for precise sanding, and for sanding at a 45
degree and 90 degree angle. The Detailer's Grip enables the addition
of a pistol grip for added control when, for example, etching into
wooden signs or glass decorations, polishing silverware or brass
knobs, sanding dado rails in tight corners and shaping wooden chair
backs.

Kit One, the Dremel 4000-1/45 will comprise the Dremel 4000
multi-tool, a Flexshaft, 45 accessories (including a SpeedClic starter
set), a welcome poster, the instruction manual, instruction sheet
attachments, a carrying bag and a carton box.

Kit Two, the Dremel 4000-4/65 will comprise the Dremel 4000, the new
extra pencil grip nose cap, the Flexshaft, a Line & Circle Cutter
including bits, the new Shaping Platform, the new Detailer's Grip, 65
accessories including SpeedClic starter set, a welcome poster, an
instruction manual, instruction sheet attachments, a plastic carrying
case and a carton box.

Ideal for carving, engraving, routing, grinding, sanding, cutting,
cleaning, polishing and more - the Dremel 4000 is compatible with all
150 Dremel attachments and accessories, and will satisfy even the most
demanding of craftsmen.

The Dremel 4000 will be available from B&Q and online at
