I have Dremel tools for many, many uses, many years. Actually a couple of decades. This little grinder/grinder is NOT a Dremel, but neither is it in the price range where you would expect to pay 2 or 3 times the cost of this tool. I've used this Hammerhead rotary power tool on several projects this summer, including grinding an extra shaping comb on some concrete statues I bought to paint as gifts this Christmas season. This kit comes with a flexible tool which is very handy and not found in other manufacturers' kits in the same general price range. So be sure whether or not there is a flexible tool before deciding on a kit - because just that tool can cost an extra $25 or so - almost the cost of this entire kit! I also tested another rotary tool with a kit that did NOT include a flex tool - it was much easier for a hand with a chronic hand injury to use a flex shaft, so I ultimately decided I would use this tool for this type of prefer work. . The great thing about all these rotary tools is that all sets of spare parts are interchangeable. Whether you're spending money on branded tools or opting for a economy tool, you can buy economy sets for extra whetstones, sanding drums and cut-off wheels. Buy extra bits when you find them on sale because if you use your tool frequently, you'll be thankful they're available! I once used a Dremel to cut thick, strong steel plate on a 1966 Plymouth Fury I - it took FIVE cut-off wheels to complete the job, so plan for extra bits for those tough jobs. And always wear safety goggles! At this price this would make a great gift for a young person to get them excited about some really nifty hobbies too! I recommend Hammerhead flex shaft rotary tool which is worth it's value and not necessarily paying 3x more for a popular brand rotary tool.
