This review is from: Neiko 40-piece Portable 1 Amp 6-speed Rotary Grinder Tool with Flexible Shaft (Misc.)

This rotary tool would be well worth the money even if it came without the accessories. It has 7 speeds, and is a powerhouse. I use it for wood carving, but i dont think it would have any problems with metal, plastic, stone, ect. Its bigger than most of the dremel brand tools i have tried, but it doesnt matter because it comes with the flexable shaft!!! depending on how good a bargan shopper you are that alone would cost you about 20.00-40.00. and there is a great little stand that clamps on to your work bench or where ever your working that holds the tool for you while your using the flex shaft. I havent used many of the bits that came with this but it does come with two size collets and i have been able to use bits i allready had. and the sanding drums that came with this are excellent. I am very pleased with this tool. I have only had it 10 days, but so far it is out performing the previous rotary tool i own. even if it breaks in a couple months Ill consider this a good value, because of thee quality of the accessories.

This tool works great. I had a small project which involved cutting a piece out of my sliding glass door frame to install a new latch. I do not know how I could have done it without this type of tool. It works great. It also works with Dremel brand accessories. I had purchased several Dremel pieces to use with this hand tool and it fits great. The variable speed is also a plus. I recommend this to anyone considering purchasing a Dremel type tool.

This review is from: Neiko 40-piece Portable 1 Amp 6-speed Rotary Grinder Tool with Flexible Shaft (Misc.)

I ordered this item from Amazon about a month ago, and was anticipating the arrival of this new toy. I was a bit skeptical due to the low price, and I know why now. I waited almost a month for this to get delivered even though it was said to be in stock. Apart from the delayed delivery situation this thing has about 1/3 the power of the Dremel, Craftsman models that are similar. I tried to use the cutting wheel to remove some glued on pressed wood and this thing just came to a standstill. I borrowed a friends Craftsman model and it zipped right through that pressed wood. I attempted to use some other attachments in hopes this would be good for something. It might be good for engraving or something light duty, but you serious wood workers will not be happy with this item.
I would not reccomend this product to anyone. I gave it one star just because I had to give it sonme star rating.
Have you ever heard the saying "you get what you pay for"? It is true with these type tools. Pay the extra 20-40 dollars and get something that will work good. I went out and bought the dremel 4000 for $79.99 and it works great.
This item will go into a garage sale or Ebay.
Thats my two cents, and I hope it helps someone else from making the mistake I did.
