Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com Review:While there are a number of rotary tools on the market made by a host of different manufacturers, the Dremel Moto Tool is the one they all strive to copy. Dremel's MultiPro variable-speed model is great for a huge range of projects, from home improvement tasks to hobbies and crafting. It has a continuously adjustable speed range from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, which allows the user to effectively work with materials as soft as balsa wood and as hard as ceramics. The kit comes with an assortment of accessories and a handy carrying case. Others may copy it, but Dremel has been making rotary tools so long they've come close to perfecting the idea.

By now everyone should konw about the Dremel and what it can do. Im very happy I found one for such a great price. I would not however recommend the purchase of an extra set of attachments until you konw what you want to do with your Dremel. Most of the extra attachments I purchased already came with the standard Dremel.

father's day is the day I should have killed my Hubby
I purchased the Dremel for my husband cuz he SWORE that some one must have stolen his. He hadn't finished a project & searched for weeks, unable to find it I ordered it from Amazon. Being totally satisfied w/ my choice, I wrapped it & proudly gave it to him.
W/in 2 hours of him showing his appreciation, he went to work on that halted project and guess what? HE FOUND THE OLD DREMEL!!!
Seeing that we own our own business he took the old one to work since he needed one there too.

I bought this for a minor project I was doing that was too little for my "man-sized" woodworking tools. I clearly thought that this would be one of those tools that I used rarely, if at all. Well, I am using this tool almost daily! There always seems to be something to smooth out, cut a little here or there, or grind down just a fraction. This little tool is perfect for the job.
I would recommend this (the cordless) model as if had a cord, it would be much more likely to be unused.

Good,but expensive
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.
