3M Scotch Freezer Tape has High Adhesive Strength
For years I've been using this tape on any unmarked container that goes into our freezer. It is about the same thickness, and tears with the same ease, as masking tape, but it sticks more firmly to non-porous plastic surfaces and to butcher paper. It takes pencil marks, but I always use marker.
I frequently turn to freezer tape for other uses where I want extra holding strength and longevity.

Wen Rotary Tool with Flex Shaft
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this Wen tool for my studio, which is not in my home but at a local art center. I have a Dremel at home, which I use frequently for grinding and shaping small,parts and tools.
The Wen has good power, and the flex shaft may come in useful at some point, but all I have done so far is to try it out to insure that it works OK.
The tool has a variable speed control, which goes from a crawl (with little torque) to a usable range of mid- and high-speed outputs.
The kit came in a plastic case, which, as is often the case, is too small once the power cord has been unfurled. Included in the case was a plastic box containing various collets (chucks) and grinding and polishing attachments.
I would rate this tool excellent, but it does have one flaw, which is that the brass collets (which are slightly too large to fit my Dremel) do not fit shafts smaller than one-eighth inch. They do not fit the two small drills included in the box. Moreover, any tool with a long shaft will not be well-supported by these brass collets, resulting in the base if the shaft getting out of parallel with the motor shaft. This causes the working end of the drill, grindstone, or whatever, to rotate off-center, causing chatter. The only cure I can see is to have a tool that barely protrudes beyond the chuck.
