GET THIS, DON'T WAIT, NOT ANOTHER SECOND, BUY THIS! Don't use that Dremel anymore, this is a zillions times better in everyway. That little dremel is like riding a kids bike compared to a 20 speed touring bike. I'm sorry I waited so long even though my Dremel was rechargeable and comfortable, it did NOT have the power, stamina and control in any way that this Foredom has, nope, not even close, not even in the same world. I love everything about it, even the foot pedal that I though looked like a Frankenstein pedal, it is great!!! The pedal stays put, gives you excellent speed control without thinking about it and you will find it amazing! Buy this, now, and donate your Dremel to the local Hospice Thrift store. Definitely.

I was doing some metal cutting with a dremel handheld tool. I could go a few minutes with the dremel, then it got very hot, and I would have to set it down and let it cool. I was getting about a 20% duty cycle out of the dremel and it was taking forever.
I can't stress how much better this thing is than the dremel. The first benefit was that rather than having to duty-cycle the tool and let it cool down, I was able to work continuous. The second benefit is that this tool provides torque at low RPM whereas the dremel does that. You don't always want your tool to be screaming along at tens of thousands of RPM. Sometimes it's more efficient to work at a slower speed with greater torque.
The biggest hassle of this thing though is needing to hang the motor somewhere. They do sell stands for it, and those would probably be a wise investment. I'm currently using a hook on the shelf above my workbench, but it's a little low and inconvenient.
They also sell a drill press that looks miles ahead of the flimsy crappy dremel drill press. I'm planning on getting one of those.

This would normally be a good product. I've used many Foredom flex shaft tools and they are sturdy items. Unfortunately there is something wrong with the chuck or the chuck key in the two kits I've purchased. I returned the first kit because it wouldn't move. I've sent the handpiece and chuck key to Foredom for repair on the second kit.
The pricing on this was excellent for me. However, after several months of intermittent use, I have noticed some rust on the handpiece, not sure if this is a normal occurence, but it has not hindered the function at all, so I do not mind too much. I have seen other brands of flexshafts come at a cheaper price, so I do want to try those eventually, but this is the industry standard, so I can't complain. Giving 4 stars due to the minor rusting, but other than that, it works great.
