One of the better tool reviews I've seen. I really appreciate that you actually showed the tool being used in several different real-world applications, instead of just sitting there talking about it. Thanks!!

Honestly I appreciate how much effort you put into this review. It’s easy to overlook how many different action shots you had packed in there. I’m on the fence about this tool because people are saying they crap out on you after a bit of use..

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. I tried my best to put the tool through its paces so I could properly review it. Mine eventually did crap out on me after about 3 years but Milwaukee replaced it under warranty no questions asked. Warranty is 5 years and if you purchase it on a credit card that offers extended warranties it’ll add +1 additional year of coverage. I think that makes the price very much worth it. Just make sure that you keep your receipt to make the warranty process a bit easier.

Good review mate, you are the first one to mention no option to change spin direction. Seems like a bit oversight from the red team.
The milwaukee rotary tool is best imo. From what I found it has the fastest rpm rating. Also I've never tightened the collar with the wrench or an adjustable wrench. I just tighten it with my hands and found that no bits have never fallen out.

Excellent review - you hit all the points which I experienced as well. One thing I would add, the addition of an LED light would be welcome - I find this is often used in cramped spaces. I still will keep my old Dremel 395 corded, but this is a cool new edition to my arsenal. :)

Agreed on the LED light! A circular ring light with a high CRI would be a welcome upgrade.
One problem with rotary tools no one seems to talk about is how dangerous it is if those tiny discs snap. They are not as large as those that fit in a straight grinder and are less durable. Always always wear eye protection

Well done review. About the material and oil stains. The alternative is something hard that is not comfortable or something non porous or slick, which is a nightmare, especially when greasy or oily. Buy the blue shop towels at walmart and wide our tools down when done. I still have ro wipe off my chrome snap tools after each job or my toolbox would be a grease bucket.

A man who cleans and takes care of his tools! A man of culture, clearly. And you're right about the trade-off for comfort. A lot of the overbuilt tools of the 1980s and earlier had that problem- tough as tanks, but ergonomic nightmares. I'd say it's better to have a comfortable tool that requires a bit of cleaning. What do you think?

So why not the angle or straight grinder instead of this? They also have a speed trigger and can accommodate dremal bits
@JeremyY
6 ай бұрын
This is a good question. I work in manufacturing and have used both the Rotary Tool and an angle grinder. The rotary tool is much better for cutting and grinding in much smaller places. The rotary tool also has rotary tool accessories that can be used for woodwork. An angle grinder is much larger and primarily suited for metal work, especially when it involves larger pieces of metal. I wouldn’t dare to use a rotary tool for cutting or machining larger beams of stainless steel but I also wouldn’t use an angle grinder for cutting seized bolts inside of a cramped small engine appliance like a snowblower or the inside of a car engine bay. So really they are just two different tools for different jobs.
I have the milwaukee die grinders. Both straight and right angles. If I have both of those is there any reason for me to have a rotory tool?
@JeremyY
Жыл бұрын
Die grinders are designed for one job- to grind. And they do that one job really well. Meanwhile a rotary tool has more versatility since it’s variety of bit attachments can be used for all sorts of activities- precision cutting, woodcarving, and even sanding in cramped spaces. You can use the Rotary for LIGHT grinding only. No way that I would ever use the Rotary tool on thick hardened steel.
