So far I've been enjoying this rotary tool! Since dremel started to let me down with lower quality at a high price, I needed an upgrade. This fits all dremel bits and more which is nice. No need switch out collets because this unit has a drill-type chuck! The foot pedal is a little bit tough to keep the RPM steady.I have some old R/C shocks that I'm going to rig on it to make it smooth and easier for keeping a steady RPM.

Perfect for what need. Plenty of power. Bits stay in without any issues

I was hesitant to purchase this item due to low cost, afraid it wouldn't work well. I wanted a Foredom, but couldn't justify their much higher price.I have used this tool for general tool maintenance and sharpening, but mostly for power carving. It's very powerful, quiet and effective.I noticed there was no grease on the flex shaft, but it was easy to apply (I used Foredom shaft grease).The Chuck works well, but the handpiece gets warm (not hot).Several people complain in other reviews that the variable speed foot switch isn't good. I disagree, it works fine and I'm easily able to control the speed. However, I agree with others that the cord from the foot control is too short, but easily corrected with a short extension cord.I'd buy it again.

This machine is very well made and I was also impressed with the fact that it came with an extra set of brushes. I like the keyed chuck and it grips and holds the various attachments very securely. I have been using smaller rotary tools with flex shafts and even a mini grinder with a flex shaft attacment and this is now my go to machine. It has worked well with every attachment I have tried and did a great job on everything from sanding down acrylic and crystal castings, lapidary polishing and wood carving with a number of things in between. It's fast rpms and incredible torque make it ideal for a wide range of jobs. I only gave it 4 stars because of the foot pedal , it is merely an on/off and to regulate speed your only option is to set a stop at the speed you want to run at which I find very inconvenient because I need to change speeds frequently and grabbing up the foot pedal and setting a stop is not something I want to do constantly. It is very hard to control otherwise though so I will likely add a motor controller or change the pedal which is bulky and plastic anyway. As far as accessories are concerned, you get the basic items you find with most rotary tools but the chuck in this machine offers greater flexibility for a wider range of attachments.

Works fantastically, the peddle is great and works for very controlled work, you can have the motor laying down if needed, the check size allows for most standard sizes of tools and drill bits, very robust and I see myself getting many great years of work from this. WAY better then a Dremel tool which i ditched after their costly parts and fixed size for its tools.

I like it- using it today along with my Foredom to port saws

My dremel 300 is barely alive after 15 years of metal polishing, drilling, cutting bolts, trimming siding installs with who knows how many hours. The power cable is so chemically destroyed from metal polishing that it crumbling. The rubber casing is almost completely dissolved off. The speed controller works intermittently. The bearings are so worn that it gets too hot to hold after 30 mins of straight usage. Repairing it is not cost effective.It was time to upgrade!I purchased a Dremel 4300 to replace it. It just too big to hold for long periods. Purchased the flex cable. Mounted it and the cable vibrates way too much. Then I didn't like that the speed control and power switch were too far away. I purchased a footswitch... That didn't work. Turned up the speed control to 100% then the pedal cuts in and out. Can't use it on an speed controlled dremel. Can't use a foot switch on any electric motors with centrifugal switches either. Now it was over $200 into this setup and wasn't happy. Returned all of it.Searching and reading and comparing reviews for hours and hours lead me here to this unit. It was very close to the getting Dremel Fortiflex at $250. The harbor freight unit was out with way too many negative reviews. That was $50 too. It's a lot of work to try and determine the general unhappy whiners from real reviews with real problems.I picked this unit up after reading the reviews and taking the chance. I'm sure everyone has been there. The unit came in a generic foam packaging. It was setup quickly hanging up. Read the manual with adjusting the sheath at 3/4" and making sure it not being used in a tight angle. The sheath needed to be adjusted as it was sticking out at 1 1/4". I spinned it at slow speeds with a few burst speeds for 5 mins. No issues.The only problem so far is the chuck. The jaws get jammed during opening and closing at certain spots. Prepare for some back and forth with the wrench if the jaws get jammed. Remove the handpiece for this working of the jaws. some 3in1 oil helped. Back and forth, back and forth tapping on the bench to free the jaws... slowly it's clearing up the jammed spots.A 1/4 hex shaft will fit. You have to run down the jaws all the way until they bottom out. This area was really rough with jammed jaws. Just keep working it with oil and tapping when they jam. The threads will come clean.It needs an autobrake. It takes 7 seconds for it to spin down at full speed. That can eat at my patience level during the constant change tools.I plan on getting the small chuck like the dremel to quick change 3/32 and 1/8" tools. I have to make sure it concentric though. Any suggestions.This unit won't be used in a heavy load use, just polishing and some grinding. So far, so good with the foot pedal control! It would be nice if the foot pedal had better speed control. The variable speed control works from 0-30% then bursts to full power. Which is fine for some low speed polishing...
