Cordless rotary tools
Traditionally, most rotary tools used to have a cord, but nowadays, this is changing. One can now get a cordless rotary tool that has no cord, and which is equally effective. These devices are fast, and their performances are superb. The fact that most cordless rotary tools have a motor, whose strength is increased, means that their maximum performance is high, and is their rotations per minute.
When looking for cordless rotary tool, it is good to opt for one that has an ergonomic body, so that it can be provide a 300 degree rip zone, for one to operate in any position. Since cordless rotating tools have no cord extending from the instrument, to the power source, they make use of batteries to power them. A good battery ought to be made of lithium ion, and should last long before being recharged. In fact most of these batteries have the ability to retain charge for up to 3years while stored. The good thing about most battery-operated revolving gear is that they have a separate on and off switch, as well as control units for controlling speed. This means that one can easily adjust the instrument and set the required speed. They also have ball bearings that are well installed, thus ensuring quiet and smooth operation.
The fact that cordless rotary utensils have their own batteries means that recharging is part and parcel of their operations. To make this easier and more effective, the utensils have a battery gage that lets one know when it is time for recharging. Once recharging is done, the battery will help one do much work, for the lithium batteries are known to last over six times more than the common and ordinary NiCad batteries.

How would i make a 12v rotary switch step down to lower voltages?
Im looking to make a small box for testing slot cars on, i have a 12v transformer feeding into a plastic enclosure, id like to put a 6 step rotary switch on the box and step down the 12v to lower voltages to test the slot car engine at lower revs.
thanks for your help
r_wand is correct use power resistors
The motor have a resistance of about 75 ohms and a power rating of about 3W
You should look to switch in about 2V steps, therefore you need 5x 75 ohm resistors wired in series, with the rotary switch moving down the tappings
1W resistors should be sufficient
