I love them and got so many from past and current hobbies I can't recall them all, but here goes.
2 regular, 1 cordless/rechargeable, 2 routers, vise, drill press, and countless attachments.
How about you all?

Yep, I use at work and home. I have ONE and a boatload of attachments (too many to list). I use the EZ lock cutoff wheels A LOT. They work well on 304SS where precision cuts are essential and a angle grinder with Diablo cutoff wheel is not.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I own a cordless but just haven't found the time to use it much. I do use it when doing fine detail work on furniture that I am refinishing or when shaping handles on custom knives.

@berndcrisp. I'm sure your fondness for rotary tools stems from the hobbies they are used for. What are you doing with them?
I've got three of them, but since i don't employ them for fun purposes, I only see them as a handy tool.

I've done this more than a few times. Great way to lose an eye, so watch out!

I've only got two. The one I use most often since it is so handy attached to this swing out arm which puts the Dremel right over that green vise where I hold whatever I'm cutting or drilling.

Folks got me the "Sears" version in, what, 1972 or so? Used it constantly (was a big model builder, and very useful to a weekend musician too). The locking mechanism finally snapped 2 years ago, got a rechargeable Dremel then (very handy!)

Not so much dremel, but I’m a recent fan of the Kreg stuff.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Not obsessed, but I do own one and occasionally I need something done that only the dremel can accomplish.Upstate SC

Dremel and kreg are nice. I never take this off my dremel.

@eggjlmh why would you flag me for this? I really never use my dremel without that. Plug I use my kreg jigs a lot this was a week or 2 ago repurposed my old xl egg table for a picnic table for the chitlins.

The chucks locked up on the last two that I owned so I could not loosen them to get my bits out. I stripped the locking mechanism on the cordless and broke the corded chuck trying to free them.

I remember starting out with Dremel tools...now I use Festool! Built in Germany and craftsmanship is amazing.

Oh I hear you. Since I have owned and regularly use a Delta 10" Unisaw for 34 years and have yet had an incident. I find the SawStop overkill with the $2,300 price tag for Joe Hobbyist/Woodworker!

The table saw is a Powermatic 2000. Bought it from the High School (1 year old) when all the schools went to Saw Stops. Had a Delta Unisaw for 30 years, so this is a step up. Never had a saw accident in 62 years, so the Saw Stops don’t appeal to me!

This is a dremel before Dremel. It's a Power Kraft from Montgomery Ward I inherited from my Dad. It's all metal and quite heavy. It's missing a brush cap so my Dad fixed it in place with electrical tape. I use my Dremel and look at this and wonder why I have it.Flint, Michigan

I've only had one tablesaw accident, when I was building office trailers for a living. Cutting a 2x4 lengthwise for some 1x2's (we ran out), no splitter, and the board twisted and kicked back.
A tablesaw is 36" tall, from the floor. I have a 37" inseam. Oof-dah._____________Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

Small hijack here. This is me in 2015 after a tablesaw kickback. I have a cleft chin now.Flint, Michigan -
The newer pro line saws now have Riving Knives behind the blade. I have not experienced a kick back since. Even my Festool Track Saw has one. If your older saw can be retrofitted with a riving knive, I highly recommend it!
