Very versatile. This is now my second Dremel. My first one lasted more years than I can remember. I can see the improvements Dremel has made. A great value made greater.

Used my brand new Dremel 4000 to do some light sanding for approximately 20 minutes over a period of two days. Worked great the first day and after about 5 minutes of sanding on the second day the thing just crapped out and now I have an $83.00 POS. I purchased Dremel because of their solid reputation for being dependable. Guess they don't make them like they used to.

I have used this tool for 2 years before writing this review. Its a great tool & I think its great in any household or lapidary shop. The pros outweight the cons. First the pros. PROS: outstanding versatility for a number of jobs. Polishing, carving, shaping, sanding, drilling or cutting? This is for you. Plenty of power. My toughest jobs with this tool have been cutting and drilling granite and other hard stone and with 2" & 3" non-Dremel diamond wheels & diamond core bits with water as heat eliminating lubricant. This tool can handle that and keep going. You can find a lot of accessories (ie cutting wheels, polishing wheels, etc) online that are not Dremel & they will work & save you money. CONS: The revolutions spin in a direction that are advantageous to a left handed person, meaning, if you are cutting or sanding right handed debris is directed back toward your face/body unless you are using the small shield adapter that you can affix (but then its hard to see your work). The tool eventually becomes pretty darn hot, so, take a coffee break now & then when you sense the motor getting hot. The tool has air intake and other spots where the dust you are creating from your project gets sucked into the internals of the tool. This is more of an issue when working indoors. I use a shop vac when cutting indoors to reduce dust or try to work outside using the breeze to drift dust/debris. You should use a dust mask and definitely use eye protection.Read full review

I had a problem with the Dremel 300 that I have used extensively in the past year and a half during a home remodel. On its last use the collett stuck and could not be losened to remove the tool because the shaft locking button no longer would lock the shaft. I found the 4000 at a good price. It is much more robust and powerful than the 300. I am satisfied with my purchase.

I always thought I should have this set, why is really beyond me I'm not much of a hobby person but now that I have one, will I ever have use for it ? Is it something I can use around the house ? Only time will tell. Arnie
