Dremel
American trademark known for angle grinders
Dremel ( DREM-əl) is a multinational brand of power tools, focusing on home improvement and hobby applications. Dremel is known primarily for its rotary tools, such as the Dremel 3000, 4000 and 8200 series, which are similar to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers. Dremel later expanded its product range and now produces butane tools, benchtop and hand-held saws and oscillating tools. The company was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH in 1993, and is now a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation.
History
Dremel die grinder tools were originally developed by Albert J. Dremel, an Austrian inventor, who founded the Dremel Company in Racine, Wisconsin, US in 1932. Dremel held 55 patents across a wide range of inventions. His first product, released within the company, was an electric razor-blade sharpener. Dremel then developed the high-speed lightweight rotary tool, later named the Dremel Multitool, for which the company continues to be known.
In the 1940s, the United States Department of Defense reportedly used Dremel rotary tools during the development of the first atomic bomb.
In 2013, Dremel claimed that there were more than 17 million of their rotary tools in use.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
