Good unit for the price. June 8, 2008
I've had this for almost 1 and a half years. I bought it here on Amazon. It works well. I've used it to sand my dogs nails down as he doesn't mind it as much as clipping with the nail clippers. I've also used it to grind down metal nail tips (protruding through wood) and it worked well except the chuck kept on slipping causing the bit to work it's way out. I had to stop every minute or so to push the bit into the chuck and retighten. I ground down about 12 nails in that one use and applied quite a bit of pressure down as I was grinding; it handled it well other than the slipping of the chuck. I've also used it for small jobs such as cutting plastic using the cutting wheel with no problems.
It's not clear to me which Dremel tool accessories will work with this. I want to buy a chainsaw chain sharpener attachment that Dremel makes but it's not clear whether the screw on attachment will fit this rotary tool. If anyone knows, please comment.
great for the price August 3, 2007
It's a rotary tool. It does what it says it will. I'm having a great time with it. (It does NOT have a 3 jaw chuck, though, like the title says. It comes with a collet system, which is annoying. I bought a keyless chuck to replace it, but I'll have to grind it down to fit the tool.)
 GMC Varible speed rotary tool July 25, 2007
I would like to give this tool 5 stars but I can't. I bought it March 9 at a great price but it has already died! Called GMC and they told me to call Amazon (Unit has a 2 year warranty). Amazon took a couple of minutes to discuss and agreed to refund the money. So I would have to give Amazon 5 stars! I was almost done with all my planned projects when it died. No joke, I had one more circle to cut out when it died! I am not a contractor, tool was used about 15 times in 5 months. Maybe I got a bad one? Most of the attachments and tools I did not use. I bought a drywall bit and used that 99% of the time.
ROTARY TOOL June 27, 2007
THE ROTARY TOOL ITSELF SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A GOOD PURCHASE, HOWEVER THE ATTACHMENTS ARE QUITE DISAPOINTING.
Great For The Price May 27, 2007
I've never owned a dremel-type tool before, but was in the market for an affordable woodcarving tool to use for carving pinewood derby cars and such. This tool did the trick right out of the box, without the need to buy any accessories. The included flexible shaft was very useful for carving. The quality of the tool and major accessories seemed as good or better than any power tool I've had for under $50. The minor accessories - carving bits and the like - were not high quality, but were useful and met my expectations for the low price point.
This tool does not include an adjustable chuck, so it wouldn't be good for jobs that call for frequent swapping of the bit. It's not very powerful so I wouldn't use it for heavy duty work. For shaping pinewood derby cars -- which are about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide -- it worked great.
