Dremel needs new home. Like a homeless dog minus the poop.
Hey SRN!
In a bolt of stupid inspiration I decided to wrap my Christmas presents in duct tape. Cannot recommend. My gifts came out like sad, skinned, little creatures and most of all: competely unreturnable.
Sooooo. I tried give my mom* a battery driven Dremmel 7700 for Christmas but she already had one. So I thought one of you might want it? It's completely unused, still in its original, flawless box. Fuck, it might even pass for a collectible.
US adapter, runs on 120V. DM me your address and I'll pick someone at random-ish ⚡️
*MY MOM JUST BECAME A PATREON! Mom, are you there? I know you're lurking somewhere in the comments. Say hi if you see her, she's a pretty magnificent being.

You’re great
Aw you're awesome!
You've made my life better with your talent and humour - you go girl!😘
Its a double negative they cancel each other out :( sad fact of life
I can vouch for Dremels. They are fun, oddly soothing to work with and infinitely customizable with different tips!
Do you still have this? I would love it!
Yo Lawrence, thats creepy, yo!
120V... Attans... :-/
I would have no idea how to properly use it. Now doesn't that sound like more fun than somebody knowing what the hell they're doing?
Nice way to end this year! Happy new year!
Happy New Year Queen!
Im not sure I could need one but then again I know my dad has one from like the 80s he got at radio shack ..id bet he would love a upgrade
I'm here. I'm always here. I'm the "Lurking in the Comments Fairy". Sorta.
Hi Simone's mom! 👋😬
I want it, not just because of its low torque goodness... But because it was yours...
Hello Simone's mum :)
Hello SImone and Simone's mother. I have a question. How are you deciding to give it away? Is there going to be a contest or is it a random name/hat thing? Also, how cool does the dremel make you? Is it sunglasses at night cool or leather jacket while smoking a cigar cool? Because I need help in that department. I guess you can say, I need Kool-aid?
My Dremel just died on me..... I'd give it a good home. :)
(I can't blame it for dying.... I was trying to use it to cut slots into screws that were rusted into place and I pushed it a bit too far. It owed me nothing.)
Masking or painters tape works OK for some gifts. It sticks well enough to most wrapping paper.
My friend just did this. It's especially great for recipients who hate tearing the paper!
I asked my girlfriend for one but I'm pretty sure she didn't buy me one because she has no idea what it is. I'll find out when I get back to the States in mid January.
I would love to have one for my cosplay projects and home DIY💖
Awesome!! I got one for Christmas!!!
Will there be an autograph of you on the Dremel? 😁
Was it festive duct tape?
Omg! It could be friend with my jigsaw :) (the first tool I purchased when leaving the family home!)
Hello Simone and Mother!
Wow your mom like handcrafting too? Sounds like your family means creativity XD
Aww i hope the dremmel finds a loving home! i already have one myself that needs lots of care... I hope you've upgraded already! wouldnt like to think your lacking such a vital tool. P.s Hello Mama Giertz, youve raised a wonderful daugther you must be proud :3
FYI for those of you wanting to send a message via Patreon, at the top-right corner is your avatar... click that then Messages. You can send her a message that way, or, go to the Overview part of this page, then there's a "... More." Click that then "Message." Good luck all!
Hahaha I just got the same one for Christmas, I really like it
Where do I post my address?
What an awesome giveaway! :) Hope this will help out a maker in need :) good luck everyone! :)
It's a shame your mom didn't fancy the idea of dual wielding Dremels. That would be pretty badass. "GRIND ALL THE THINGS!"
I for one welcome our new duct tape overlords. Dremel FTW
PSA you can message Simone on Patreon. Not 100% sure how to do it from the website, but from the app follow these directions. On the bottom nav bar click on your account, in the account menu click on messages. When you are in the message menu you will see a tiny +. Click on that. Click on Simone's picture and you can draft your message. Now no one do any of that so I can win that Dremel.
Not on Twitter so can't take part which is a shame. I have a few projects where a Dremel would be handy. Stuart McConnel's idea of cling film before duct tape might work. I'm tempted to have a go with a couple of gifts I have for people I haven't yet seen this holiday season. I will report back
I just bought a Cocraft HMD 150, you know us peasants of shitty robots can't really afford brand-tools.
Hrm... just occurred to me, wrapping in cling film (saran wrap, whatever you call it) before wrapping in duct tape might fix that problem.
oh man, my dremel JUST died! is this DM on twitter or...? Cause I can't send a DM to your twitter account.
Would love to get it, but not tooo sure where to DM you, so I just did that on instgram :)
SRQ, since patreon ask for our address, wouldn't you have access to that info for the giveaway?
had no idea. omg I know so much now.
That's a pretty rad christmas gift. Lucky whoever gets it.
Does it work with the drill press? I'm SF based and would love some SRQ regalia
Hey Simone! I actually prefer my presents to look like sad, skinned little creatures so I guess I would be the perfect patreon to be selected 😝. Seriously though I would absolutely love to have a dremel! I only recently started makin' stuff and am trying to expand my tool collection as much as possible. I live in the Bay Area if that makes delivery any easier. Happy new year!
Says I can't DM that account. Bummer, free stuff rocks, free stuff with electric motors even more so.
I bet they looked great wrapped in duct tape though haha. I already have a Dremel, but hope you find a friendly home for it :) (Btw, don't mean to be a dick about it, but I think we're called patrons without the 'e') Oh... and Hi Caroline!
I've been wanting one for so long
Oh oh! I'll give it a good home and clean up after it. I've been finishing my 3D prints with nail files. It works but it's gotten old quick.
What's a DM?
Sure, maybe. If you need some shitty software written in exchange I'm a mediocre professional software developer who could help you out. ... And I don't have Twitter so I can't DM you so no dremel for me. But the offer still stands. :-)
