I have my Dremel. Had it for years. I don't use my rotory tool that often but when I do no other tool will do the job and it becomes the best tool in my shop for awhile.
Hey Jeff, I went and bought this tool after watching your review. Got it today, Sunday. Great tool for small jobs. I did add a few drops of Bell & Howell projector oil to both ends of the flex shaft and to the tool shaft. Works just as you demo'd it. Thanks for that review. The 20% off at Amazon helped too.
I acquired my first two Dremels inthe 70s. Didn't need to replace them until about 4-5 years ago. Bought the 12v battery powered Dremel and that was one of the smartest purchases I've made. Buy the bits and mandrels as you need them.
Amen. I had Dremels for years and when my last one burnt up, I bought a Masterforce instead. Its basically a Dremel 4300 that comes with a flex shaft and a hanger and still costs half as much as a Dremel 4300. I love Dremel but I don't see the sense in paying twice as much just because it says, "Dremel" on it.
Bought a similar tool through HBT and have been using it instead of purchasing a Dremel. Not as "strong" as I would like, but it works well and does what I ask it to do whether in woodwork or in wood turning. Good call.
Thanks for a review. If anyone needs another cheap option but want to get it at a brick and mortar store, if you have a menards around they have a nice setup, I believe it's master force brand for around $50(in columbus ohio). It comes with a table clamp and a Flex shaft along with various bits. Don't forget about the cheap $30 harbor freight kit. It's actually good for the money. The corded one is good, cordless lacks imo. I have used the cheap harbor freight one for finish sanding and polishing of ports on heads and manifolds after the bulk of material has been removed. If you 3d print a glue gun is fantastic tool, find the stl to print a pla glue stick and use it to join and repair prints.has to be a high temp glue gun to work.
That looks almost exactly like the Tacklife rotary tool I bought I think on your recommendation a month or so ago - the only difference is the Tacklife has a small LCD that shows the RPM at 1:1000 ratio (10 = 10,000 rpm all the way up to 40=40,000 rpm). I really like this tool a lot and it has held up really well to hour long plus sessions of light grinding of stone along rust removal from old tools and pretty much anything I have thrown at it. The flex tool is a positive/negative neutral as it works OK but doesn't give you that feel of connection to the tool in the same way. With or without the flex the tool never gets too hot and I am careful to check while using it - heavier duty than the last dremel I owned and it so far has been worth every penny. Thanks Bear!
These have a thinner than normal Collett. The ones that fit the Dremel and pretty much all other rotary tools are slightly too wide to fit. I had to put mine in a drill chuck and turn them down with a file. Pain in the butt. However the tool is as good as the current iteration of dremels. And way better than the Parkside tool that lasted 10 minutes!
I've had the same Dremel 3000 for years and years now. I almost lost it once due to the locking mechanism getting stuck, but managed to get it loose. Rotary tools are super useful, but it's all about the attachments and application.
I have an old dremel I bought from a thrift store about 10 years ago.. I paid $5 ..it was almost brand new , it was missing the wrench ,and the arbors for sanding rolls, and it had the crappy blow molded case
I had an actual Dremel brand (the basic "full throttle" one) rotary tool for many years. When it did finally burn up, I couldn't believe the prices of the brand name. Since they've all been made overseas for years, I ended up buying a variable speed model in a HUGE kit from Northern Tool for about $70 maybe 5-6 years ago. The kit included a 3' flex shaft and God only knows how many bits, wheels, stones etc. It also came with a mini tool. These days, they're all pretty much the same thing other than the color. I've used this one without any complaints ever since. The big Harbor Freight accessory kit is a pretty good deal too.
If you're looking for a cheap rotary tool, I highly recommend the Black and Decker RTX-B. I've had one for years and it's fantastic. The biggest perk, is that it has a 2amp motor, meaning roughly 240watts of power, vs the 130watts claimed by this tool. I've used it to grind cast iron, aluminum, and stainless and it doesn't lose power. I did have an issue where the chuck lock broke (I was being a bit to aggressive with my tightening) but the shaft has a hole in it and I made a space to stick a small Allen key through to lock the chuck. It's more powerful than the $120 Dremel 4300.
I have Dremel that I am suer is the cheap stuff despite having had it ~10 years. I have never tried to perform continuous detail work with it. It looks very similar to this tool. But the other day I needed to cut a corroded feral off a copper pipe that I couldn't cut because it was too short without drastically increasing the scope of work. That little thing saved my bacon. When you need detail, have one of these tools handy. Just have one.
Being into radio controlled flying I’ve gone through a lot of Drexel’s over the years. The weak point always seems to be the brushes. You would think someone would have come up with a brushless die grinder by now. My best Drexel is a professional flex shaft model with a motor about 3 times the size of the handheld tools. That one has lasted but it was about $160 25 years ago.
The bare tool looks very much like my Chicago Electric I bought a few years ago. But my CE didn't come with the flex tube and that nifty handle. I enjoyed this Red!
Hey Bear, I’ve been using the Wen Rotary Tool from Amazon @$24 for over a year and had NO problems! Just as you pointed out, you can’t run these things like a heavy industrial tool...use it then let it cool off.....
I wanted to let you know that I picked up the new Bauer rotary tool at Harbor Freight. It comes with a 35 piece accessories included in a small clear plastic box. Price is $29.99 With the 10% off it was $26.99 It handles nicely with the reduced thickness. I hope you pick one up as I'm interested to see if it is Bear approved.
Nice, timely video since I've been considering getting a rotary tool. The one key detail that no one ever mentions is compatibility with all the accessories out there, most of which have the Dremel label. Aside from that, it's good that you talk about care of one's tools. It really bugs me that some people don't use the stuff properly, don't take care of them and then complain when the motor burns out or something.
Thank you SO much for this video! I am really trying to figure out what the heck the "brush access" is on it? (the black circle you pointed out...it seems there's one on the other side of it too) What is it's purpose? I bought this one because of your video and I unscrewed one of them and had a heck of a time getting it back in and now I'm worried I've ruined the tool although it is working but I was really taken aback by the coil and all the stuff in there (sorry I'm totally new at this and have no clue what anything is called) Thank you for anyone's help!
My biggest question for any of them is Are they compatible with Dremel accessories? I have a No name tool that works great but have lost the collets for it. Dremel collets and accessories don't fit it so it just sits collecting dust.
I don’t use them all the time, but when you need one, you need one! I had mine for a while, and it a great little machine. I just bought a Bauer one, the first thing people should do is put a fast collar lock on them for quick change of accessories.
I've had a half dozen dremel tools fail. I've still got a couple of the first ones that still work well but the newer one's are cheap junk that aren't cheap.
I paid just about as much for my Dremel flex shaft for detail work as you did for this whole set!! And my 12v Milwaukee rotary tool I'm using the shaft with doesn't have a d ring to hang it from I have to use the 4ah battery and hang it by the box of the battery with zip ties 🤣 I'd say overall this things a win
El alargador hay que echar un poco grasa, viene secó y eso hace que se sobre caliente, está en general bien, pero repito por el precio tiene defectos importantes en el tiempo. Es para una emergencia, no la recomiendo para uso intensivo. Internamente los que la fabricaron an pensado más en la vista que en la calidad. Llevo un mes con ella y ya se nota que los rodamientos rotor se está comiendo su hueco por no llevar una gomita, no está pensada para durar. No está mal fabricado motor únicamente tiene falta de detalles que considero importantes, cómo digo en un mes se aprecia desajuste interno, recomiendo revisar todo y poner algo que disipe vibración para evitar desgaste armazón de pasta.
I teceived a dremel as a gift around 1992. It went for $80 and came with a boaþload of accessories. I didn't want to wear it out and I bought an off brand from a true value hardware store for $12 on sale in 2011. It came with a boatload of accessories. I also purchased the flex tool by dremel. It turnes out that all of the dremel accessories worked just fine with the cheapie tool. I've been using the cheapie since purchasing it with zero problems. A few years ago I bought an accessory kit on sale from home depot, everything is all interchangeable with both rotarý tools. And then about 3 years ago I got an accessory kit with tons of parts from Walmart for about $20. It had collets which I desperately needed, and it too is interchangeable with both rotary tools. I had a specific need...I think it was green polishing paste so I bought a small kit from Harbor Freight. Evetything in it works interchangeably with both rotary tools. I need a new collar for the dremel. I hope they sell them separately. I like the handle on the tool you demonstrated and would like to know if it's interchangeable with dremel. Thankyou!
I have bought both cord and battery harbor freight rotery tools, the battery one was weak and the corded one had a broken shank in the first few uses. Would not buy again. But I can't wait to see the vid because I do need a new rotary tool.
@@ryansnyder7444 and I guarantee this one isn't nearly as powerful as the dremel he showed either. You won't get the customer service either. I'm just saying he called that a basic dremel and it isn't. It is a trade-off and of course he isn't going to make that clear because he is selling you something. No hate towards him I'm just being honest.
My cousin called me over to help him. He was using the $5.99 Harbor Fright rotary tool to grind off exhaust nuts on his manifold. I asked him for a beer and watched him work until I was hammered.
Both Ryobi and Hart from TTI have cordless flex shaft rotary tools. They are almost the same but the Hart one has a place built in were the little accessory box slides in. Right now Walmart has a "Hart Lifestyle 4-tool Combo" that comes with a 6 battery charger, 2 1.5 ah lithium ion batteries, an inflator, and a hand held vacuum on clearance for $80-$109 depending on the store it is regularly $150. Direct Tools has the Ryobi version for $60 tool only (factory blemished) and $7 flat rate FedEx shipping. Both have 3 year warranties.
I own a WEN 2307 rotary tool my friend gave me his bosch large soft zipper case fits my wen rotary tool and wen 320 piece accessories I even purchased a Kawasaki collet set which is better made than the standard one that it came with it for me this does the job as a homeowner it's good for little arts and crafts and little things around the house it's not good for professional use but it does the job I'm happy with it my father in-law who owns a older Dremel similar to mine likes mine says alot. ( for poops and giggles I did get the drill Master one for like $8.00 thing is a piece of junk probably going to get the wand the right angle attachment the router attachment it's a good kit to build on
I really gotta get one of those flex shaft things, I think. Would make a rotary tool actually do what I always hope it will, detail work. Nice that the one you tested didn't sound like it was going to explode if run at full speed no load. Can't say the same for the one I got for $10 on sale at Menards 🤣 That handle is a nice feature too. It's not just friction. There's usually also a spring connecting the motor to the collet so if you bog it down too much or too many times, it will quite happily destroy itself. Ask me how I know.... (And how I have the internals of a rotary tool in a box...) I bought a more expensive SureBonder dual power (battery or ac) glue gun once. It's the slowest heating hot glue gun I've ever had. Doh! On the plus side, I got a Gorilla hot glue gun on sale on Amazon for like 10 bucks, dual temp, and it heats up quick and has a good stand... Learned my lesson I guess?
Nice little tool, except that the advertising (Amazon) lists this at 160w, scroll down to the specs, it's 130w. At that point it becomes a nope for me. That's 1.1 amp, barely. So it'll be a little under-powered and get hot faster, but as you noted, it's a short run time tool and it will work for a lot of stuff. I'll look for a 1.8 amp motor and yes, that's a significant difference plus you can find them for similar pricing. Yeah, about Dremel, you're right, ain't your grandads tool. I'll pass on that high priced tool. You'll have a good chance of buying 2-4 of the Tilswall, Tacklife, Teccpo, Goxawee or any of the others for the price and power rating of the Dremel that's probably outsourced to one of those companies.
I have the dermal cordless. I actually don't care much for it but it does work. Even a cheap rotary is fine for what they ARE made for. In fact the cheaper the better. Run the math one costs 80bucks lasts 10yrs, 8$ a yr. One for 10bucks lasts 2yrs 5$ a yr. All's good
No trae seguro sujeccion cable interno, lo cual con un tirón, se podría salir de las cogidas, además ni motor ni rotor trae nada de goma en rodamientos para evitar vibración en alto. Personalmente por el precio las hay mejores incluso a batería. Muy bonita y completa pero no la veo preparada para durar, el botón de encendido apagado lo puedes poner donde lo trae o más adentro si necesitas activar más cómodo.
I’d love to see that demo along side a Dremel demo. Do you know how it compares? Thank you for sharing your time, experience, knowledge and kindness!! I do appreciate your work. Many blessings.
Honestly, I don't see much difference. The dremel I got from my grandfather 30 years ago died about 5 years back so I bought a new one. I tried it for a week and took it back. Priced like a high end tool but I did not see it in the performance or build.
Only thing that sucks on all these cheap units is the cheap disc's they give you are junk you use most of them for one small tiny task and have had a ton of close calls because the cheap cutter discs shrapnelthe worst @TheDenOfTools
I have a Dremel and a Ryobi (way better). Hey bear I have a question I am in desperate need of a thinkness that won't break the bank do know of anything out there right now? Someone stole mine days right out of my driveway while I was using the damn thing. I went inside to refill my drink and came out and it was gone along with my good clamps that were sitting there. Damn turd nuggets took almost every clamp I owned. I was inside 3 mins tops it was that fast. I was making a bench for some extra $$. Social security disability doesn't pay enough for me to live so I supplement my income with stuff I buildand right now a thinkness planer is important because of the quality and condition of lumber right now. I figured if there was an awesome deal to be had you were the person who would know were to find it.
The cheap rotary tools are ok, the cheap bits are horrible. For my last rotary tool, I went with a cheap cordless and am very happy with it. All of the collets and chucks in all of my rotary tools, cheap and name brand, loose their grip after a little use.
If I buy a cheap too I throw away the bits or discs that come with it, even a cheap tool can benefit from a good bit or blade or disc etc. even my name brand circular saws generally have come with cheap blades. Project farm does good videos on things like sawzall blades and drill bits, cheap tool with a good blade!
Dunno what I'd use a rotary tool.for?? Engraving my initials into tools so other Peeps know to KEEP AWAY? lol The rotary tool motor sounds sweet, smooth and high revs. I also thought a glue gun was a .....glue gun?😁 but watching a granite worktop fitter ,create a hard board template of the worktop and overhang it required, he used a glue gun that wasn't up to the job, and had little flow rate. He swapped to a pro type gun and it made job look easy. I have 2 guns. Both would qualify for , women's crafting glue guns..lol. weak as crap.
Your cutting disk was spinning on the mandrel way way to much. Tighten a little more and it should cut quicker. Dremels EZlock cutting disks are where it's at.
2 min talking.. about nothing. Then turning on tool.. and talking.. Do you watch your videos before you upload it? Talking, while is working.. well not sure did anyone hear even 1 word :P

If anyone needs another cheap option but want to get it at a brick and mortar store, if you have a menards around they have a nice setup, I believe it's master force brand for around $50(in columbus ohio). It comes with a table clamp and a Flex shaft along with various bits.
Don't forget about the cheap $30 harbor freight kit. It's actually good for the money. The corded one is good, cordless lacks imo.
I have used the cheap harbor freight one for finish sanding and polishing of ports on heads and manifolds after the bulk of material has been removed.

I have a Dremel and one from Harbor freight. I hate they’re so loud. You’ll eat the cut off wheels before finishing cuts half the time.
I really gotta get one of those flex shaft things, I think. Would make a rotary tool actually do what I always hope it will, detail work.
Nice that the one you tested didn't sound like it was going to explode if run at full speed no load. Can't say the same for the one I got for $10 on sale at Menards 🤣 That handle is a nice feature too.
It's not just friction. There's usually also a spring connecting the motor to the collet so if you bog it down too much or too many times, it will quite happily destroy itself. Ask me how I know.... (And how I have the internals of a rotary tool in a box...)
I bought a more expensive SureBonder dual power (battery or ac) glue gun once. It's the slowest heating hot glue gun I've ever had. Doh! On the plus side, I got a Gorilla hot glue gun on sale on Amazon for like 10 bucks, dual temp, and it heats up quick and has a good stand... Learned my lesson I guess?
I got it today, it's great Jeff.
Nice little tool, except that the advertising (Amazon) lists this at 160w, scroll down to the specs, it's 130w. At that point it becomes a nope for me. That's 1.1 amp, barely. So it'll be a little under-powered and get hot faster, but as you noted, it's a short run time tool and it will work for a lot of stuff. I'll look for a 1.8 amp motor and yes, that's a significant difference plus you can find them for similar pricing. Yeah, about Dremel, you're right, ain't your grandads tool. I'll pass on that high priced tool. You'll have a good chance of buying 2-4 of the Tilswall, Tacklife, Teccpo, Goxawee or any of the others for the price and power rating of the Dremel that's probably outsourced to one of those companies.
I like the Harborfraight Rotary tool because it is low power and cutting plastic boxes with a high power Dremal the disk tends to explode.
" is it gonna burn you? Yeah probably " you gotta love the Bear!
I have the dermal cordless. I actually don't care much for it but it does work. Even a cheap rotary is fine for what they ARE made for. In fact the cheaper the better. Run the math one costs 80bucks lasts 10yrs, 8$ a yr. One for 10bucks lasts 2yrs 5$ a yr. All's good
OK... taking bear? Subscribed!
"I love these little things" *drops wrench* 😂
If we told the E- tech at work something was broken . The first thing he said was did you let the smoke out ?
Great video Red looks like its got decent cutting discs not a bad little unit for the price @TheDenOfTools
Dude you have a great channel with solid content. If you worked harder on your thumbnails and titles you would have 30k subs.
It will break long before it needs brushes. You can't judge a tool by it looks nice. Take it apart.
No trae seguro sujeccion cable interno, lo cual con un tirón, se podría salir de las cogidas, además ni motor ni rotor trae nada de goma en rodamientos para evitar vibración en alto. Personalmente por el precio las hay mejores incluso a batería. Muy bonita y completa pero no la veo preparada para durar, el botón de encendido apagado lo puedes poner donde lo trae o más adentro si necesitas activar más cómodo.
Hay bear 🐻 💓 here to help get your videos out to everyone 😀 😊 hope you have a wonderful day
I’d love to see that demo along side a Dremel demo. Do you know how it compares? Thank you for sharing your time, experience, knowledge and kindness!! I do appreciate your work. Many blessings.
Honestly, I don't see much difference. The dremel I got from my grandfather 30 years ago died about 5 years back so I bought a new one. I tried it for a week and took it back. Priced like a high end tool but I did not see it in the performance or build.
I got one from sams club with telescoping pole to hang on for 25 bucks
Thanks
Only thing that sucks on all these cheap units is the cheap disc's they give you are junk you use most of them for one small tiny task and have had a ton of close calls because the cheap cutter discs shrapnelthe worst @TheDenOfTools
Even concrete grinders can't run forever... I had two rentals die on me in the same day for simple thinset removal after tile removal. 😅.
What I'd like to find is a right handed rotary tool.
I have a Dremel and a Ryobi (way better). Hey bear I have a question I am in desperate need of a thinkness that won't break the bank do know of anything out there right now? Someone stole mine days right out of my driveway while I was using the damn thing. I went inside to refill my drink and came out and it was gone along with my good clamps that were sitting there. Damn turd nuggets took almost every clamp I owned. I was inside 3 mins tops it was that fast. I was making a bench for some extra $$. Social security disability doesn't pay enough for me to live so I supplement my income with stuff I buildand right now a thinkness planer is important because of the quality and condition of lumber right now. I figured if there was an awesome deal to be had you were the person who would know were to find it.
Hola, yo la tengo y hay cosas que para el precio podría estar mucho mejor, ahora lan bajado creó.
Hidy ho! Thanks for you work. :-)
The cheap rotary tools are ok, the cheap bits are horrible. For my last rotary tool, I went with a cheap cordless and am very happy with it. All of the collets and chucks in all of my rotary tools, cheap and name brand, loose their grip after a little use.
Grampaws rotary tool was a Fordom
If I buy a cheap too I throw away the bits or discs that come with it, even a cheap tool can benefit from a good bit or blade or disc etc. even my name brand circular saws generally have come with cheap blades. Project farm does good videos on things like sawzall blades and drill bits, cheap tool with a good blade!
Dunno what I'd use a rotary tool.for?? Engraving my initials into tools so other Peeps know to KEEP AWAY? lol
The rotary tool motor sounds sweet, smooth and high revs.
I also thought a glue gun was a .....glue gun?😁 but watching a granite worktop fitter ,create a hard board template of the worktop and overhang it required, he used a glue gun that wasn't up to the job, and had little flow rate. He swapped to a pro type gun and it made job look easy.
I have 2 guns. Both would qualify for , women's crafting glue guns..lol. weak as crap.
He's absolutely right once you smell that smoke that baby is over
20% coupon and 20% discount code? I bought one. How could I not?
You're not wrong. The build quality of my Dremel is terrible. The earlier generations of this tool were built much better.
thanks tool bear. the human guy he's ok tho. that tool is worth looking into. if it was cordless.
You just need the bare 🐻necessities!!!🎵🎶🐻
So many shaft jokes. In all seriousness, this looks as good (or better with that case I'm jelly of) as my dremel that is almost an identical kit
there really isn't any reason to be garbo. the dremel is such a simple tool and not particularly stout. it's understood to not be for major tasks.
Your cutting disk was spinning on the mandrel way way to much. Tighten a little more and it should cut quicker.
Dremels EZlock cutting disks are where it's at.
Tilswall paid you ?
I went withe 17 dollar Wen on Amazon. After my dremel died after 20 years
My neighbor and I both have that rotary tool. Solid piece of kit for light duty grinding, polishing, and cutting.
👍👍👍😉
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dremal is over priced for what it will do
HEY GUYS, WANNA HEAR THE MOST ANNOYING SOUND IN THE WORLD?!
2 min talking.. about nothing. Then turning on tool.. and talking.. Do you watch your videos before you upload it? Talking, while is working.. well not sure did anyone hear even 1 word :P
