The Black & Decker 3-speed rotary tool is created with a high-torque 2 amp motor so it finishes jobs quickly and efficiently -- without bogging down under the load. Versatile, rugged, and loaded with convenience features, this hardy rotary tool will make short work of all your fine detail jobs, craft projects, workshop and household tasks. The RTX-6 boasts an exclusive Flip-Lock spindle lock system for quick and easy accessory changes, eliminating the need to hold down an awkward button as you try to switch heads. And you'll have a lot of heads to choose from -- because the universal collet system accepts all standard rotary tool accessories. So don't worry about buying special bits, tips, or attachments. This tool accepts any rotary tool add-on you can think of, so the number of potential applications is almost limitless. This outstanding tool offers three speed settings for maximum precision and versatility, no matter the project. With speeds -- 12,000/24,000/30,000 rpm -- you can customize the power to the project at hand; and the separate 3-speed dial means you can set it and forget about it. Also, the rubber overmolded grip keeps your hands comfortable and your accuracy high, because a tool that's easy to hold is easy to maneuver. This kit includes 30 different accessories, two spring clamps, and a box to keep it all together and organized. -- Cherie Priest Applications:
The RTX-6 is ideal for an immense variety of jobs. It cuts, sands, grinds and carves; it cleans, polishes, engraves, sharpens and drills. This rotary tool smoothes and shapes work pieces, removes rust and corrosion from old metal, and even creates drywall cut-outs. Use it around the home, in the workshop, or anywhere else. What's in the box:
Black & Decker rotary tool, 30 accessories, soft-sided carry case with accessory compartment, user guide, and wrench.

Black & Decker RTX-6 November 29, 2008
Kirolov (Philadelphia, PA, USA)
I love this rotary tool. I was looking for a rotary tool that I could use in my electronic projects, I make my own boards and I was having troubles making tiny holes with a regular drill.
The handle (grip) on this tool is very comfortable, you can drive it like a pen.
I found very useful the wood working clamps, the others accessories are just fine.
I bought a little Dremel mandrel in my local hardware store, so I can use a thin bit without broken it.
It is a good rotary tool at a good price.
Great product November 25, 2008

The RTX is a great tool. For those interested the Dremel flex shaft fits the RTX regardless of what Dremel will try and tell you. The soft case is a pain but it is a case as long as the tool performs well I am happy and it does. It has more then three speeds as there are selections in between the three main speeds. Again, great product!
Sweet Dremel Substitute October 6, 2008

This thing is full of power! I got it to use in a dental lab setting and even though I had to buy a smaller collet adapter to fit my dental burs, I love this product. It's a good deal too, coming with clamps and accessories. What I like most is how it doesn't bog down at all no matter how much strain you put on it. The EZ change lever feature thing is really handy too, making it really easy to quickly swap out the bit you are using. Also, it isn't just a 3-speed unit, you can actually rotate the speed knob inbetween the three set speeds to get whatever speed you need. I'd buy again and have recommended it to all my other dental school classmates.
 More Power for Less Green October 5, 2008
Jared C. Dyer (Sarasota, Fl USA)
Pros (vs. the Dremel brand):
-much cheaper (the comparable Dremel model runs about $60 to $90)
-decent carrying case
-doesn't heat up as fast (especially on the middle speed settings)
-the Flip-Lock system is not only safer, but you only need one hand, and you don't end up removing the whole collet housing every time you want to change attachments
-hand grip at the front of the tool allows for greater precision in detailing, etc.
- tough clamps
- nice warranty
Cons
- the accessories are a little cheap (the collet wrench is great though) and the set only comes with the large size collet (but with all the money you save on the unit, you can buy tons of extra stuff. And Dremel parts fit if you get the right collet size)
Very satisfied! I'm glad I didn't buy a dremel! August 19, 2008

After using this product for a couple of projects, I have to say it's just been awesome. Feels very well built, comfortable grip, and the 2 amps gives it alot of cutting power(for small projects). But wear eye protection when using any power tools. I already shattered a cutting disk with this. Make sure to let the tool do the cutting, not the force of your hand. I hope this thing lasts because it's been great so far.
But hey f it breaks I could buy another one and the price of both would still be cheaper than a good dremel!
