are the Dremel and Ryobi Rotary hobby tool accessories interchangeable?
ie can I use Dremel accessories on my Ryobi 130 watt Rotary Hobby tool.

Hi @Kiwipeter,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.
If you can, could you confirm the exact model number of your Ryobi tool, as that will make it easier to give you a definite answer? I am assuming it is the https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-essential-rotary-tool-rrt090_p0456165 , but thought I should double check.
If so, the RRT090 comes with a 3.2mm collet and a 1.6mm collet, which allow for the use of different sized bits.
In general, both Dremel and Ryobi rotary tools commonly use a 1/8" (3.2 mm) shank, so a lot of the standard accessories are interchangeable between the two brands.
Also worth noting, there are actually quite a few Ryobi rotary accessories available through the Bunnings NZ website, including full kits, burrs, sanding sets and polishing gear, so it might be worth having a look online as we can definitely order and ship them to you.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Ok i am very new here so assume i reply to jacob here.
Thanks for your advice. My handtool is quite old. I will see if it actually still have a model number. It serves me well. I am disabled and my hobby is Meccano
.in the course of this hoɓby i need ti recondition older parts which sometimes involves cutting and grinding broken ends and sharp ends. As well as sanding rust. One my major problems of course is my nearest store is a Trade store in pukekohe which i assume i can not shop at because it is trade.
Anyway i will look for the model number today if i am able. And many thanks for at least repling.

Morning @Kiwipeter
Just a stab in the dark - this model? (fits all Dremel/Ryobi/generic branded accessories).
Regards the Mitre10 Trade Centre. Order online - delivery to your store - you pick it up. Have you talked to them? Otherwise do what Jacob has suggested.
Cheers.
In my experience, Ryobi runs the same shaft size as Dremel and the Dremel bits should be compatible with your machine. Always best to double-check the shaft size on any bits you have at the moment and compare. Regarding our Trade stores, they are open to the general public as well, so no issues shopping at Bunnings Pukekohe. However, they typically carry a smaller range of products. They do have some Dremel accessories, but the range is limited.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ok Model is CRT150K and has a 3.2 and a 2.4 collet RYOBI
Thanks Mitchell
Pukekohe Trade would be far easier for me. I really need cutting parts.
Noyade Thanks for the info. NOT sure location of Mitre 10 Trade centre. Being disabled Travelling's a bit of a problem. Do you mean Mega store.. which would be Pukekohe.
I went to the local Mitre 10 store in Waiuku over the weekend. They were totally unhelpful to say the least.
Seem to have no idea where I could get parts and didn't seem to know a thing…
Regards Peter
Dremel uses a 3.2mm shaft, so the accessories will fit in your Ryobi. As I mentioned, the Trade stores carry a limited range, so it would be best to phone the store to see if they have what you need before travelling there.
