Dremel Flexishaft - Didnt know I needed one!

[Richard10002]

My joiner built me a staircase, but skimped on the support for the steps, so I'm adding some support.

Couldnt get a drill close enough to the underside of the steps so after cocking up one step, I bit the bullet and went to B & Q to look for the shortest drill I could find.

Plumped for a Dremel 300 with accessories, and the way the thing was displayed, I had no way of knowing what the accessories were.

Anyway, when I opened the box, I find that one of the accessories is a flexishaft attachment which has an even shorter, and narrower head than the Dremel itself:

£49.95 from B & Q.

or if you've got a dremel, here's the flexishaft on its' own:

I couldn have done this job, as well as I have, without it, and I'm sure it will have a million uses on board Rogue - getting at all those inaccessible spots - and I didnt even know I was buying it.

Funny how some things work out

The best attachment for hard to access places is, without doubt, to be attached to the designer. It's half a pound of semtex and a remote detonator.

I once used a flexible drive with a wire brush. It jammed and then flailed violently. Never again.
