We're a fan of SOG folding knives such as the Flash II, but and their multi-tool knives are also built of the same high quality and in particular their Paratool offers a feature not seen on any other multi-tool knife.
Not only does the Paratool feature 15 tools, it also has a multiple angled plier which is extremely useful to access nuts and bolts in tight places. It can operate at a variety of angles from 140-180 degrees. We also love the ventilated grip handles which have a nice smooth texture but don't feel like they'd slip at all.
Dremel has a unique distinction within the tool industry as being a undisputed leader in its class with no real challengers. When you need a Dremel you need a Dremel and sometimes its hard to imagine working without one.
We recently tested the latest their latest product the Dremel 8200 12V cordless rotary tool. This bad boy runs on a lithium-ion battery and its heft and solid construction portray an extremely solid and durable tool.
The Good
The cordless convenience of this tool was extremely helpful. Jobs that require a Dremel are often fine tuning and require maximum movement and are to work with and it's nice to know that with this tool you won't get tangled up.
The variable speed switch is easy to use and many times with multi-speed switches we like cranking it up but this one was so powerful that we felt more comfortable testing it at lower RPM's. It's capable of spinning from 5,000 to 30,000 RPM.
