There's no place like home

The MultiPro Rotary Tool from Dremel is a good product for sanding, cutting, drilling and routing.

If you agree with nearly nine out of 10 people who think of their home as a "private retreat," then you are probably concerned with the appearance of your home. In fact, according to a recent RoperASW report, people plan to increase their home improvement spending by 39 percent this year.

Because more time is spent inside during the colder months, homeowners find this an ideal time to tackle indoor home improvement projects that increase household comfort. A recent RoperASW study concurs. When considering staying in, seven out of 10 adults factor in the comfort of their home.

Give your home a personal touch and yourself the gratification of knowing you completed home improvement projects on your own. To help get you started, Dremel has home improvement ideas for novice and expert do-it-yourselfers.

Projects begin with the selection of a tool. If it's speed and versatility you're looking for, the MultiPro Rotary Tool from Dremel is a good choice. Whether your project calls for sanding, cutting, drilling or routing, the MultiPro can work for you in any room of the house. If it's mobility you require, try the 9.6 volt Cordless MultiPro Tool. This tool is great for hard-to-reach places or for taking out to the garage or backyard. Add a few new attachments and complete these tasks with ease:

  • Cut wood to install a vent or paneling. Use the new Mini Saw Attachment to make clean, quarter-inch perpendicular cuts. Perfect for heating-vent installation or minor redecorating projects. 
  • Hide wires behind a baseboard. Pair the redesigned Flex Shaft Attachment and carbide sanding band with a Dremel rotary tool to sand a recessed area into your baseboard for hiding wires.
  • Remove grout from a shower. The Grout Removal Attachment Kit removes grout up to 3/8-inch below the tile surface, making this time- intensive job quicker and easier. The result is a shower that looks like new.
  • Install cabinet lighting. When working in a poorly lit area such as a dark cabinet, try the DREMELite with a Dremel rotary tool. Use the added light and a drill bit to make precise mounting holes.

With more than 150 attachments and accessories, Dremel has the tools you need for the job. For more information on Dremel products, project ideas and tips, visit us on the Internet at www.dremel.com . Consumers may also call (800) 437-3635.
