with New Dremel 3000

Corded rotary tool helps consumers tackle their to-do lists

MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill., July 18, 2011 – For the two-thirds of American homeowners planning to tackle a home improvement project in 2011*, their to-do lists just got easier thanks to a new Dremel® tool hitting store shelves this fall. The Dremel 3000, a revamped version of the brand’s staple rotary tool, the Dremel 300 Series, features key upgrades that enhance the tool’s comfort and functionality, offering users a clear solution for do-it-yourself, hobby and craft project needs.

“The Dremel 3000’s easy handling and sleek design haves made it a staple in my workshop,” said expert craftsman Chip Wade of HGTV’s “Curb Appeal: The Block” and “Designed to Sell.” “The EZ Twist nose cap makes accessory changes a snap, so I’ve found myself reaching for the tool often when I need to make a quick material modification.”

The Dremel 3000 makes over the brand’s most popular rotary tool, featuring innovative, user-requested upgrades to the tool’s design, function and ergonomics. The tool also features the brand’s first EZ Twist™ nose cap design, featuring an integrated wrench that allows the nose cap to be used as a wrench to tighten accessories and eliminates the need for a separate wrench. The tool is shorter than its predecessor, the Dremel 300 Series, while achieving a 1.2 amp rating to provide users with even more control for precision and detailed work.

Combined with a more efficient fan design and side vents to provide a cooler running tool, the Dremel 3000’s low noise and vibration offers users a comfortable tool experience for extended periods of time. The tool also features a new industrial and symmetrical design including a trumpet-shaped nose cap to facilitate a pencil grip tool hold. The Dremel 3000 is ideal for applications including cutting, grinding, sanding, carving and polishing a variety of materials.

The Dremel 3000 will be available beginning in September at most hardware stores and home improvement centers nationwide for a SRP of $55 to $75 USD and $69 to $89 CAD.
