By now everyone knows that a rotary tool like the Dremel is a great tool to have in your shop. Since I bought this I've used it for dozens of things I never imagined using it for. Detail sanding, cutting sheet aluminum, smoothing rough edges on metal, cutting bolts, freehand routing, the list goes on. You'll be amazed at how often you find yourself reaching for this tool.
Dremel is the top name in rotary tools. In my opinion, this is the "serious duty" model of the dremel line. AC power means you'll never have to deal with a partially charged battery, and you'll always get the same delivered power. The variable speed is a necessity to perform the different tasks you'll ask it to do.
My Dremel has performed very well for the few months that it has been in service. It is constructed of quality materials and built within tight tolerances. Don't be fooled by the "77 Accessories" part of the title...most of these are pieces of sandpaper, polishing wheels and grinding discs. However, you need these pieces to get the job done. The flexible shaft attachment is very nice to have for those hard to reach places. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great little tool that can save you time and aggravation on many little jobs/projects around the house. Easy to use but the only warning is to "GO SLOW", when cutting or grinding. For two reasons, 1) it will work faster than you expect, so you may overdo what ever you are attempting to accomplish. 2) if you put too much pressure on the work surface, you will wear out whatever attachment you are using, really fast. I went through a bunch, that I just have to toss now, as the abrasive surface is gone. I guess I am partially to blame for being overzealous, but I feel the quality/longevity of the individual grinders, cutters could be better.
