The Best Tool You Don't Have

A quick video about my new favorite tool in the workshop. It completely changed the way I work with my electric hand tools!

Can I ask what rotary tool and attachments you are using here? Never even thought of a pedal so thank you for the tip :) would love to see more videos like this.

Just came across your video after about 2 days of searching youtube to find out if i can use a foot pedal with my dremel and there is videos but nothing that actually shows it working so i just wanted to say thank you and great video you have given me the confidence to get one instead of spending an obscene amount of money on something like a foredom as i very nearly did. yours was the last video i planned on watching before giving in. So again thank you very much for your video.

Okay you have me convinced. I want to begin somewhere with electronics, and I think after learning the basics, this would be a nice and useful first project !

[man-great]

zibartas, your ideas can be very usful to upgrade any existing production

[RafAteu]

Thank You, this video helped me a lot. I've been looking for this for a long time.

[WuTangChopstick]

When will you make Tesla Coil ? You can do a lot of cool stuff with that thing!

Thanks for the tip! I am a software engineer with some embedded programming experience. Cosplay seems like a cool hobby for me to get into, and I will definitely take a look at adding this to my new home office.

Wow i never considered, or knew about this :O thank you for sharing!

[moonolyth]

Never even thought about using it for more than my Chinese Foredom copy. I'm building a glass cutter now and need a heat control switch for nichrome wire, perhaps this will work.

[Cvine]

That's super cool, thanks for sharing <3

[kbuss]

bro can you try it with a black and decker angle grinder? mine has a power outage protection so it switches off at a certain voltage, it did not work with a dimmer for example (didnt start)

[stevec]

I've been looking for a video just like this but do you have a link for like eBay or something to where I can buy the exact foot pedal cuz that's what I've been trying to find

[felixf]

Actually, I have a box where I keep identical pedals. They came with some of my pendant motors. Compared to a genuine Foredom pedal, the Chinese one offers poor control.

[woodyoulove-reynaldguibone]

Is it safe to use pedal with any rotary tool?

[PBGAMINGS]

Bro i dont find this products i want to buy this help me

[joshhayl]

🟦 The FCT-1 foot pedal is only capable of handling 4-amps!...if you use it with a heat gun of 1000 to 1500 watts you will burn out the pedal.

[moonolyth]

Wanted to add I have a video on the electric switch and how it works. I also show how to finetune the spring to give you so much more control it's like night and day. The electric board cuts of about 2/3 into the movement than it runs full-on. (you can get the switch itself for about 14bucks)
