Welding/Plasma DEWALT D55140 1-Gallon 135Roberts

As an artist who does light sculpting for my paintings, I needed a tool that had a bit of finesse. Something I could do nitpicky little details with. I currently own a Dremel 750-02 Minimite, which has sufficed. However, for some jobs I just... well, I need more power. My little Dremel, while a good tool, just didn't have the power to cut into harder woods like oak.

As an artist, I'm also consistently broke. The comparable Dremel tool would be the 400 series (slightly higher speed at 35000 rpm, as opposed to this tool's 30000 rpm top speed) which costs $90. I figured that for $30, I could take a risk, especially when Black & Decker is a name that I can trust. I was not disappointed. There's a few things that I find to be superior on this tool when compared to its Dremel counterparts.

1. The price. At a third of the price, I can't complain.
2. The spindle lock is a switch, rather than a button. One of my complaints about the Dremel line is that the spindle lock is a little TOO easy to press... as in I press it when I'm working on something. In this case, there's a switch to lock the spindle, the design of which is fairly hard to do on accident. (This was a major issue I had with the MiniMite, but I believe they may have adjusted this on the Dremel 400 models)
3. The torque on this model is exceptional. I've been carving through oak like it's butter.

And in case you were concerned: ALL OF YOUR DREMEL BITS WILL WORK ON THIS TOOL. Get a collet set if you're concerned about the size of the bits, they're dirt-cheap. Like Dremel's rotary tools, this has a 5-year manufacturer warranty. In other words: This is a nice piece of hardware, and it's at a price I couldn't sneeze at.Makita TD020DSEW 7.2-Volt DEWALT DCK211S2 12-Volt Rockwell RK5102KPorter-Cable PC600JS 6Porter-Cable 557 7DEWALT DW734 15 Bosch 1594K 6.5 Kawasaki 840581 11 Makita 9403 11 DEWALT DCF895C2 20-Volt DEWALT DW758Rockwell RK2515K2.2 3RILL 3-in-1 12-VoltMakita LCT209W 12VDEWALT DCK590L2 20-VoltMakita MAC2400 Porter-Cable PC14CTSD Rockwell RK7321 DEWALT DW716 15 Makita LXT239 18-VoltBosch RH328VC
