Anyone who is a repeat visitor to my website knows that I have always been a fan of the Dremel multitool range and have used their tools and accessories for many years. With the introduction of the Tork Craft Mini Rotary Tool, I was given the opportunity to try out the various rotary tools and accessories and was impressed with the results. There wasn't any difference between the Dremel and Tork Craft tools and some of the Tork Craft accessories were better than those in the Dremel range. I know that there will be some die-hard Dremel fans out there shaking their heads but the fact is why you should pay far more for a tool when you can get the same quality at a fraction of the price.
Quality - Value for Money
From a quality point of view, I have been using my Tork Craft rotary tool for just as long as I have been using the Dremel multitool so the question of value for money is met when you consider that the Tork Craft rotary tool only costs around R700 (tool only) while the Dremel 4250 costs from R2000 upwards.
Range of Tools and Accessories
Tork Craft only offers one model that offers the range 8000 - 35000 rpm while Dremel have the 4250 and 8220 models that achieve the same high speed. On the accessory side, Tork Craft has an extended range of accessories that compares to the Dremel range of accessories, Still, these are far more affordable for the average DIY, hobby or craft enthusiast. Additionally, Tork Craft offers a complete kit that contains a wide selection of often-used accessories at a price one would expect to pay for a single Dremel accessory.
