You might want to contact Dremel’s customer service and see if they can repair it. They may offer to replace it for you.
The on/off switch wore out on my first Dremel. I contacted their customer service, to see about getting it repaired, which they would have done, free of charge, by the way. I would only have had to pay to ship it to them. They wound up replacing it, because though it was the same model (a single-speed), the current version had been modified enough, that it couldn’t be repaired. They sent me the current version as a replacement, at no charge.
I’ve been modelling for 44 years now and have had many Dremel products.
My absolute, must have, go to tool is a Dremel Stylus;
Unfortunately the IDIOTS at Dremel stopped making the most user friendly and ergonomic tool they ever made.
Long run time and fits in your hand perfectly for precise control. I have 2 of them, 1 with a mini chuck that I use as a pin vise. Unfortunately they are no longer $45.00, now there on EBay for around $200.00.
There is a knock-off called a Genesis GLHT72-65 that sortof looks like it, but I don’t know the quality/performance.
