Hey all.

I'm looking for a type of hand tool for abrasive cleaning, polishing and small other simple things on my Motorbike, what do you guys use for such like jobs?

I don't want to splash out on something all singing dancing to sit on the shed shelf, but equally Don't want something I can't use as the battery lasts 20 mins or breaks.

Oh and cordless is a must.

I've looked on eBay but its a mine field

Probably just be better off biting the bullet and getting the dremel, They often come in quite handy for little jobs around the house as well.

They are rip off merchants though as they seem to charge silly prices for anything extra your likely to buy

So if I buy the Dremel, I am then deemed to buy their accessories, or are they fairly interchangeable?

Ive loads of power tools now, and its getting out of hand storing them, but I don't mind buying another gud'en if I'll use it often.

Would buying accessories for my cordless drill be an option, or are these Dremels simply more ergonomic and lighter to use?

What type of drill do you have? If you have a decent RPM electric one I would give that a go first with some accessories before you go splashing out againTBH

dremel rocks, and you are not locked into dremel accessories

I got mine out of BQ on offer £30
Go to maplins and get the 400 piece accessorary kit normally £19.99 half price £9.99
Will keep you going for ages and cheaper then dremmel bits

Very easy to handle and a lot lighter then a drill with bits on

If it's only for occasional use, check out ebay: I got a drill kit, 240V, mind, but with loads of accessories plus a long flexible drive to another chuck, plus stand for under £50.

Fein multimaster

Fein multimaster is a little ott for my requirements. I only want to to clean the bike and get into thos awkward areas.

I've had some B&Q products in the past, and they have quite frankly amazed me how good/long they ave lasted. I bought a heavy duty drill from them 10 years ago (challenge rings a bell), pointed, knocked off plaster and render, and used it for mixing bonding and plaster with it for three houses and its still going strong with only a set of bushes needing replacing which actually came with it

I've a few dewalt and makita products now, but a small handheld would be useful
