Customer Review: I LOVE my Dremel. It does (almost) everything!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned a few of these tools, and they haven't disapointed me.
I love my Dremels; they can do just about any light-duty household or home improvement task you ask of them.
I got this one for Christmas in 2006, and have used it for the last two years. I've never had a problem with it, and it's performed flawlessly in everything I've asked it to do, and even some things it's not supposed to do!
This is the new version of the XPR and Multi-Pro model. Carried over from the other models are the ball-bearing supported motorshaft, adjustible speeds from 5,000-35,000 RPM's, replacable motor brushes, and the 1/8 inch quick-change collets. The XPR2's casing is redesigned with a larger cooling fan and inlets. This is because the motor has been replaced with a larger, more powerful one. The old Milti-Pro's and XPR's had 1-1.5 amp motors; the XPR2 has a 2-amp motor, which gives more torque, power, and increases the max RPM rating to 35,000. This is the same as the XPR and lower-end (AC, not battery) Dremels, but the 2-amp motor means it can do more (with the optional mini planer, circular saw, router, and flex shaft attachments), and do it more quickly and efficiently.
So far, I haven't had a major problem with this one. It's served me faithfully, and done what I needed it to without complaining. The only problem it's given me was using the mini-circular saw attachment to cut some countertop laminate. the saw bound, and it overheated to the point it released its magic blue smoke, and the motor burned up.
It was under warranty, so I sent it back to Dremel, and they sent me a new one, free!
I use these for everything from sanding, shaping, polishing, planing, routing, drilling, cleaning, cutting plastic, steel, aluminum, brass, copper, deburring, grinding, engraving, and sharpening. The endless number and variety of tools and accessories (drill press, diamond cutting bits, a router, mini-planer, flex-shaft compatibility, spiral saws, mini drill bits) means this tool can do pretty much everything you'd expect a small powertool to do, even some things a larger tool can do!
The manual specs a maximum attachment diameter of 1-1/4 inches, but I run a 2-inch polishing wheel on mine no problem!
If you are looking for an electric rotary tool, look no further. The new battery powered Dremels are nice and worlds better than the old ones, but if you are looking for power, go for the XPR2. This tool really can do almost everything. The only thing it can't do is drive nails!
