I've gone thru two of these Dremels. UPDATE: Given my Dremel wasn't working I disassembled it and found one of the wire leads was not properly connected. The quality looks good. I was cleaning up some fiberglass and after about 10 minutes of use at high RPM it was too hot to hold. Shafts are metal. I shut it down to cool off and it wouldn't start after that. I rarely use them and even then just for short periods. I reconnected the lead, blew out the switch and now it runs sweet.
Replaced the brushes the next day and it ran for about 5 more minutes before it was done. Very useful in its niche, but I'll go with the cheap knockoffs for something that has such a short lifespan. There is no plastic shaft that another reviewer mentions. It has ball bearings on each end where cheaper products would probably have bushings.
If your boyfriend or husband is interested in fixing, hacking, or building things this is a great tool. I purchased this for my boyfriend who loves to build computers and always has a project going. Ever since I bought it for him last year, I have received no complaints. Plus it is easier to get him to help me build things now.
I bought this dremel to file the nails on my 2 large dogs. At this point I don't have a single pencil in my house with an eraser and all of the Sunday cartoon characters are faceless from their dremelling. It works well for that purpose, assuming the dogs cooperate. My kids have found other uses for the dremel. I imagine this tool would work very well on other tasks as it has a nice variable speed. I just haven't used it for anything other than the dog's nails.
My dremel has come in handy at least 3 times since I have gotten it. I used it to cut some metal and sharpen my pruning shears. I am very happy I got this tool.
THIS REVIEW IS FOR AMAZON NOT THE DREMEL: Amazon sent me a greasy and dirty obviously returned Dremel. Amazon is really going down the drain. This is not the first time they have sent me a used item. Amazon I give 1 star, the Dremel 5 stars.
