The Black & Decker RTX-6 2 Amp 3-Speed Rotary Tool offers superior power and versatility, allowing you to perform a wide variety of jobs with maximum convenience. Its high-torque 2 Amp motor gives you enough power to complete jobs faster than most other tools on the market and without getting bogged down, and with three adjustable speeds (12,000/24,000/30,000 RPM) this tool delivers precision work. Rubber overmolded grips offer comfort, protection, and greater control. This rotary tool also comes with 27 accessories and 2 clamps to perform a wide variety of tasks--cutting, sanding, grinding, carving, polishing, and much more--and for the maximum in convenience, it features a universal collet system to accept any standard rotary tool accessory. Its exclusive "Flip-Lock" system makes switching between accessories quick and easy. The rotary tool also includes a wrench, two clamps, and a soft-sided bag with room for accessories. It is covered by a two-year warranty. Product in this box may differ slightly from that pictured. Not all accessories shown in photography are included in this package

From the Manufacturer

The RTX-6 has a powerful, high torque motor (twice the power and torque of the leading competitor) to complete jobs faster and it won't bog down under load. An exclusive Flip-Lock spindle lock system provides quick and easy accessory changes, eliminating the need to hold down an awkward button. Rubber overmolded grips give superior comfort and control. The universal collet system accepts all standard rotary tool accessories so you don't have to buy specially made accessories. The 3-speed (12,000/24,000/30,000 RPM) switch allows for maximum precision in all applications and also gives "set and forget" convenience.

Mine did not come with a soft-sided bag with accessory compartment.

I use this thing now for everything and catch myself "making" work just so I can use this fun tool.

I am happy that I bought this for about half as much of a Dremel brand rotary tool.

This rotary tool is powerful, easy to handle, solidly built, and light weight. The attached video shows exactly what you get and recommends a low cost, potentially invaluable accessory. (The Dremel 4486 Multi Pro Keyless Chuck if you don't care to watch.)

A couple other thoughts... As you can see from the video, the bag I got is different from the storage case shown in the listing. The listing shows a fitted case. What I got was a nylon drawstring sack. For me that's not an issue. When my RTX isn't posing for pictures it's hanging over my workbench connected to (and working very well with) a Milescraft 1003 Flex Shaft for Rotary Tools.

Also, as an added treat I've placed at the very end of the video a comparison between the sound made by my RTX, while it's connected to the Milescraft Flex Shaft, to the sound from my very handy and not very powerful Dremel 1100-N/25 7.2-Volt Stylus Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool Kit with Docking Station. For me it means I get almost "Stylus" convenience (at least at my workbench) with *lots* more power and only slightly more noise.

Finally, one additional accessory I've found *very* handy, especially if you're using the Flex Shaft is a Proxxon 38700 Foot Switch FS. There are other foot switches that include a variable speed option.

First off, I had a hard time getting this question answered when I was looking at rotary tools, so I'll say it right now: ALL DREMEL ACCESSORIES ARE USABLE BY THIS ROTARY TOOL. To someone who's used a rotary tool before I'm sure this is a logical statement, but to someone new to the devices (as I was), it can be confusing. I thought there might be some notch or something in Dremel accessories that made them only usable by Dremel rotary tools, but there isn't. They're all the same.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I just got my RTX a couple of weeks ago, and thus far I'm very impressed by it. It looks and feels substantial and sturdy, and fits very nicely in your hand as you work with it. Though I'd have preferred to see fully adjustable speed settings on this tool, the three speed settings seem to allow more than enough versatility in power to handle any project you throw at it. Mine came with a nice, simple case that's about the same size as a 2 cd tall cd book, which I greatly prefer to the extremely large plastic case that most Dremel tools come in.

My only complaints from this unit are that it doesn't come with a very impressive array of bits/accessories (I bought a 150 piece Dremel accessory kit to supplement it), and I've had some difficulty with the locking mechanism that allows for you to switch accessories getting stuck. It's always loosened up after a little persistent encouragement, but it's still a decent sized annoyance when it happens.

I've used a 300 series Dremel regularly in the past, so I feel that I can safely say that from what I have seen from this tool thus far, the Black and Decker RTX is just as capable a tool as the Dremel, perhaps more so (when you take into account the RTX's superior power).

I haven't used this on any projects yet, but it does seem promising. It has a rigid feel to it and the price is ideal. I haven't used a Dremel brand rotary tool so I can't really compare.

The only negative thing I have to say about this is that the collet nut is pretty hard to loosen once it's tightened. However, I found that putting the wrench against one of the fan blades made it easier to loosen. Probably not a good thing to do, but it does work.

Update 10/14/2008: I have used this on several projects now and it has held up very well. Cuts, grinds, and sands plastic and metal with no problems. The cut-off wheels included are not that great, but you can always get reinforced replacements. Also, make sure to let off on the material you are cutting, grinding, or sanding from time to time so that the cut-off wheels or sanding bands can cool off. Otherwise, the cut-off wheels are more prone to shatter or burn the material when it gets too hot from the friction. If you think you need a rotary tool to get a job done, this will do it and then some. In my initial review I stated that I had problems with the collet nut, but after using it I found it was my own fault. I did not have the locking safety mechanism engaged all the way so I had problems getting the collet nut off. Just make sure the safety is engaged all the way and tap the collet when it is loosened to get the attachment off and you will be golden. I am happy that I bought this for about half as much of a Dremel brand rotary tool. If I could change my rating, I would now give it 5 stars.

Amazon doesn't include a list of the accessories, but it's not their fault. It doesn't even say on the box itself.
