I have previously owned a Dremel and frankly it seems like a childs toy compared to the quality, performance and accuracy of this Proxxon.
The continuously variable speed adjustment is very good. The tool has a lot of power available.
Comes in a durable plastic case which has some room for tools and bits but would be useful if it could store more.
My only slight negative feeling is that the chuck doesn’t always grip as well as I’d like. However, I think I’m reaching for this on routing jobs that really ought to be done with much bigger tools (but the Proxxon still does the work effortlessly).
I also purchased the Proxxon drill stand which seems of similar high quality but I haven’t got round to using the stand yet.
No regrets at all with this purchase.

It was quieter than I expected. The constant RPM make working with the tool predictable.

This seems to be a well made tool and does a good job. I read the reviews and replaced my defunct Dremel with this unit. It works well but I cannot say that it is better than the Dremel which I used a lot and had for over twenty years. It does not seem to have as many attachments as the Dremel, which can be found in profusion in many stores. I have not found this unit or it’s accessories anywhere but on Amazon. As good as it is, buy a Dremel.

Almost purchased a Dremel when I seen this tool and did some research. Superior tool compared to Dremel. Very powerful does not run down under load. I especially like the keyless chuck for quick change of accessories. Little more expensive than the Dremel I wanted but worth the extra cost.

I bought this to replace a failed Dremmel. This is step up in quality. Very smooth in operation and powerful. The grips are comfortable and the controls, once you get used to them, are easy to operate during usage.
