The Robert Bosch Tool Corporation will offer a Pinewood Derby Accessory Kit for Dremel rotary tools this January at Lowe's Home Improvement stores across the United States. Each Dremel Pinewood Derby Accessory Kit will include everything one needs to shape, sand and create Pinewood Derby cars.

Children attending each Pinewood Derby car demonstration will also receive an exclusive Dremel/Lowe's All-Star Derby Car Demonstration Patch (while supplies last).
