Tools To Use

Pit Tool Profiles:
In stock car racing, pit crews are limited to two wrenches, one jack and two gas cans. In Dremel-empowered derby car racing, you have a few more options. With over 10 tools, more than 20 attachments and no fewer than 150 accessories available from the Dremel brand, you should have everything you need to develop your car and support it on race day. Here are a few Dremel derby crew all-stars:

• 

  The “Gas Man”:
  The Dremel 7.2 Volt Cordless

  Imagine if a tire changer didn’t have to drag an air hose with him on every pit stop – yeah, it’s kinda like that. Perfect for race-day tweaks at the track, this battery-powered pro is perfect for prep work as well as impromptu jobs away from the “garage.”

  • Two speeds, 10,000 and 20,000 rpm, to match the proper speed required
  • Removable battery pack to let you use additional packs for continuous use
  • Three-hour charger with LED light indicating proper charging
  • Compact and lightweight for easier handling and less fatigue
  • Two-year limited warranty

  The “Utility”:
  The Dremel 300 Series

  With plenty of races under its belt, this is not the Dremel 300 tool’s first rodeo, err, race. You can trust this workhorse to tackle just about any job you throw at it – just don’t wait until the second half of the race to bring it in.

  The “Crew Chief”:
  The Dremel 4000 High-Performance Rotary Tool

  Capable of handling any rotary tool job you throw in its direction, this may not be the most seasoned member of our pit crew, but it is certainly the burliest and most talented. It’s like a small-block Chevy – able to power anything and do a good job of it.

  • High-performance motor for maximum performance at all speeds
  • Electronic feedback for consistent speed under load
  • Variable speed to provide maximum control and precision
  • Separate on/off switch and speed control dial for the perfect speed every time
