About Dremel: A History of Brilliance and Innovation
Founded in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin, Dremel is the industry leader in rotary tools. The company owes its success to the inventive genius of its founder and namesake, Albert J. Dremel. In his lifetime, Mr. Dremel owned 55 patents on a wide range of products from electric erasers to a gas-powered rotary lawn mower. His most famous and important invention was a high-speed rotary tool dubbed the Dremel Moto-Tool. Compact, lightweight, and perfect for a wide range of jobs, the rotary tool was an immediate hit with hobbyists and eventually became accepted as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Today, the Dremel name remains synonymous with utility, durability, and innovation.

« You can't afford not to have it. »

The tool is well worth the money, granted its not as powerful as the Fein but then again its 25% of the cost and replacement blades can be found anywhere from Walmart, HD and Lowes. I used mine for detail sanding and for cutting the door jambs for doing a hardwood floor install and could not be happier with the results and use of the tool. There is a washer to assist in the blades loosening. Just email Dremel and they will send one out asap. GREAT TOOL for awkward fizes and places that are hard to get to.

« Convenient for small jobs, but lacks power for larger ones »

This tool is perfect for the weekend DIY-er, but is most appropriate for very small jobs. I have had success with short cuts in light wood (builder's doors, flag poles, particle wood) and the tool is a convenient size for these jobs.

My only problem so far was when I tried to cut an inch off the bottom of an interior solid wood door. The tool got the job done, but with a fair amount of sweat and elbow grease. I haven't had any problems yet with it overheating, but the tool does get quite warm to the touch. Also, because this is an oscillatory tool, the saw has a tendency to jump around if not held firmly in place when making cuts.

The sanding feature is nice, as the triangular shape of the sanding pad allows for access into corners. However the sanding pads are velcro-backed and are specific to this tool. So replacing them could be costly if you have a larger job and will require multiple pads.

Overall, I've been pleased with this tool as an addition to my collection when breaking out the circular saw seems like overkill. I would definitely recommend this tool for quick jobs around the house with its limitations in mind.

PROS:
-convenient size
-multiple functionality in one tool
-availability of optional accessories

CONS:
-oscillatory action of saw can make erratic cuts if not held firmly
-not appropriate for thick wood, large jobs

« disappointed »

I bought this item as a gift for my son-in-law who is a plumber and carpenter. Due to health issues he cannot work as he used to and has gotten depressed. After seeing this item and reading reviews about it,& watching videos on the dremmel site, I thought it would be a good tool for small craft and home repair jobs to pick his spirits up. The tool did not perform at all as advertised in videos on the dremmel site. The scrapper did not work well, had a difficult time removing old glue and dug into the wood very badly causing damage to the area being worked on. The wood/dry wall saw blade was another real disapointment. It took over 1/2 an hour to cut through a 6" length of dry wall!! It had very poor power. Oh,yeah, the way the attachments go on, with the bolt on the bottom, prevents being able to get flush work as advertised. I thought this was a reputalble brand name that I could count on and it wasn't. I am disappointed beyond my ability to describe.

« dremel multi-max »

I cant say I am that happy with it. I was expecting more power. I the scraper did not work that well for me. I dug badly into my wood trying to use it. I used the drywall cutter that was easy to use not as fast as I thought though. The sander was good for small projects. I damaged the tip of the base pushing on it in the corners of the stairs make sure you do not do this. Not expensive for a new one if you do though.

« Great tool for in-place jobs »

During my installation of a new screen door, I found that it wouldn't be able to close without cutting out some of the wood frame all around the door. After chiseling the jamb a little at at time, I found that I would have to cut about 1/2" off the jamb. I did one side in a couple hours and called it a night. That night I thought about the Fein MultiMaster 250 Start Power Sanding and Scraping/Cutting Tool info-mercial and how that tool could be a big help in cutting the jamb in-place since I didn't want to remove it and didn't have a table saw to cut it anyway. So, the next day I went to Home Depot and purchased the Dremel 6300-05 120-Volt Multi-Max Oscillating Kit for $109. I would have bought it from Amazon, but I wanted to finish installing the door right away.

USE: The Dremel is quite easy to use. The attachments are not quite "quick-change" since you have to use an (included) allen wrench to loosen a screw and place the "bit" under the washer and onto 12 pegs (which helps secure the "bit" into place) then tighten the screw to secure it. Cutting was fairly easy; I used the rectangular shaped wood and metal cutting tool, but it was a little difficult getting the "feel" of where it was cutting once it was into the wood a good amount. (Now that I think about it, perhaps I should have used the circular wood cutting tool or at least tried it, duh.) The tool is multi-speed (1-10) and cut through the wood pretty easily (on 8 speed). The sanding "bit" was a little more of a challenge to get on as it required the complete removal of the screw and washer assembly in order to get the sanding pad on. I don't know if my pad is a little defective, but it was a little difficult to get it on the pegs. Once on , however, the tool did an excellent job of sanding the frame down to a nice smooth finish. (Although one corner of the "hook & loop" pad got totally wrecked - its a good thing there's three corners to use.)

OVERVIEW: Overall, I was satisfied with the tool. It cut quite well and sanded great. Putting on the attachments was fairly easy, except for the sanding pad. The product description on this site says that it creates low dust, but it made a good amount of dust. Though that is expected when cutting wood with a high speed tool. And it also said that it was quiet, but the next time I use this tool, I am using earplugs because at that high rpm (close to 20,000) it pretty much screams when cutting and my ears felt like I was at a rock concert afterward. I would also recommend a dust mask and closed eye protection for the dust. For the price (cheaper than the competition), the Dremel did a good job and is, to me, a reputable, trusted brand.
