5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool and value for money - I'm thrilled!

C.M. · 1 March 2017

I decided it was finally time to cave in and buy a dremel, as I am a hobbyist with a wide range of hobbies that this will come in useful for, and also for those odd DIY jobs around the house. I can say that so far it has been absolutely brilliant.The packaging is rather minimal, just a cardboard box with the case inside. Some reviewers on Bolo have complained about the case being flimsy and poorly made, but personally I find the case to be perfectly fine and ideal for storing the dremel in (plus it also has space for my safety glasses and dust mask, which I would say are accessories you MUST buy to go with this dremel as it can send dust and dirt flying). Maybe I had lower expectations than other reviewers, but I find it great that they include a case to go with it at all, and this case is certainly sturdy enough for the job.The tool itself is great, featuring five different speeds. I was one of those people who couldn't see the need for different speeds and thought I'd have it on high all the time, but the different speeds definitely come in handy as what one speed is good for is bad for another.When I was deciding which model of Dremel to buy, I had no idea what all this talk of mandrels and collets and stuff was, so I will endeavour to explain in my review. The collet is the piece which you insert the pieces into the dremel, and it holds onto them. There is a lot of talk in other reviews about multi-chucks, which will allow you to insert third party attachments of different sizes without the need for an assortment of collets. The accessories that come with the Dremel all fit into the collet provided without any adjustment, but if you were going to buy some third party accessories that required different sized collets, I can see how a multi-chuck attachment would come in handy. The mandrel, on the other hand, is the long metal piece which you screw the saw attachments into.The instructions that come with the tool are indeed dire. Saying they are dire is actually too high a praise, as I found them to be confusing and absolutely no help whatsoever. I consider myself a pretty smart, switched on person, but even for me it took me 10-15 to figure it out, during which time I thought I had broken the tool (word of advice: you need to push the piece into the collet quite hard the first time you use it, even though it looks like it won't go in), but I got there in the end.The "EZ Twist" feature that is so keenly advertised is something of nothing, as it's perfectly easy for me to just twist the collet with my fingers, but perhaps it would be useful for someone without my slim, lady fingers.The "15" accessories that come with the tool is a slight exaggeration. I found it difficult to find online what exactly you get with it, so here is the list:- Grinding stone- 2 polishing pads with one screw in mandrel- 1 bristle cleaning brush- 4 cutting disks with one screw mandrel- 4 sanding bands with one holder- 1 drill attachment- 1 wrench/screwdriverWhile it is 15 accessories, that's not 15 different functions, but I have found that for general use for DIY around the house, it's got everything you need to start off. Additional accessories are available online rather cheaply, should you want anything else, and there are dozens of different attachments you can get. One gripe I do have is that I have managed to break 3 of the 4 cutting disks that came with it within a week of (fairly hardcore) cutting, but since I can get 18 more for £1.50 on Bolo, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.I've had this Dremel a week now, and in that time I have successfully cut through thick plastic, cut through PVC pipe, cut, drilled and sanded wood, used the bristle brush to clean silicone residue from glass and it has dealt with all of these tasks without issue. I actually found that with cutting the plastic and wood, the higher speeds were so fast that the plastic melted and the wood burned so it just goes to show how powerful this tool is. Not a problem though, as you just turn the speed down. Admittedly, it is not always the ideal tool for the job. There is another reviewer on Bolo complaining that he struggled to cut enough tiles for his entire bathroom with this tool. It is definitely not the ideal tool for pretty much any job you can do with this, but it can deal with more heavy duty tasks. If you live in a flat, or even if you just don't want your shed filled and the expense of a separate saw, drill, cleaner, polisher, sander etc etc etc, then this tool is absolutely ideal and I am thrilled with it.The power cable is sufficiently long and doesn't get in the way at all. I did consider going for a cordless version, but even on the packaging Dremel admit that the cordless versions just aren't as powerful as the corded ones.To conclude, this is not the ideal tool for any job, but if you want a tool that is capable of A LOT of jobs then this is the one for you and it represents excellent value for money. I'd like to knock off some points for the diabolical instructions and the broken cutting disks, but all in all the tool is so brilliant and has so many uses that I can't comfortably do that, as it's only a minor irritation.

It’s very ergonomic design and build makes it fit in the hand nicely. It comes with a box of accessories but would recommend buying more. It’s very powerful and great for engraving and other jobs. Highly recommend. This is the second one I’ve bought and am very satisfied.

Works fine

5.0 out of 5 stars How have I lived without this!

This arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time on quite a large project. I am absolutely amazed at the power and how it makes light work of drilling, sanding etc. I will buy a few more attachments, because I'm sure, as a crafter and general DIY person, I can find loads of uses.A professional carpenter told me not to buy anything but a Dremel for the jobs I have. I can totally see why.My only criticism would be that the on/off button could be designed to flick quickly while in the hand (maybe I'll get used to it) and the lead could be slightly longer.Overall, I love it!

Although I would have preferred the cordless one, this works great and the amount of options make this almost the one tool you need. I use it daily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad

P.B. · 11 January 2025

Replacement for my previous 3000 model. This model has a couple of flaws, the chuck lock wears out making removal of drills almost impossible, and the motor brushes need replacing often. But it is good value and has the advantage of being mains operated, so no battery to go flat during a job.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my third one I have now you can never have enough

Great buy

Writing review after many months of use. Great product for crafts demanding detailing works, like miniature wood carving, small drilling, glass carving, etc etc. Many accessories are available on market, which can extend the possibilities of this machine

I bought this item on the Bolo.com. AU site so I assumed the item would be for use in Australia. When it arrived the power cord does not plug into Australian outlets.

Good Tool
