Most teenagers have car magazines or the latest issue of T3, I had Dremel and Minicraft catalogues! For my 14th Birthday I asked for and got a Dremel 395! The design is still pretty much the same 15 years later and it’s still a very good tool so I thought I would do a quick review and describe why I went for this model and not the cheaper alternatives. To start with, there is the sheer amount of torque available from a mains powered drill. At 125 watts, you are never short of it. I have used mine as a general household drill for 15 years and it’s never let me down. It won’t drill into brickwork, but it coped pretty well with some extremely hard oak beams.
Although some of the other drills match or come close to the 125 watts, I never found a mini drill that matched the quality of the Dremel.
