Dremel 3000-2/28 Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit - 1 Attachments & 28 Accessories - Perfect for Routing, Metal Cutting, Wood Carving, Grinding, Sanding, Polishing, & Engraving

A capable little tool with lots of accessories. So far I've only had the opportunity to use it for two projects: 1) Cutting staples out of wooden boxes. The staples were stuck, so I was cutting off the exposed ends of them. It wasn't as fast as an angle grinder, but got the job done quickly and with no hassle. 2) Routing a 1/4" groove in some sort of soft-ish wood. I had to buy a separate bit for this, but did NOT buy an actual router guide - I just used the freehand tool that came in the package. It was easy to control but difficult to cut in a straight line, especially around knots. It was also less powerful than I would have liked, but that's sort of what you get with a high-speed / low-torque tool like this. Conclusion: it did two jobs that would have typically required two different tools whose prices would have added up to or surpassed the cost of this one. The Dremel 3000 may not be the most powerful tool out there, but it more than makes up for it in versatility and price.

I needed a tool to grind down a piece of metal so that it would fit my project. I used it for about 10-12 hours and with just a few hours breaks in between, it did the job without power loss. I tried other types of rotary tools but this one was way better. This one was reasonably priced and ran like a champ. I would be purchasing more Dremel tools in the future.

All I know is that the ability to saw through a nail with the cutting wheel is amazing. This opens up some doors of creativity! The speed switch is a little iffy at the lower speeds. Sometimes it comes on but sometimes it takes a push to level 2 b4 it'll even come on. Not sure if this is for all units or just mine. It's not a huge deal. You get a decent variety of attachments so I recommend this to anyone who wants to CUT METAL or grind metal. I even used this to grind down some cutting pliers so the face would be flush so I could use them to pull fretwire from guitar necks. This dremel tool is amazing.

From what I've seen and heard this may not be the best Dremel in their series but that doesn't really matter since the reason I got it was to save $30 in the time being. It feels solid and like it is made to dominate all materials. I was using the cutoff wheels to make precise cuts in 1/8" steel and it did so slowly but precisely. My only recommendation if you decide to get this for heavy use is to buy a package with more accessories because I've only been using it for like 2 hours and I'm already down a cutoff wheel and a half. Other than that if you plan on using it for lighter materials I'm confident it would be a fast and efficient tool to do so.

Works well in sanding down Resin Art Work, and other creative projects like wood, and plastic and metal. It’s perfect for smaller jobs. Works really well for what I need it for!

This Moto-tool (As it used to be called some years ago) was my choice to replace my 20 year old model that really needed replacement. It is very good, strong and very reliable. Also, the plastic case was redesigned and I do like the new lay out. And the best issue is the "EZ Twist Nose Cap" is a very clever and convenient feature. No more lost wrenches to change the tools!! Congratulations. Dremel: keep them turning out as good as you have done for the past 87 years!!

I got this for my neighbor who had visions of turning his basement into a Tiki Bar. I decided to get him this Dremel as an early birthday present. He started with a small amount of carving and expanded from there. He has been working on his Tiki Bar for about 3 months and is almost done. Can't wait for the Mai Tai so he can relax a bit. He praises the tool and makes one piece of advice. Buy the Dremel bits, they may cost a little more, but the are far superior than the cheap copies.

Have to admit, after reading all the negative reviews, I wasn’t sure about this Dremel. I was looking for something to build costumes that was relatively lightweight, easy to hold and that would work for a novice power tool user. I wasn’t interested in cutting my husband’s toenails or building a full scale model of the Effel Tower. All I needed was a tool that would drill, cut and sand. It does all that with ease. I’m really glad didn’t listen to the nay-sayers. I absolutely love the variable speeds and the ease with which tools can be changed. I had to purchase drill bits and extra colletes because the tool kit that comes standard with most Dremel is sparse. Once I obtained the tools I needed, I set to work and found out how wonderful this particular Dremel is for a cosplay princess like me! As I said, the tool kit needs to be supplemented but the most important item is included; the instruction manual. If you read it first, you shouldn’t have any problems operating the Dremel 3000.
