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.

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. Rating: 5 / 5 Almost purchased a Dremel when I seen this tool and did some research. Superior tool compared to Dremel.

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. Rating: 5 / 5 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.

The constant RPM make working with the tool predictable. Rating: 4 / 5 It was quieter than I expected. The constant RPM make working with the tool predictable.

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.
