Dremel 3000-1/25 1.2 Amp Corded Variable Speed Rotary Tool, 1 Attachment and 25 Accessories

My 1970's variable speed model 380 stopped being "variable". Parts are no longer available for the 380, so it was replaced with model 3000 which is also variable speed. I received it about a week ago and have used it some. I am vary pleased with it's performance.

This is one of the best possessions I own! The things you can do with this tool are endless. The accessories that came with my kit, along with the ones I've picked up, have taken the place of multiple, bulky other hand tools. There's not too much that I can't do with my my new Dremel! My one and only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner!

I ne ded a tool to cut the ceramic tile around the bottom of my kitchen cabinets in order to replace flooring and not have to jack cabinets up. Worked great!

I used this tool immediately after purchase to trim some aluminum extrusions. Worked flawlessly and I'm very pleased. Easy to hold and trim and operate

I own several Dremel Tools and some are more than 15 years old. Even after very heavy use, they continue to perform superbly. These are the only brand that I would buy.

My son has a Dremel and after using it, I found it to be a very useful tool. I bought a cheaper brand, but it did not hold up. So, I purchased a Dremel this time around.

I bought this to use in jewelry finishing. It is great for small items and tight spots. I like the variable speeds--I feel like it gives me more control. It is already proving highly useful!

When I bought my new house I borrowed my Dad's old Dremel 200. Lo and behold he needed it back so I was in the market to buy a 200 for myself. I stumbled upon the Model 3000 at Lowe's for the same price and had to make the upgrade. The 3000's built in wrench plus other accessories like the shield are extremely handy! The only drawback to the 3000 is the diameter of the tool around the head is broader so it is not as ergonomic as the older Dremel 200 but the 10 speeds certainly makes up for it!

The tool is light and ergonomically perfect for use as a small router to outline intricate patterns that I then carve in low relief with chisels and gouges. The 566 depth gauge and stand works well but I expect it may become unstable with use as the metal retention screw degrades the palstic collet. I like the variable speed option but the adjustment slide button is tool small.

I just bought another Dremel 3000 to replace my other Dremel 3000 that burned out. I was hoping that Dremel would have something much better for sale but they didn't and I reluctantly purchased essentially the same one again.
