20-Volt Hitachi CN16SA 16 Campbell Hausfeld HU500000AV 8-

About a year ago I bought an inexpensive dremel-type tool from a tool outlet. It never really worked and soon quit altogether so I worried about buying another one that was not a genuine Dremel. But I took a chance on the B&D name. It used to mean quality but lately the story has changed. Well this little gem may change my mind. In the first few minutes of use, it has ripped through some projects and seems to be completely up to the task. A really nice surprise for half the price of the cheapest Dremel. For the price you can't beat it.

And though it says three speed those are only the "stops" on the speed adjustment; my experience is that it is adjustable between those. The quick tool change seems to work fine although that may be the weak link. The plastic catch seems cheap so I'll need to watch how rough I handle it.This is a very nice tool that can do almost anything. It is also just as good as a Dremel because I once had one of those. For 1/4 the price as well it's a steal. It also has a nice lock/unlock function that the dremel didn't for safety when changing bits. I have to remember to use that though when I am using the flex shaft. But this tool does a very nice job at finishing off wood. Hollowing out wood takes some time, but I think I need thicker cutters for that than the ones I have. The stuff that comes in this kit is a carrying pouch, the tool, 2 coarse sandpaper drums, 3 finer sandpaper drums, and the handy wrench tool. It has 3 speeds, low, medium, and high. For cutting I was advised to use medium to avoid burn out and it functions just as well as high. For engraving though high is much better. I highly advise checking this one out before spending the money on the overpriced Dremel. Just as good if not better a tool than that one. You don't get many accessories with this one, but I bought a kit that had almost everything and then some for less than $20 on Amazon.com. Go pick one up today!
