With an inexpensive foot controller, this single-speed Dremel tool is all you need for many applications. Takes all the standard accessories. No runout or looseness in the spindle, no vibration. Plenty of power for typical Dremel tasks.

I purchased this tool kit at a Father's Day sale for $29.99. Sorry Dad, but it was for me. I didn't want to spend a lot when I wasn't sure if I would like it. So far, so good. After a couple of small accessory purchases, I've cleaned my shovels, pruners, and some other tools, cleaned my golf clubs, cut some tile, sanded some areas of the house, and removed the nasty grout from the kitchen floor and added knew. Not bad for a week of evenings and a weekend. I can see that I might eventually upgrade to a more powerful and multispeed tool, but as a starter set- this is GREAT.

Got this to replace a battery Dremel unit on the cheap as a red tag at Wally World. Right out of the box it vibrated really bad and wined loud with nothing on it. Clue..if I squeezed the casing it stopped vibrating and wining.

Did some research and someone suggested wrapping masking tape around the bearing casings when the bearing run-out gets bad. Since this was brand new, there was no run-out in the bearings yet but it gave me the idea to wrap the steel part of the motor with some thin double face foam tape to cushion the motor casing from the plastic outer tool casing. (tip: leave the paper backing on the outside of the tape) Bingo! It worked and the thing purrs like a kitten now.

This issue leads me to believe that they have some Mexico quality control issues to work out. Seems that I'm getting used to fixing/ re-engineering new imported stuff. Sad but so true.

Prior Dremel was a variable speed, which I rarely used below full speed. The new one works as advertised and I am quite pleased with it.

If you don't have a Dremel yet; you have been seriously missing out. This tool does it all, from filing the claws on my Rottie to sharpening anything in the house. A must for any homeowner or craftsperson.

I have had bad luck with Dremel: My Dremel tool, after only occasional, non-abusive, uses now refuses to spin, even though the motor itself is reving up fine.

So I opened the tool up to see what was wrong, and discovered that there is a clear rubber (yes, rubber!) bushing that is tasked with connecting the motor's considerable torque to the tool's rotating shaft. This soft bushing had -- no surprise here -- torn to shreds. How the Dremel engineers thought that rubber, instead of metal (or even a "Space Age" plastic, if you still want to be really cheap but a bit tougher than rubber) was a good idea, I can't say.

Perhaps they have now improved this fault on all newer models, but for now I am buying the much superior Black & Decker RTX-B 3 Speed RTX Rotary Black & Decker RTX-B 3 Speed RTX Rotary Tool with Storage Case-- and for only thirty bucks!

i think you need the Variable speed from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm

i tried this one and it was on full speed all the time

so i could not adjust the speed for the job i wanted to do

and actually the speed of 35.000 rpm is very high ,

so if you ok with that buy this one .

but i returned this one and bought the full

Variable speed from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm and it is actually perfect .

Works very good, using to sharpen my chain saw. The old sears chain sharpen just wore out after 15 years. Took the part that is used in the old one and put it on this new one. Works great and I can use this mutli ways.

I bought this to replace my battery-powered 20K rpm dremel (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302Y2) and the difference is vast. For one thing, after a year or so the battery stopped holding a charge.

For another, the extra power makes a world of difference (as you might expect). The old tool simply wasn't up to many jobs.

lots of power here, i used this to cut up my controller bought on amazon so i could install a super booster. upgraded from a cordless and this thing is great for cutting up stuff like computer cases, thick plastics, other peoples cars. good stuff.
