Creating impressive case mods requires not only skills but also the right set of tools. In a new article dedicated to modding, Bit Tech takes a look at essential tools for modders, you can read it

Dremel
It’s difficult to talk about Dremel’s rotary tool (often referred to now as just a Dremel) without going all mushy. Yes, they haven’t lasted well in the past, but recent models are far more enduring. With that out of the way, you simply can’t match this jack of all trades when it comes to flexibility. Some have made entire cases using just a Dremel and a select few attachments.
Our favourite attachments are the cutting disc (invaluable for cutting short to medium lengths of thin material), engraving and routing tips (great for engraving and cutting inset sections in soft materials), along with grinding and sanding tips (awesome at sanding down the edges of newly-cut metal and plastics).
