A rotary tool is one of the most versatile additions you can make to your home tool kit. Depending on the bit you use, a rotary tool can cut through hardwood, softwood, drywall, plastic, aluminum, steel, brick, tile and concrete. It can also drill, grind, sand and carve with precision, and in tighter spaces than most other tools. The latest rotary tools have plenty of power and even more importantly, power control. Variable speed adjustments from 5,000 to 35,000 RPMs let you work on harder or softer materials, and allow you to be more aggressive or detailed.

It’s important to have the right bit for your rotary tool for the task at hand. Cut-off wheels, mandrels and spiral plunge-cutting bits can all be used for cutting various materials. For drilling you’ll want a diamond coated or high-speed steel drill bit. Multiple round and pointed grinding wheels can be found in shanked and shankless formats. You can even use your rotary tool for cleaning and polishing with various brushes, felt wheels and cloth wheels. For immediate multi-functionality, consider a rotary tool kit that comes complete with the tool, bits and accessories. Specialized rotary tools are also available. A rotary saw eliminates the need to drill pilot holes, while a rotary hammer provides more impact power than a hammer drill.
