Dremel die grinder tools were originally developed by Albert J. Dremel, an Austrian inventor, who founded the Dremel Company in Racine, Wisconsin, US in 1932.[3] Dremel held 55 patents across a wide range of inventions. His first product, released within the company, was an electric razor-blade sharpener. Dremel then developed the high-speed lightweight rotary tool, later named the Dremel Multitool, for which the company continues to be known.
In 1948, Dremel gave his employees a 3% year-end share of profits. Dremel died on 18 July 1968 at the age of 81.
In late 2008, Dremel released an oscillating tool, after the patent for the FeinMultimaster had run out. Dremel's version of the tool is called the Multi-Max.[9]
