4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough for most projects, July 10, 2000

The only way to review this product is by comparing it with a similar Dremel model. For the price, the Wizard stacks up very well. The biggest discrepancy is in the rpms. The Dremel tool can produce up to 30,000rpms compared to only 24,000rpms for the Wizard. At max speed however, the Wizard seems to perform perfectly well. The difference is not all that noticeable. I used the Wizard for a variety of tasks and was able to perform each one easily and efficiently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a dremel, November 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker RT550M Wizard Variable Speed/High Torque Rotary Tool with 101 Accessories (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this tool because I have been completely refinishing all the trim in our "mobile home". I have found this to be much lighter, with less vibration than the dremel, causing less fatigue when I'm doing with my alterations. It has kept me from having to replace hundreds of dollars on replacement trim....

I use this tool for all kinds of detailed woodwork. It is gentle enough on softer wood and has all the power I need for hardwood. It is handier than the Dremel and is very light so detailed work doesn't fatigue my hands. The versapak batteries I can also use in my other B&D tools. I once thought that running out of battery
time was an issue, but I have four batteries and if I keep recharging them while I'm working I never run out of power. Some of my work has won design awards, meaning that it makes a mediocre artist like me look very good. Thanks a lot!
