 Not as pictured October 25, 2009

This is my first rotary tool and it has been a really great purchase. So many little projects can now be accomplished!
Just as promised the tool came with two clamps and 27 accessories. My only complaint with the order is perhaps my own fault. The product description promises a soft bag to keep the tool in, but the picture shows a nice soft case to strap the tool and accessories to. The actual bag is just a bag, the tool doesn't quite fit in it and the accessories just jingle around the bottom.
I should have read the blurb closer, it clearly says it's a bag and not a case- too often the pics on Amazon are deceiving.
Don't get me wrong, though- this is a great rotary tool, especially as an entry-level model.
 Exceptional value for the price September 19, 2009

Bought it a year ago. It works very well. Mainly used that for cutting (brass, steel). Just be sure to wear safety goggles. AND....... I bought a chuck Dremel 4486 for $9. It significantly helps to quickly change bits. To work with that is much easier for me know.

Great tool,
I can't tell you how many times this little guy has gotten me out of a jam. like the three speed feature & extra accessories,
 Caution: 1/8" is smallest shaft August 16, 2009

Not bad for the price, but nothing special either. The smallest bit shaft that this will hold is 1/8" while many Dremel bits have 3/32" shafts. The 3/32" shafts will not work in this rotary tool. Also note that about 26 of the "30 Accessories" are small sanding/grinding disks.
it does work but the description is false June 30, 2009

Pros: This little rotary tool works as it should. Though most of the accessories are useless, using other bits I have been able to finish several projects.
Cons: What you order IS NOT what you get. The product description clearly states that it comes with an accessory case/organizer and that the 2 clamps are IN ADDITION to the 30 accessories. I received a nylon baggie (about the size of the larger Crown Royal bags) and 29 accessories, counting the 2 clamps and the little washer that holds the sanding band in place. After 2 exchanges and still receiving the same blessed item (the first item was also missing the User Guide), I gave up. Further, the description says that the item has a 5-year warranty, but the box says 2-years.
If you don't mind these disappointments, it's a great product.
