Just switched from using cable cutters to a dremel for housing

After ruining my 5th pair of Park cutters on some cheap housing last month, I grabbed my dremel with a thin cutoff wheel and it's way cleaner cuts with no fraying, has anyone else made that swap or found another trick?

Just get a cheap harbor freight rotary tool so you don't gunk up your good one.

Honestly, I get where parkera22 is coming from. I use my good pro grade Dremel for the fine stuff like engraving or cutting circuit boards and I don't want to mess it up. A couple years ago I picked up one of those cheap $10 Harbor Freight ones for when I have to grind down a rusty bolt or cut through a piece of thick drywall. That thing gets caked in dust and grit and I don't care what happens to it. It's been dropped a couple times and it still works for the rough jobs. Keeps my nice one clean for when I actually need precision.

Gunk up your good one"? What kind of crap are you doing that's going to wreck a Dremel? I've had the same one for 10 years and it's fine.
