Hell yeah! YOu can do anything with a dremel tool! I just used one to make a slot for a flat tip screw driver to take out a bolt.

Ive polised wheels...
stripped paint...
made a hole in a speaker box....
there are many uses. For the $40 it costs, its well worth the investment!

would i be able to use it on the outside of the hf manifold to sooth out the rust and ---- ... make it lok all perty withough damaging it? it wont be more prone to cracks or anything will it

how bout smoothing out and cleaning/polishing up a block a little?? would it do that?? or is there a better tool for stuff like that?

Dr.Boost

Dremels suck for large jobs. I wouldn't even consider polishing a rim with one. That could take weeks. For small jobs, they kick ***. I've had mine for like 6 years and I've used the ---- out of it. Well worth the money. They make hundereds of bits for them.

so what kind of tool would you use for a larger job

Chacko

You would be far better off renting an air compressor and getting an air tool to do the work of the dremmel. Dremmel's are just so weak, and got hot when you run them at higher RPMs. They're not very efficient for polishing.

but they cut plastic good, wood alittle, youy cna engrave your stuff! i use the metal cutting bit and it works damn good for what it is.

how long would u estimate it would take to port out a hf mani with a dremel vs an air tool??

robert95civic

Buy the dremel! The uses are endless and not just for your car. I swear by my dremel. I ported and polished my entire head with a dremel. But the Dr. is right, for large jobs the Dremel isn't going to be the best choice. There is always going to be a bigger or better (more expensive) tool for a job. The dremel is very cost effective and has hundreds of attachments. When (if) you come upon a job too big for the dremel rent what you need.
