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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So why is this one better than the other Dremel kit options out there? It might not be but I was looking to not spend a fortune while getting what I needed and this delivered! I needed it to be organized and easy to put away into a small closet. The case this comes in is unbelievably organized and I really truly appreciate that. My one complaint about it is that it's so organized up until just a tiny compartment box for most of the accessories. There's a place for all the big accessories within the case, and they're labeled with pictures etched into the plastic. But then you go to get the right cutter head and you have to open up a tiny box full of accessories and no real organization. At this price point I'd expect a little bit better for the storage of pricey parts. But I was happy and surprised with the organization of the case itself. It came with all the accessories I needed and since it came with the keyless chuck I'm able to use some of the smaller drill bits I already owned. But since it's corded and the cord isn't very long I do prefer my cordless screwdriver for hanging pictures and shelves. When you're indoor storage options are limited this really makes a great tool to have since it can do such a wide variety of jobs. I used it to cut nice circular openings into a self made hidden litter box bench for my cats, and to cut an opening into the litter box I made from a plastic bin since no litter boxes would fit as perfectly in that bench. I used it to sand down my doors that weren't closing, to drill holes for putting up my towel bars in the bathroom - all within the first few days of owning it so I know I'll be getting lots and lots of use out of this.

I have had a Dremel 395 Type 5 that I have had for a long time. It's really nice as 1. I am a small person, and it is a small and easy to hold tool and 2. There are a lot of house repair and crafty things you can do with it. I still use my 395 a lot, but I needed a Dremel, and it was simply too expensive to get my original Dremel sent to me. (Long story). Anyway, I got this, and had a few of my bits and accessories mailed to me so that I could work on a project. I feel like my 395 is more stable speed wise when the tool is not under load. Out of the box, the 4000 would pulse somewhat when not under load. Most of that went away after I broke in the brushes (run it for five minutes on maximum speed with no load), but it still does that a little. When under load, however, the 4000 seems to be more stable speed wise. It also seems to have somewhat more torque than the 395 has. That makes it a little easier to control. I really like that the switch and the speed control are separate. I can set the speed and turn it on and off as needed. I also like that the speed control gives an approximate indication of the speed of the tool. All you need to do is multiply the number by 1000 to get the approximate speed. I also like that the switch is right at the head of the tool so that it is easier to turn it on and off. I have mixed feelings about the rubber coating on the body of the tool. The 395 I have does not have that. The rubber coating seems to make the tool easier to grip and dampen some of the vibrations though which is nice. I have mixed feelings about this EZ twist nose cap which has an integrated wrench. I use a keyless chuck on my Dremel, so I can easily change bits. The nose cap cannot loosen or tighten this chuck. You will need the regular wrench for that. The EZ twist nose cap only works with the collet nut. I do like that the new collet nut has four faces to make it easier to use this EZ twist feature, but while I do have a full set of collets, and they can be useful in some circumstances, I don't use them as often because I have the chuck, and when I do use them, I prefer to just use the wrench because I only use collets for more heavy duty work, and I need them to be tighter than the EZ Twist can get them. Also when the EZ Twist is used, it just seems really fiddly. It isn't as positive as the wrench is when it is tightening the collet. It just seems to me to be a kind of gimmicky feature that could be good in an emergency, but kind of clunky in day to day use. The accessory and bits provided are kind of a fascinating selection. You get a random sampler of cut off wheels, a few small sanding discs which, even years ago, didn't really seem too useful. They are tiny, and they don't do a lot. You might be able to get more done hand sanding than using the little discs. The drum sander is useful, not necessarily for sanding, but for shaping and carving wood and some plastics and metal. There is also a small wire brush which can be very useful, two small grinding stones for sharpening, a cutting bit, and a small cutter. It really is a tiny, but random selection. I'm not entirely sure what the bit kit was made for. I also wonder about the choice of the Fiberglas reinforced cutoff wheels. Those are cutoff wheels I use a lot, but I use the EZ Lock version. The kind provided in the bit kit tend to eat up mandrels for lunch. I went through a number of mandrels until the EZ Lock version came out. As for the accessories, they are quite interesting. There is a circle cutter and sanding/grinding guide. I haven't found so much use for them. They seem kind of niche use accessories. In all the time I have owned a Dremel, I have seen these accessories in the store, but they were never on my list of things to get. My 395 came with a flex shaft, and that was one of my most used accessories. I even got a new one when my original one stopped working properly. I really like the manual pack that came with this tool. The regular booklet is a lot like the one that came with my 395. I think a lot of the warnings are exactly the same. The quick start type guide was quite nice and eye catching though. It was also easy to read and understand. The manuals for the accessories (circle cutter and sanding/grinding guide) were included too, and that was helpful. I have mixed feelings about the case. I love how small and compact it is compared to the one that came with my 395. I also love how everything including accessories such as the circle cutter and sanding/grinding guide slots into place and doesn't fall out or move around. There is even a slot for the flex shaft. The case of my 395 has a tray where you can store all your bits. This one doesn't really come with that. This new case can only hold three 1/8 shank bits and one 3/32 shank bit. One thing I like in this new case though is that you can snap in a small case of accessories. They include one of these with it. The small case has partitions, and you can arrange small parts and some bits neatly inside. I would worry about bits hitting each other and getting chipped or dull, but I do like the way the small case holds all the small parts and keeps them organized. The case of my Dremel 395 had a small place on the bit tray where you could put small parts, but if someone bumped into you, the small parts would end up everywhere no matter how neatly you arranged them before closing the case. This small case is so much better for these small parts. I no longer have to worry about random cutoff wheels and sanding bands and disks floating around randomly in my case. I also don't have to find small tins and containers to put them in so that I could put them somewhere so that they wouldn't get lost. One thing I have mixed feeling about the case though is that the case uses living hinges for everything from the two clasps in the front to the hinge on the back. The case for my Dremel 395 has actual hinges made of plastic on the back of the case and clasps that are not hinged, but are springy and don't have to bend like the living hinges do. I wonder if it will last as long as the case for my 395. I don't feel like the living hinges are very confidence inspiring. In all, this tool seems quite nice. While there are some things that give me mixed feelings, overall, it seems quite good.

Dremel has always made a quality tool, with the exception of the "chuck that connects the heads, that is why I am replacing. The other lasted years and the motor still works, however the chuck assembly need to be re-engineered so that a tool is not required to tighten and the bit does not spin in the collet

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.

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

Leider kam das Produkt schon defekt bei mir an. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht, da ich von einer Firma wie dieser so einen Schrott nicht erwartet habe. Völlig unbrauchbar. Schade.
