I bought the Dremel first,it was ok, but it needed more torque. I returned it and got the RTX....WOW I was amazed, this tool blows away the dremel with almost twice as much power and twice as much torque! Dont waste your money on dremel, get the RTX.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Wizard, Dremel; cheaper than Rotozip!!, January 1, 2001

Don't waste your money on Rotozip (read others reviews on it) or the expensive Dremel kits. This has all the power you could ever need in an easy to handle package that works great right out of the box! I recommend getting the wand attachment with it, as this will aid with all "fine" detail work.

I've owned a dremel for over 5 years. We just moved, and I could not find it, apparently hidden deep within our catacombs of packed boxes. It was just the excuse I needed to upgrade. Alas, I saw the RTX tool, an apparently updated Dremel. The RTX attachments and chuck appear to be similar to a Dremel, but the RTX has enough power to be a "real tool". I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I will be giving this gift to many on my Christmas list this year. Other Dremel improvements (over my old Dremel anyway) * Better case, much larger, with a separate tool holder. The dremel sometimes required a crow bar to get the tool into the case and close it. * Better speed control * flip up chuck lock to simplify chucking/unchucking attachments BTW, I use the tool mostly for trim work as a way to finish up coped joints. On quarter round, it does the entire job.
