Dremel or cannon?

[Counterstriker]

I am debating.. Should I build a modded sprinkler valve cannon or buy a dremel.. I want to make the cannon but I know hiw useful the dremel will come in.. (Using 70 bucks)

Sorry if you think this topic is dumb but there none other like it.

Thanks!

Ok thanks! That's all I needed to want me to buy it.

Word to the wise...don't get a battery operated one...go for the plug in...they are much more powerful...

I bought a battery operated one and kind of regret it after using a corded one...

Wise advise! I like the 1/4hp Pony model with flex shaft and foot tredel speed control, nice!

Why not get both?
Dremel -- $25-$39
I use the Dremel 395 Multipro. I bought 10 and received a discount at $21 a piece.

Mod the sprinkler valve yourself.
3/4" Sprinkler valve -- $10-$15
Blowgun -- $6-$9
1/4" NPT fitting -- ~$1.50

2" Sch40 NSF-PW PVC 5' -- ~$3.00
3/4" Sch40 NSF-PW PVC 5' -->$3.00

Fittings I would use.

Chamber(all Sch40 NSF-PW) -->$7
2" endcap
2" coupler
2" to 3/4" reducing bushing
3/4" threaded adapter

Barrel (Sch40 NSF-PW)
3/4" threaded adapter -- $1.50

Cleaner and Primer -- ~$7.50
Teflon tape -- >$1

In my area it would be about $90 max for everything. I also live in one of the higher priced places in the US. With some creative shopping you should be able to have enough leftover for a pop and a candy bar. I would have enough for a IPA at the pub.

[Jared Haehnel]

One word of warning. Don't dig too deep when you're using the highest speed. I broke an internal gear on my dad's Dremel, and he was PISSED!
