No, but we have a nearly 30 year old Dremel that still basically
works.  I think we've changed the brushes...once :-)

It now has a newer twin.  What I dislike about the newer model is
that it lacks the low-end torque the original unit has...or at least
it sure seems that way; might just be a better speed controller on
the older unit. Then again, the newer unit doesn't get very, very
warm during operation :-)
