This is the second one I have purchased the first one I had for many years and put it to work on a lot of difficult products but it just kept going. So when that one finally bit the dust I went back to the same old faithful. My brother has had many more expensive dremels and they have not lasted or held up as well. The black&decker is a great value for such a great product.

I have used two of them for many months now. MANY MANY HOURS! I was super impressed to begin with BUT then things went south. The main problem and at the same time with both...THE SLOPPY RUNOUT of the chucks. What happens is the plastic around the bearing is WAY too under engineered. I am a retired tool&die maker and it took my knowledge to fix these things. Desk Jockey Engineers put special screws in the first housing holes to keep you from taking the housing apart. Then Torx screw in the back screws. I made a special tool to remove the anti-tamper screws and had the right torx also. I had to build up the inside walls around the bearing with epoxy and install new bearings on both units. They are still good deal for the money. I had my Dremel for many years. I don't know..it is a toss up. I like these but the chuck runout is a killer.Read full review

Great price and product. Well made. Better than expected . Better than a dremel for the price. Got two for 1 Dremel price. Has 3 speed settings and all in between speeds available on dial SO IT'S VARIABLE!!! FLEXSHAFT IS A MUST FOR LAPIDARY but must use a key on shaft to lock it unlike drill switch that is convenient. RT5100 RTX is for this tool keeps the warranty and works great with a fixed (marker like) handpiece. Fits 3mm accessories out the box. Order a 3/32" collet for 2.35mm accessories and anything else use dremel 4486 chuck for 0.3-3.4mm or gyros micro chuck for micro bits (drill, polishing pins). Get a good collet set the cheap 10 piece brass sets collets break (1+ dollar). Get the Dewalt rtx collets or the OEM rtx ones; they are completely solid and worth the extra few dollars. You need accessories so shop around i have 300+ mandrels for 35-50 dollars with diamond coating for rocks mostly 3mm some 2.35mm (you'll need both 1/8" & 3/32" collets or 4486). Be very careful to get right chuck sizes and mandrels and "HERE WE GO". 1-12,000rpm,2-24,000rpm,3-30,000rpm are settings-3 speed. If you want the better (industrial) version get the RTX2A which comes in a hard case and much more. It has more torque in the motor and is 2× as powerful. It also has 6 speeds starting at 8,000 rpm not 12,000 (More like a FOREDOM or dremel).Read full review

Excellent quality, great design and useful features make this rotary tool the best value in the market. The lockout lever allows tool changes without the fear of accidentally damaging the tool by inadvertently hitting a lock button or key while running that strip strip the shaft. The collar is the same diameter and thread of the Dremel giving this tool maximum compatibility with all Dremel accessories and attachments. The 2 amp motor is stronger than any Dremel made. The three speed is a little misleading ... the RTX is actually continuously variable with with three specific detents at 12, 24 and 30,000 rpms to insure certain tool compliance. Given this tool cost a quarter of a comparable Dremel without giving up any major quality differences, makes this tool a hard purchase to ignore. Give a try .... you will like it!!Read full review
