Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com Review:Dremel came out with the first rotary tool long ago, and this professional model, the latest evolutionary leap in the Dremel line, is a great tool for a huge range of projects, from home improvement tasks to hobbies and crafting. Its new soft-start technology, electronic controls, and ergonomic grip make it easier and more comfortable to use than any other rotary tool we've tried. It has a continuously adjustable speed range from 5,000 to 30,000 rpm, with a precise speed gauge, allowing the user to effectively work with materials as soft as balsa wood and as hard as ceramics. And we really like the innovative electronic feedback control on this model, which takes the jerk and torque out of lower-speed applications. Another great feature of this kit (that Dremel's other MotoTools could benefit from) is the 10-foot long cord, which lets you maneuver without reaching the end of your leash. The kit also comes with a huge assortment of accessories and a handy carrying case. If you're looking for the smoothest and easiest-to-operate rotary tool on the market, look no further. Dremel's professional kit is as good as it gets.

Decent Tool
Feels like a good quality tool. I gave it 4-stars for two minor reasons;
1. it would have been nice if it had a variable thumb roller for varying speeds during operation (not a big deal though).
2. the precision of the motor is just not quite what I would call "harmonically balanced". It has a ever so slight crunchy/crackling sound to the motor (at least mine), but, it does not appear to impede the utility of the device.
A worthy purchase.

Great Tool
I am on my second Dremel 3981-01 due to the great duribility of this tool. I used the first one so much I wore the thing out after many years of use. I liked it so much I decided to buy another and work on wearing this one out also, it will take me a few years to get to that point. One of the best Dremel's made.

Very good rotary tool
This is one of six such tools that I own, and one of four this size.
I like all of the functions except the slide switch - that is why I gave it a four. The one that I have with a rocker-switch is much handier for me.

a very good tool
I use this tool frequently. It is very durable, easy to operate and do the job well. It came with 50 or so accessories for the common tasks. However, it doesn't include some accessories which maybe are important to you, such as shaft, mini saw attachment, or blade sharpener attachment. For those things, you have to buy separately.
