Review on Wesco WESCO Multifunctinal Rotary Tool WS3113KU 1 by Loren Schmidt

Disclaimer: I received this product for free through the Vine program. I've had a Dremel tool for decades and I've found more and more uses for it over time. I carry it back and forth to our country house when I need to use it there. I ordered this Wesco tool so I can have a rotary tool as well. The Wesco tool motor is rated at 1.4A or 168W. At 168W that's somewhere between the 144W Dremel 3000 and the 175W Dremel 4000. In actual idle I got the motor to, at top speed around 0, draw 6 amps. Using a sanding drum on a piece of wood as a load, I was able to increase the current draw to just over an amp before the sanding drum collapsed. The motor has a little more vibration than my old Dremel 400 but doesn't feel harsh or overly noisy. Ergonomically, the Wesco tool feels a bit more cumbersome than my Dremel, with the power button at the bottom, speed control at the top, and a bulkier form factor. The space inside is used efficiently, leaving little space between the motor, circuit board, switches, bearings and shaft. The Wesco tool has the same thread size on the plastic body as the Dremel tool. I can't vouch for all Dremel accessories but they are good for sharpening my chainsaws and lawnmowers. The attachments that come with it are a flexible extension shaft that works just fine, a cutting guide, and an attachment that has some kind of clear plastic protective sleeve. There is absolutely no documentation for attachments or accessories. The included accessories are not as good as Dremel or better aftermarket accessories. The cutting discs included in the kit are brittle and brittle. The whetstones are sloppily coated with cement and connected to metal shanks. I would recommend using a set of higher quality accessories with this tool. At less than $30, the Wesco tool is inexpensive, powerful, and capable. I wouldn't expect the included accessories to last long and would recommend finding better quality accessories elsewhere.
