Stumbled across a small nail file rotary tool at the Dollar Tree this morning. Haven't got to test it on mold lines yet, but there was a similar tool from there over a decade ago that worked okay on minis so hopefully this budget option will be worthwhile (heck, it's $1.25 USD). I'll post my findings after I have some. |

It's pretty good at making short work of mold lines on plastic. Straight line areas are the best results but it can get into some more intricate parts with care. I think it will save a little time compared to a file. For the price I think it's worth a try (you'll need to get a AA battery too if you don't have any). |

I don't see it on the Dollar Tree website. What is it called exactly? |

It's Sassy+Chic Electronic Nail kit. I found it on Ebay- auction
Maybe it's too new to be on the Dollar Tree site yet? |

Went to two DT's before I found one. I have a mini power grinder & the grinder bits to that also fit the DT tool 
The only 'problem' was that the screw holding the battery cover on stripped the hole & wouldn't come out, but once it was removed, the cover stays on fine by itself.
Now I just need to find something to try it on… ;-) |
