Hi everyone. I am new to the world of diy and I need to ask what may be an obvious question.
What is the difference between a power drill and a dremmel?
What are the advantages of these tools/
Can you use the same 'bits' on each of the tools?
We are doing quite a bit of diy at the moment - mainly involving drilling and precision drilling - would you say that we needed both a drill and the dremmel?

If anyone could give me some advice I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

Hi and welcome.

Dremels and dremel type tools are for hobbyists and modelmakers. They have little use in DIY.

A good cordless drill is useful for diy and for prescision drilling a bench drill is recommended.

If you intend drilling a lot of masonry, then a SDS drill is recommended-
