We know it sounds clichéd, but we have to say it: The Dremel’s capabilities are limited only by your imagination and innovation. The MultiPro rotary tool is the handful of power behind a thousand uses, with supreme control and ergonomic comfort and, truth be told, its tremendous fun to use. Its five speed sets range from 5,000 to a router-like 35,000 rpm, and combined with a seemingly endless array of bits and attachments, you can carve, grind, polish, trim, sand, cut a wide range of material, shape, clean, remove grout, smooth, drill, rout, sculpt, sharpen, engrave, strip finishes – kind of like being a superhero with gadgets that never end.

The secret ingredient is the speed. With a bit moving at 35,000 rpm, you don’t need to lean into the job at all; on the contrary, we found a light touch to be the most effective, and the tool does the work for you. Control is superb, thanks to a comfortable housing and excellent balance whether you’re doing detail work with a pencil-like grip or grasping the tool like a tennis racquet. It’s light as a feather at just about a pound, so even working at shoulder height or above is no chore. Bit change is fast and easy; the collet locks with a button and the wrench stores on board. This set comes with 10 bits to get you started, but have a look at other accessory sets too, because once you get this Dremel in hand, it’s addictive. You’ll want to pick up the flex shaft and right-angle attachments for cramped quarters, add on a router-type base, and maybe even get the stand that turns the tool into a mini drill press. If you’ve never had a rotary tool, you absolutely can’t go wrong with this one, and if you’re upgrading from a single- or dual-speed model, you’ll love it. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone needs one of these great tools WITH the METAL SHAFT!!, October 3, 2007

This review is from: Dremel 395 MultiPro 1-1/7-Amp 5000-to-35000-RPM Variable-Speed Rotary Tool with 10 Accessories (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used a Dremel for years, a lot of years. This is the best tool of this type I know of. I've read some reviews that try to convince you that the tool has a plastic shaft. It has a METAL shaft. The metal shaft runs through a plastic piece that holds the brushes. Take yours apart and see.You're going to find that most good tools have the same arrangement. I have melted this piece in the past and I'll tell you how I did it. If you run your tool for a long time and put your hand over the vents you will have problems. If you work it for a long time the tool will get hot and melt things. You will notice that the people that give these reviews never mention the warranty, because they have been careless with the use of the tool and the warranty won't cover it. All this is the fault of the user. I know, because I've done it. This is a great tool and no workshop can be complete without it. I'm sure that the first Dremel I bought over 30 years ago is still running. If you don't abuse them they last for a long time. Thanks for letting me rant, everyone needs to know the truth about a great tool.

This review is from: Dremel 395 MultiPro 1-1/7-Amp 5000-to-35000-RPM Variable-Speed Rotary Tool with 10 Accessories (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned the Multi-Pro kit for 8 months now, and I don't know how I lived without it before. The jobs it can do are limited only by your imagination. The variable speed lets you match the speed to the work. It cleans and sharpens all my other power tools, lawn mower blades, too. It makes cuts in all types of materials in tight places for remodeling jobs; you know, under sinks and floors, inside walls and ceilings. I especially like the cutting wheels (careful, they are brittle) to flush cut nails and screws, or shape small metal pieces. I've used them to grind out welds when repairing tricycles for the preschool where my wife teaches. With the sanding drums, I've smoothed and shaped small wooden projects. I plan on taking the Multi-Pro to 4H Summer Camp this year for the woodworking class I teach. Remember to go slow and make several passes when cutting material for best results. Look for more of my reveiws on Dremel products.

I would like to clarify some misunderstanding. The model 395 has several versions. The type 3 was last made over 8 years ago. It was the last model to use the plastic coupling from the motor to the drive shaft. The versions since then are direct metal drives. The plastic sleeve connector, which will after many years dry up, crack and fall apart, can be replaced. Order it from the Dremel factory dealer: DREMEL SERVICE CENTER 4915 21st Street Racine, WI 53406 [phone] [phone]. The cost is about $2.50. I do not work for or have any connection with the Dremel Company. It is a fine product. I found how to fix my 9 year old Dremel type 3 after some searching on the Web.
