The Dremel rotary tool idea was great to begin with, but now, they've revved up the basic rotary tool and added some exclusive attachments that make the XPR series one of the coolest tools we get to try. This one's got all the bells and whistles of previous models and tackles the same tasks: you can carve, grind, polish, trim, sand, cut a wide range of material, shape, sharpen, clean, remove grout, smooth, drill, rout, sculpt, engrave, strip finishes. Similarly, it has Dremel's huge array of accessory possibilities and the variable speed (from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm), but it has almost twice the amperage of its predecessors for plenty of power. In addition, the speed selector switch is separate from the power switch, allowing you to leave the tool at a certain speed setting for next time. Its design is a bit of departure, and that's a matter of user preference, but after some getting-used to, we like it. The primary reason you'd step up to this model from another rotary, though, is the plethora of great attachments made only for the XPR that emulate shop full of tools. Hands down, our favorite is the MultiSaw. Just attach it and your rotary tool becomes a mini reciprocating saw, making straight and curved cuts in a variety of materials. Using standard jigsaw blades, you can cut soft and hard wood, ply, metal, PVC, plastic and more. Next, there's the planer head that turns your Dremel into a portable planer. It's designed for two types of planing - straight and at 45 degrees, with a width capacity of 2-1/8 inches, perfect for a warped or sticking door. Though we didn't try any shaping or carving with it, we think it would do a great job of it, too. There's also a flex light exclusive to this series that dovetails easily into a groove on the rear of the tool. It's powered by lithium ion batteries (included) and does a fantastic job illuminating detailed work pieces. As with all the other Dremel rotaries, you can attach the flex shaft for super-fine detail work as well as reaching into places practically no tool has gone before. The circle cutter's easy to use, too, and works like a charm, giving you perfect circular cutouts every time. And everything has its place in the well-designed storage case, making the whole shebang perfectly portable. If you're a rotary tool fan, you'll love the XPR. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 Have not used it all yet, but so far so good July 11, 2008
I have used the dremel and the cable extension along with some of the bits. The variable speed tool works very well. The case it excellent! It offers tons of storage options and the small boxes attach on to the main case securely but still come off easily when you need them. The diagrams on the box bottom which shows what bits go in is a great idea. Now you know if one is worn out which one to order. Plus it classifies the bits into categories which does provide further help in deciding which bit to use for what job. I have not used the larger attachments as yet.
 Great Kit June 19, 2008
I really love this kit...with a couple more attachments I can do almost all the jobs around the house...

 Pure Junk May 18, 2008
I bought one, and burned it out in less than 15 minutes of some light sanding using a 7/8" 80 grit flapper wheel on an aluminum part. Thinking I had gotten a factory defect, amazon exchanged it for me with a new one.
I got it, and set it off to the side, since i had already finished with my other project. Today I picked it up for a new project, I had to cut a small hole into some 20 ga. sheet metal. 10 mins into it with a cutoff wheel, and this one went up in smoke also.
I know I'm not over-using it, I had a similar craftsman rotary tool for over 15 years that I've used for much heavier projects. I figured it was getting old and I'd treat myself and step up to the heavier duty 2.0 amp motor, and the actual dremel brand name tool, thinking it would be better. Boy, was this ever a real awakening. I figured dremel would have been a better product. It's not. I will steer clear of anything branded dremel from now on. It's a toy, not a tool. Wish I could get my old craftsman back, gave that away to a friend. I would go to a craftsman again, but they now appear to be just a rebranded dremel. I never figured there would be a market for vintage rotary tools, but maybe I'll go search ebay for a tool that was actually made with quality, and built to last. this poor thing surely wasn't.
Such an awesome tool May 9, 2008
This thing is so versatile and handy! I bought it initially to do some lapidary work but have found so many uses for it! It does tend to run a little hot after awhile but I guess thats to be expected when you got this things rpm's maxed because it screams with speed when you want it too.
Going to buy my girlfriend one now too because she realized that it actually can be adjusted to 5000rpms which is 1000 less then the tool that the lady that does he nails at the saloon uses so now she is always wanting to borrow mine.
I Just wish they would make foot pedal that you can adjust the speed with, would make a lot of the work I like to do much easier. Overall though this thing is the best and I would be lost without it, lol I guess my girlfriend too.
