New! Aldi Dremel Rotary Toolkit Review & Test, So Cheap But Is It Any Good?

[@andrewcaldwell-jones8212]

Got myself one of these and i can't say the user manual was overally helpful. Whilst i would of figured out how to use it, change the parts. This video was super helpful that you showed everything and what every part was for. Saved me alot of time. Thank you

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Andrew, yeah the manual is a bit "vague" to say the least! I did quite a but of research on these tools before filming, so I'm really pleased to hear that it was of some use to you. Many thanks for taking the time to write this comment. Cheers! 😎👍

[@sushigal007]

Watched this for the exact same reason! I've never touched a rotary tool before in my life, and thought the pictures were in multiple steps and could not figure out how to attach a sanding disk to anything, so this was very useful.

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@sushigal007 That's great to know the video is of use to some people, thank you so much for letting me know, much appreciated! 🙏👍

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve got a set of files I got from Aldi here in the states and they’re the sharpest files I’ve ever used, and they hold their edge

[@MarkBryanRC]

Yeah, I got a couple of sets of mini files from Aldi, a standard set and a diamond blade set. Both are excellent quality and still sharp after a few years hard use! Thanks for the comments, bud!

[@CrimeVid]

I bought a corded knock off dremel-a-like twenty years ago, works fine, still haven’t used all the ancillaries that came with it.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Oh yes, some of these knock-offs are actually pretty good! 😎👍

[@shadow7037932]

Good on you for mentioning the safety items in this quick review.

[@MarkBryanRC]

You bet, it's easy to forget how dangerous a little tool like this can be when spinning at 25000 rpm! Thanks for the comment, dude!

[@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader]

I have had some absolute gold from Aldi over the years, always worth a look !

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi dude, yeah as I was saying elsewhere, I shop for groceries at Aldi every week and I'm always scanning the shelves for DIY tools that might be useful for my RC car hobby. I've had many great bargains in the past! 👍🏼

[@M.A.S.Ked-Crusader]

@@MarkBryanRC it’s probably my favourite supermarket, some of the hand tools I’ve been using for years and they are still great, I do love a bargain 👍

[@RCBirds]

Great tool Mark. Thanks for the presentation. I like the fast connector on it and that they give you lots of cutting disks. The last ones break very easy no matter who produced them.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Dirk - and thank you for watching and commenting my friend! Yes, lots of good accessories with this tool, I found out how fragile the cutting disks are by breaking one just fitting it to the mandrel! Take care, buddy! :))

[@jollygreengiant7070]

I always love finding things at Aldi's that I wouldn't even dream of finding there. 😄 I've seen ads for these here, it seems they always sold out before you get the ad in the mail.

Same here! I shop for groceries at Aldi every week and I'm always scanning the shelves for DIY tools that might be useful for my RC car hobby. As you say, these items are usually such good value they don't stay in stock for long!

Just got one today at Aldi. I love it!!!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Nice one! It's a cool little tool for sure! :)

[@theoagrc]

That is a great bit of kit Mark. I have a corded one I picked up a few months back and it is great but I always wish it was cordless. This looks like a bargain for us Hobbyist! Thanks for sharing pal 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Craig, yeah I gotta say it's going to come in useful on my RC car builds. The fact it's cordless is a big advantage when using it outside and not having to run mains extension leads into the garden! Thanks for watching matey! 👍🏼

[@AddamsPlayground]

I can see where it would be a great little tool to have nearby the RC/hobby bench! Certainly plenty of speed and power for most anything you would need to do for little projects.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks for popping over, Addam. Yeah I can definitely think of a few uses for this tool when working on my RC kits, especially when doing mods. All the best, dude! :)

[@thecontractor365]

Hiya mate, if I didn't already own a Dremel I'd definitely be picking one of these up at that price. Just like the Dremel it can simulate an F1 car going through the gears like on 1:45. I'm always doing that....🤣. Those cutting tools are really handy as well, pretty invaluable for modellers like us. That is a great find mate and worth every penny provided it has longevity...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi buddy! Haha, yeah, hours of fun just revving this tool up! I do hope this thing is reliable, but going on the robustness of other Aldi and Ferrex tools I've had it should be OK. Plus it has a 3 year warranty! I'm already imagining the little RC related jobs I can tackle with it. Thanks for the great comment, catch you later, mate! :))

[@DustyFingersRC]

Looks the same as mine but a different colour. My only complaint is the location of the one and off switch. They are a great price and work well. 👍🏼

[@MarkBryanRC]

Totally agree, Damian - when I first tried this I was thinking that the on/off should be combined with the rotary speed selector! But for the price I'm not complaining! Cheers, dude!

[@WESTSIDEGuhl]

I'm new to diying and your video helped me understand this tool can't wait for more

[@MarkBryanRC]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@madsrcbuggy]

How nicely you polished up Her Majesty, Mark! Yeah, those rotary tools are a huge help with a lot of hobbyist work! I have a cheapo brand corded one, it works fine. I did consider getting a fancier one, but the machine I have works fine, so I'll keep using it until it dies...

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks, Mads, yes my polishing Her Majesty was a conscious decision due to recent events, you seem to read my mind, Mads! I know what you mean, I never throw anything away until it's completely useless! All the best, hope all is good with you, my mate. :))

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Mark, I like your tool! (Oh err! 😂🤣) looks like it’s good value for money and could prove to be very handy around the workshop. Thank you for showing us. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😊😉😁

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks a ton, John! Haha, can't beat a tool joke! I'm already imagining loads of uses for my new tool! Thanks for watching, my friend, best to you and yours, too!👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya mate. I suddenly remembered that this video had popped up when I was on holiday and I hadn't been back to watch. Anyway that looks fantastic for the money mate. It's very similar to a mains powered one that I got from ebay. Great demo of the different attachments. I've not tried the cutting tool on aluminium but it seems to cope well and might be easier than a hacksaw. I mainly use it for removing plastic when doing mods. Anyway really good review mate. I'll no doubt see you later on another vid. Best wishes 🙂

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Pete! Thanks for popping back! Yeah, I'm chuffed with this little tool (Fnar) and it was only spoiled when I was in Aldi last week and saw it reduced to £17!!! Now that's a bargain. If yours is mains powered it should have no problems with harder materials. I've already found a few uses for this one, I'm used to doing everything manually! Thanks mate, wishing you a smashing weekend! :))

[@enthused7591]

Been looking for a deal on the Milwaukee M12 rotary tool but they never get cheap. Saw this at Aldi today for $19.99 so I may have to try it.

[@uncletom1971]

This exact tool-set is called Parkside at Lidl's, although the tool itself is green, not grey, it has the same accessories and comes in that same box. There's also a more versatile bit-set for this tool with more bits and peices, like various round files, I think three sizes, which you can use for sanding out wheel arches on the plastic bodies. These extra bits come in a larger kind of square box that has a rotatable stand. Have an extra look around the shelves in your store, they should have it. Good thing is that it's all compatible with the original Dremel tools.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Thomas and thanks for the interesting comment! I didn't know that Lidl sold similar tools. I'll have to check them out more often! That bit set sounds ideal for RC modelling. I will look for one of those for sure. Yeah, it is cool that the manufacturers are using standard fittings, better for us consumers! Best regards from Mark - Cheers!

[@uncletom1971]

[@3TRCGarage]

Hi Mark, this is a nice set up. A rotary tool is an absolute essential for any RC hobbyist. My first Dremel lasted 20 years. The tool was fine but the battery wouldn’t hold a charge. I think a corded higher power rotary to cut/file metal and a smaller cordless are the perfect combo if you have the funds. I think a review of all the tools needed for RC beginners would be a great youtube video. Take care!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Paul, I don't know how I've managed all these years without a rotary tool! I would also buy a genuine Dremel but money is very tight and this cheap copy will have to do for me. TBH I'm really pleased with it's performance. Plenty enough power for modelling. A corded version would be better for heavier work though. Another great idea for a video, cheers! Take care too, Bro! :))

[@Del350K4]

Wicked! I like the way it cuts out if it gets stuck. I've always wondered why you never mention using a Dremel to cut out wheel arches or to modify or finish them off. I'd never have guessed that you simply didn't have a rotary tool!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Cheers, Del! Yeah, that cutoff surprised me as it's not mentioned in the manual. Bloody good feature, though. No, I have never owned a rotary tool before, now I keep imagining what RC related jobs I can tackle with it! All the best, mate! :)

[@Del350K4]

@@MarkBryanRC When I gave one to my dad, he looked at it a little bemusedly and said"Well, thank you very much for this, though I confess I'm not sure what I'll use it for". A week later, while traversing a muddy slope with a trailer full of firewood, his Shogun slid sideways into a tree and punched a hole in a rear light lens. Next time I saw him he proudly showed me how he's trimmed the hoke to a neat rectangle with his Dremel and patched it with a piece of red translucent plastic from an old, broken light lens. They are surprisingly useful!
