I purchased this kit at a discount store last fall with birthday money. I'm still finding new ways to put it to work. The array of attachments provide unlimited possibilities. I use it to keep all my other power tools clean and sharp, including the lawn mower blade. It does big cutting jobs on wood and composites or sheet metal, in little places like under between joists under floors or in ceilings and walls. I love the way it flush cuts protruding nails and screws. Easy does it; several passes taking a small amount off at a time works best. Lately, I've been using it to grind out welds on rear axles of tricycles which I repair for the preschool where my wife teaches. The Multi-Pro is great for shaping and sanding small wooden projects, too. It's just the tool for many of the remodeling and repair jobs I do.

I talked about getting a Dremel for years, but I kept waiting for my husband to buy it for me. Well, finally my mother bought it for me. I secretly think she has some jobs she wants me to do around her house :).

I love this Dremel because it has its own case! Very handy to keep all those tiny accessories. You know us women...we want everything organized. Then, I love the easy way you can change out the accessories to change jobs, etc.

You can use this to cut wood, grind, sand, drill, sharpen and polish. There are over 150 different accessories available. That makes it easy to work on metal, ceramic, glass, wood, plastic and other materials.

What I didn't realize is that there are also attachments, like a flexible shaft...sort of like using a "pen." Then there is a "right angle attachment" for certain jobs. WOW, and you can even buy a "router" attachment or a "router table."

This just makes things way too easy :). This is so versatile and fun to use. The size of the Dremel is perfect. It fits right in your hand sort of like an oversized pen. The tip tapers so it is easy to be more precise.

Definitely recommended :)

~The Rebecca Review

The documentation and literature included with this product deserve high praise. There are so many different attachments for this rotary tool, that you could easily find yourself wondering where to start. I was able to use the literature to help organize all of the attachments, AND easily figure out what attachments that I wanted to buy for upcoming projects.

The quality of the tool itself is superior! I trust the Dremel name, and the company stands behind their product.

Why is theprogrammer writing a review about the Dremel?? Well, I do other things that don't involve a computer. I have a house to take care of, and I love power tools just like other guys! Everyone needs one of these!

I finally got one! For Christmas a good friend of mine got me a Dremmel. I AM IN LOVE!!! I go to Home Depot and pick up their scrap wood to come home and make...anything! I even use my Dremmel on my acrylic nails (yep, my finger nails)! It works much better than my Igia! I am currently working on my collection of attachments. So far, my favorite are the engravers. I engrave everything I get my hands on! As I said... I AM IN LOVE!!! I'm thinking of breaking something so I can use my Dremmel to fix it!

We use the Dremel tool extensively at the place we work, an autmotive electronics Tier one supplier. I am Principal Engineer/Scientist, and my engineers and technicians and myself included like the ability to precisely control the speed of rotation of the dremel by a simple, but effective, sliding switch. It comes with a lot of attachments, as usual, some are really useful, while some are space fillers.
What is really useful and makes the tool indispensable is the fact we can change its jaws (the part that holds on to the attachment) and thus it can hold the really fine drill bits for drilling precise and extremely small holes as required on PCB's for surface mounting integrated circuit and small circuit components. A normal Makita or Panasonic or larger drill cannot hold such small drill bits. And the smaller bits tend to break because of the lesser control and added weight when using the larger drill/drivers. The Dremel is perfect in these cases.

The dremel also packs a punch in terms of power, its extreme high speed and power ensures that you will get the job done. But it does reqire some getting used to. For fine sanding, using the lower speed settings give you very good control. So when it comes to sanding down or polishing a surface, the dremel has no real competition. But mind you, this is for small and precise applications only.

So all in all, you have a tool with immense capability and versatility. You can also buy additional attachments, I tink I saw a 320 attachment set for this tool at a Sam's club store. It is a terrific tool, and you will find use for it, no matter what. But I think the price is a bit too high at present, will wait till the ptice falls a bit.
N.B. This model has a 1.15amp current rating, you also have a 2.0amp model (more juice = more power), also craftsman makes an equally good tool, at a slightly cheaper price. Shop around a little.

Was looking at a cheapo $14 one at the store but after looking at the market place and best bang for the buck, I used up some remaining gift certificates to purchase one of these.

Perfect for moding a computer case, trimming down some tiles and basic woodwork.

I've had a Dremel for several years now and it is the most versatile tool I have. I've done wood work (drilling, routing, sanding), made jewelry, cut copper pipe... I just can't say enough good about this tool, everyone should own one.

I now own two dremel tools.I do a lot of crafts like whirley jigs and picture frames.I like to make things myself out of wood because most of the ones you buy don't hold together but for a few years.And it is a lot of fun and takes your mind off the worldly things, like my job.Dremel tools are built good but they do wear out.I now have a router attachment and it is just like a small router.You can do small things like the State of Texas,which is bordered by rivers.The Dremel makes it easy and a lot of fun to create things.You can do almost anything with it.From whirley jigs (that work in the wind) to nice designs on picture frames.I would highly recomemd this product to any one that piddles with wood.For fun or for hobbies.If you do crafts with wood then you need one of these.I finally wore mine out,after about three years.But the first year I was a little to hard on it.Making it do what I wanted it to do instead of letting it cut the wood on it's own.

I really like this product. I bought it to do my dogs nails, along with other projects that may come up. I also bought the other collets so I can use the attachments I have for doing my own nails. I love the multi speed. Also it is electric so I don't have to worry about a battery dying which is what happenend on the imitation dremel I had before.
