Review on Dremel EZ406 02 Cut Off Mandrel Cutting by Tim Burns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic tool suitable for cutting discs

Fantastic little tool. I had to cut off two rusty garden hose anti-siphon valves. One problem is that you can brute force twist a real breastplate coming out of the wall, now big trouble. My air compressor hose reached a valve so I started cutting and finished grinding in less than 30 seconds! Second, I would have to use my portable drill, which is much slower. I foresaw a long and difficult task; NO! It took 1-2 minutes and everything was ready. A pair of pliers, or better yet, some channel locks, and you pull back the small cut-off part, using the main body as a second "bite" area, and it comes off like soft clay. You can check it out on your favorite video site that shows how to do it. I've now fitted new Valterra A01-0141VP anti-siphon valves, also from Revain, and they work much better than the originals. Doesn't leak, easy to install and remove as they are well made of plastic. That means no corrosion and no set screw rusting on the hose barb! Much luck.
