Dremel 4000-2/30 120 V Variable Speed High Performance Rotary Tool Kit

GET THIS DREMEL (with Prime shipping) I damaged my 7 year-old Dremel and had to replace it. Over the course of 7 years, I used my Dremel every week to grind my dogs' nails. One dog has soft nails and the other's nails are dense. I got my puppy 7 years ago and got a second dog 5 years ago. I tried one of the grinders marketed for doing dog nails and those are crap. Over 7 years, I ground down 2 sets of pug toenails every week. I also used my Dremel to remove a section of baseboard for bookshelf installation. So I can't comment on many of the uses for a Dremel. When it was time to replace it, I looked for a version with a separate on/off switch from the speed knob. I also wanted one that was at least 30,000 RPM. That led to the Dremel 4000. I didn't need the case and really only needed one sanding accessory, but that's not an option. DON'T BUY THE UBANTE - While searching for the Dremel 4000, I noticed the cost started at $75, and that there was an UBANTE U300 with variable speed from 10,000 to 37,000 RPM. It had good reviews (4 1/2 stars and quite a few reviews). Since I use it for only one thing (dog nails), I thought it would be fine. It was not. The sanding head was either way too rough or way too smooth, and didn't even fit snugly on any of the shafts. When I ground the dogs' nails, the rotary tool slowed down and jerked when I touched their nails. It couldn't maintain its speed. It also ran very hot. My poor dogs, which are perfectly calm for nail trimmings kept jerking and trying to get away. After 2 uses, the entire casing began vibrating enough to make my hand go numb. I'm throwing this unit away. I'm not even going to insult someone by giving them this. I have no idea how this garbage got a 4-star rating. BUY WITH PRIME SHIPPING - I immediately ordered a Dremel 4000. There were 2 options - with Prime for $75, and Free shipping and one-week delivery for $45 from VMInnovations. I could wait a week to trim my dogs' nails. So I ordered the Dremel 4000 with free shipping. The order information told me that the item would arrive in 4-8 days. The same day that I ordered it, the seller indicated that the item was on its way to the carrier. Yay! I was hopeful that it would arrive in 4 days. On the 4th day, the tracking indicated that the item was on its way to the carrier. There was no change on the 8th day, but the order info told me the item would arrive that day! I didn't have a package when I got home from work and I checked the app. The information had not changed. At 8pm, I checked it again. This time, it told me that my package was late, and that if I didn't receive it by Saturday (day 13) that I should contact Amazon support. At that point, I ordered this Dremel 4000 for $75 with Prime Shipping. It arrived 2 1/2 days later (on day 11) and I still haven't received the VMInnovations order. As soon as I receive it, I'm returning it. ABOUT THIS DREMEL - As soon as I got this Prime order in a timely fashion, I opened it, set it up, and used it. It was a little tricky to figure out how to put on the sanding tip that I wanted. I understood how to put the metal tip in the shaft. I've used a drill before - You hold down the button and unscrew the metal piece to open the inside of the tip. Then you put the metal "bit" or whatever inside it, hold down the button and tighten the piece back. The wrench helped. What took me a few minutes was figuring out how to swap the rough grit sanding circle with the medium grit one. Basically, use the handle of the provided wrench as a screwdriver in the end of the sanding tip. There's a little screw there. When you loosen the screw, the sanding hoop piece gets loose. Swap them and tighten it. I then used it for my dogs' nails and was super-duper happy. It worked wonderfully. The nails were done quickly and with no nervous dogs. The Dremel ran smoothly and the air that blew the nail dust seemed better on this one. I also like the separate power/speed controls. It allows me to leave it on the same speed every time. USING THIS FOR DOG NAILS - I use a variable speed setting of 22 and the medium sanding tip. This works for both of my dogs: one with dense nails that grow slowly and the other has softer nalis that grow quickly. I sit on the sofa with my feet on a stool, and lay each dog (Pug) on their back with their head away from me. They've been doing it for years, and are perfectly calm. Plus I always give them a treat afterwards. If you're new to trimming dog nails, make sure you check YouTube or something to learn how to do it. Dremels are great because they don't leave the sharp edges like clippers, and if you do accidentally cut the nails too short, they don't bleed as long.

I bought this as a gift for my sweetheart, 3 Christmases ago. He still uses it somewhat regularly. The only problems he's had have been to do with finding the right bits, and bits wearing out too soon. But the rotary tool itself is AOK.

What a demonic little devil of a machine. It has about 800 billion recorded means of being useful. From modding your computer case, to removing the grout in your bathroom, cutting things like steel bars, youll never find enough reasons to break this guy out. Used properly the dremel 4000 can save you alot of time and effort and come out with a masterfully completed task. Right off, notice I said used properly. If you want to deep dado 800ft of hard wood, go get yourself a router. This things about detail, control, and speed. Just like everyone else, I will tell you to let the tool do all the work, grinding it in with a bucket of elbow grease will just burn this thing out. Think small, think tedious, think time consuming, then think precise. For instance, if youre doing a small dado, try not to do it all at once, make several passes lowering the bit more each time and dont just try to grind it out in one shot. This tool works for you, not the other way around. With the many attachments and accessories, this thing can work out to be your best friend. Amazons price was the lowest I could find, and after doing some math I realized that buying the larger sets with more attachments would only save me $10-$15 overall, and not all of the accessories are ones I want. I went with the cheaper set, and will supplement as I go along depending on my needs. This thing has too many features and bonuses and uses to list, so I will stop trying. If you do alot of work around the house, have particular hobbies, or need a general purpose power tool for light uses, get this. The price here on amazon is very reasonable, you will not be disappointed. Comes in a nice case with 2 useful accessories and a few of the more important attachments. I highly reccomdend this product. Cons: None. Seriously, im not brown-nosing, so far its performed optimally for whatever particular need I had of it.

This set was purchased in favor of the other similar Dremel Rotary Tools and Kits available because it seems to offer so much more bang for the buck.....not only does one receive the electrically operated tool itself but also a largish carbonate cash and a couple dozen 'gadget' tips to boot. How could one go wrong, one wondered? Upon receipt of the kit, I have to admit to feeling a bit of disappointment as I examined all of these accessory tips and thought to myself, 'who is kidding whom? Nobody is going to be able to use the munchkin tips.' I mean, the concept is great, and we grew up hearing about how great Dremel tools are for hobbies and craft projects, but these things are DIMINUTIVE. They look like miniature models or toys such as one might see in a dollhouse. This was bought, really, for one specific purpose which is to drill holes in aluminum, copper and silver, which this does extraordinarily well (in conjunction with the Dremel Workstation which easily converts this into a drill press), if and only if you want to drill nothing larger than a 1/8 hole. Interestingly, this kit comes with a collet that fits a 1/8 drill but I believe many of the tips in this set have a smaller flange which requires one to purchase smaller collets. Thus, as the 1/8" drill supplied did not look up to the task of drilling through solid metal (probably best suited for woods, plastics, leathers and other less hard and dense matter), I headed to HD to obtain a better drill and lo and behold was met with a whole wall display of these munchkin dremel accessory tips which tells me that indeed people do use these little tips for their various projects. I was super surprised, frankly, and I was also able buy a set of smaller collets for the tips which I expect never to use, and an excellent 1/8 inch drill that bore through each of my 3 to 4mm silver discs in seconds flat. I am super impressed by the effectiveness of the drill. I definitely recommend obtaining the work station which, while a little on the lightweight or flimsy side, definitely is a huge help for completing repetitive tasks that require a degree of precision. I can't rate this five stars and hesitate to give it a full four, but there it is.

It is sort of sad that a ham-handed el klutzoid like me likes "to work with his hands," and "do projects," but there you are. Facts are funny things. Although I grew up around my father's myriad tools -- he built houses and worked on boats and planes -- I had never heard of a "rotary tool," until one day when I was surfing Amazon a few months ago. Therefore, this disqualifies me from even knowing what I'm writing about, but I'll put forth my subjective experience, in case it might help one of my fellow customers. In the first picture I saw, I thought the tool was the size of a jackhammer, and had no idea what it was did. Look at the pictures and you will see it is light, fits in your hand, and can be held like a big novelty pencil. I had a hard time finding out "what it could do," and perhaps this is because it does so many things, it is up to the user to find out "what it cannot do." A little hand-held high-torque electric engine with a zillion attachments for all materials is wonderful technological breakthrough. There are others besides Dremel, but I'm quite happy with mine. The power to create and shape things using this tool did not exist during most of my life. I remember the argument for feminism in the 1970s -- to add the "female touch" to all things. The improvement in tools since then could make a feminist out of anyone, and I appreciate the richness of life that it has brought us, except I'm a little concerned about the extra pressure it puts on women, who already had to work hard, around the clock. Any artist, hobbyist or professional builder equipped with a rotary tool can expand her/his horizons for shaping things. The old phrase, "God created man, but Sam Colt made them equal," comes to mind. So too, the rotary tool. People of all ages and genders can make shapes equally. I would think that such a tool in the hands of a klutz would be dangerous, like a Colt 45. (I grew up with two guys who separately shot off one of their legs while playing quick-draw by themselves.) But for some reason, and I do not even want to analyze why, when by accident I clumsily press this tool against my own skin -- so far -- there is no blood nor any kind of wound whatsoever (that rapping sound is my knocking on wood). So how does it cut through steel? If I were a pagan, this tool would be god-like, and I would visit the temple every day. I normally try to show a picture in my Amazon reviews, but my craftsmanship is so atrocious that it would advertise against anyone buying a rotary tool, and my recommendation is the opposite. Sometimes when I am working with my Dremel, it gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, I turn into Walter Mitty and think I'm a great Swiss watchmaker, or Antonio Stradivari honing a fiddle. Sad, but true.

It's a good Dremel for delicate work. I've been using it for over a year and it hasn't been damaged. Good product, I recommend it.

This Dremel is very versatile and has a lot of additional attachments that can be obtained for various types of jobs. The manual that comes with it in the storage case describes the types of jobs it can perform on different types of materials. I was able to find some charts online that had additional information on various attachments. *** When purchasing additional attachments. *** (You well need to pay attention to shaft size if the attachments are a different manufacturer than the Dremel brand.)

For the 4000 4/34 38 piece kit: Performance: 5k-35k RPM is enough for my small projects. The control is pretty solid as well. Versatility: So far, the 4000 seems to be good for sanding, polishing, small cuts in thinner pieces of material (with the bits included for the 38 piece kit). I honestly just needed something easier to work with than a drill of more crafts and repairs. Accessories: My kit came missing the guide but reaching out to Amazon, they helped me to get a replacement. Every piece fit and did not look used. The great thing is that replacement bits are pretty cheap and abundant at the moment. The case that it comes in did have one of the nubs dented but it isn't a deal-breaker for me. It's a sturdy case, though it is made of plastic. Ease of holding: It doesn't feel like you can't control it, even with child-sized hands, however, I cannot weild this one-handed for finer details unless I hold the dremel underhanded. Ease of cutting: As long as you aren't forcing the bit, the dremel is very smooth. Torque: Although there is an accessory for it to work as a drill press (not included), I wouldn't recommend using as a drill press, especially for harder woods. This dremel is good for high speeds but the torque is pretty low. All in all, works great for me. It is my first dremel and I haven't had any large jobs for it yet, so I can only speak for more simple applications.

Je recommande! Seul petit bemol, je n'avais pas vu en fait que ce dremmel avait besoin d'un transfo. Satisfait cependant

LEARNING WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THIS SET UP. WORKS FOR GOOD CUTTING MILD STEEL AND CLEANING UP RUST.

Muy buena calidad, funciona perfectamente y sin problema de empaquetado.

Great Little Tool. I purchased the 4000 6-50. However, when it arrived the accessory parts kit was obviously from another packaged kit, probably the 4000 3/30. I phoned Dremel customer support, talked to someone immediately, and within a week had the right accessory package complete, delivered right from Racine WI. Super fast service without a complaint. Next I was cutting large circles on 3/4" MDF. Broke 2 cutting tools number 561. Phoned Dremel and the rep said I should leave over 1/8 out of the chuck, beyond the flutes. Did so and haven't broken one since. Great support. I was worried about using such a small tool. My router is Porter Cable 690, the table saw carries a 12 inch blade and I've owned 2 Canadian Tire Mastercraft knock-off rotary tools before. I literally threw one across the shop floor. By comparison this little Dremel is fantastic. I bought it to do a one-off project, but have ended up using it for so many other things that I hadn't even considered before. Like putting the finishing touches on my lathe tools (lathe knives). I mostly cut nylon, 6061 T-6 aluminum and a light gauge stainless for my brackets and fittings. We do ultra-light aircraft and I am working on some aerial borne systems. I've even let out holes out of my large shop sanding disks with this thing. It will remove large quantities of material in tight places that would have taken a very long time to do by hand. I ordered the bits for stainless sheet but haven't tried them yet. Now the down side. Accessories like the circle guide are substandard. I had to side cut two 3/16" X 3/4" bolts to jam either side of the circle cutter point to keep it from moving along the track. I built another circle cutter because this one is faulty. I also ordered, and received a StewMac router base as I had read in another review that the Dremel router base was less than good. Also Dremel should have used a better quality electrical cable. This one can kink. I also ordered the right angle drill, for tight places but haven't used it yet. In short I like to consider myself doing professional quality work of a very high standard. I should have bought one of these things a long time ago. You have to learn to let the rpm's do the work and not torque into it. I use 2 together of the junky little thin fibre metal blades so as to save the more costly EZ blades for more import work. This combination can cut 3/16 304 stainless solid round bar where a pipe cutter will not work and material is saved as the kerf taken out is so thin. I have used other grinding stones to lightly debur the inside of aluminum tube prior to riveting. A good list of attachments with cutting profiles and speed ranges and knowledgeable support are not something you get with a poor quality company. Also, if you're doing very critical router work order a foot switch from Busy Bee or somebody. The On/Off trigger switch takes your hand away from supporting the body properly on start-up and the torque can mar the stock. I ordered a lot of additional cuttings tools at the same time as I bought the 4000. Dremel sent me price a price list from Racine and in future I'll order direct. The cutting bits are high quality. Bit changes are fast. Sorry this is so long. I was really impressed. This is not a piece of junk. hoovs
