Beijing lu electronics market
Its on the left hand side if you are heading towards the Bund.

Address - Sai Ge Electronic Market,No.668 Beijing Dong Lu, Huang Pu District.

There are a couple of larger electronics markets on Beijing lu, but thats probably your best bet.

B&Q is more hardware, not electronics. I'd go to the Beijing lu place, its an electronics market. There is another one across the road almost too. Definitely can find what you need there.

the only one's i found are either faked , or some similar chinese branded
I don't trust the faked and the chinese ones, and i'm sure some of the more advanced accessories won't fit.

I've seen real dremel's at Qiu Jiang lu of all places. I'm sure they're s/hand though.

Bao Shan lu metro station, walk up to the s/hand market, and scout out all the hardware stores (about 4 or 5 on the street sell random stuff).

I'll see if I can see one when I'm down there next doing my usual craphunting/repairs expedition.

Or just buy it on taobao.

http://search1.taobao.com/browse/0/t-95 ... opsearch=1

People selling them in zhejiang, so you can buy it, and have it by Monday.
(Note that most of them are US ones, so you'll need a 110->240 adaptor (usually another 100-150 for something that will handle the wattage you need).

Originals ?

i have seen them even fake the package , all i found on taobao are faked also.
easiest way to find out if theyre faked is check for the speed settings, all the faked ones got 5 speed where the originila got 10.

they have also the fremel asseciores ? Flexible shaft and some original enchanced cutting disks wopuld be great :)

They look real to me, and for the pricing, i would buy one and see. 100-200rmb isn't going to kill you.

This guy has ones that appear to be the real deal:

If you need assistance using taobao, let me know, I have an account, and you can pickup from my office if I order for you.

Cheers,

Lawrence.

http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/27-5 ... f9e2.jhtml


see this ..... it's not the real deal , jsut 5 speeds if zou zoom in :) i have seen this , just without the toolbox.
as i said , i had some bad experience with a rotary tool , i rather pay the upscale price for the real deal , instead of risk my life with this faked tools ;)

anyway i will think over if i won't get one sometime soon.

your office is near to my living place so it might be an options.
a real box with the flex shaft and other stuff should be about 800-1000 rmb
