Everything that's smaller than usual, like tiny circular saws, tiny polishing compounds, tiny extendy things, tiny Dremel monsters, are always adorable!

Always loved Dremel tools and have a large selection of them from ancient to modern. My oldest must be over 60 years old and has a dark brown Bakelite? housing and it still works fine. You must get a keyless drill chuck and then you can add accessories with any diameter shaft in seconds.

Great vid. I've done exactly like you and bought a cheap one hoping for dremel results. You've talked me into it.

I just got the 8260 cordless. I still use my Dremel 300 which I bought over 20 years ago and it works amazing. I went to replace the brushes and they didn’t really need it. I use them daily. I use a dremel lite several times a day for my work but decided to go cordless and keep the 300 and another foredom for corded work. Point is, they last forever. This 22-23 year old one looks new still.

Hi Mr .King , I am from India & have the DREMEL 4000/65 with a good amount of accessories provided in the box ,I also have invested a small fortune in buying other accessories compatible with it alongwith a DREMEL Workstation , over all the set is fine may be the PROXXON is a better alternative , love and best wishes to you & your family , may God bless you !

I have a 3000 dremil and carve wood and found the fixed speed when carving with the cable atachment" Simple solution get a 2nd hand sewing macine pedal and run the Dremil by foot control. Just remember to set the dremil at its top speed.

You’ve probably discovered by now that you don’t need to use the spanner to tighten the chuck as the EZ nose cap does it for you as it has flats across the hole.

Just ordered myself one of these for around the house bits and bobs and came to KZfaq to find a good quality review, thanks for providing one! Looks like I made a good purchase. I'll definitely be looking at some of the attachments you talked about too. Cracking stuff, cheers.

You know my urge for doing mechanical things is getting bad when I start getting excited by power tools

There are copies of dremel 3000 you can get from 15 to 30 depanding on attachment kit size. While copied machine itself is acctually very good, attachments are rubbish though. So you end up buying dremel bits for it too. But now for dremel 4000-4300, no real cheaper alternative yet.

I have a Dremel 4300 plus a few other toys on order, to manufacture high security internal components for padlocks and door locks. BTW, this will be my third Dremel my last 2, one corded and one cordless that I bought 25 approximately years ago I used and abused them constantly for about 15 years until they disappeared during a house move, they worked like a dream.

I have a lidl 'Parkside' both corded and cordless and are very happy with them. The first cordless lasted me 6 years the newer one is not so good. The corded one has lasted me over 10 years and going strong

I'm happy with my dremel, I bought it second hand for £30. There's oodles of things it does and does them very well!

Like any tool, a Dremel needs to be used and the learner needs to learn how to use it. I bought my first Dremel over 30 years ago and still learning things about it (them). And a saying we have down here (downunder) is “if all else fails, read the bloody instructions”, 😆😆😆. Cheers ol’ bud, enjoy

Very informative; thank you for the help in making my rotary tool decision. Plus, I enjoyed the commentary: "Ooo! I like a bit of cardboard!" 😄 Awesome; made my day. 👍🏻 😄

This tool is very useful for chainsaw piston to remove the carbon built up and also for cutting little screws where its difficult to reach pipes etc

Ive had the 3000 for 10 years or so. It hasnt let me down yet.

The Dremel 3000 kit is great value for money 👍🏼

I spent £50 on a cheapo one from Argos which had more accessories and attachments. It only lasted about 5 projects and it died. The variable speed made up it's own mind what speed it wanted to do.

Ummmmnn just my 3¢......... BUT..... The issue is that most people expect for a cheep or knock off tool to work/last the same as a more expensive name brand one!! So they just end up being disappointed when they don't!!??!! But they never should have had those expectations gping into it..??..

I'm thinking about buying one of those for some time. Probably it can't work as main all purpose router but should do some small parts like pickguards or reshaping cavity I'm glad that you have one of these. Mainly because when you'll learn how to use them you will probably explain it to us 😉 Thank you for the video!

It can also work as a rooter

Do you remember popular mechanics magazine I first saw the tool in it and wanted it years later I saw the first Dremel and I would not swap it, I think since I bought there’s been new models but I’m happy with it ,I use it and use it it won’t die and happy I bought it can’t think how I got with out it.😊

3.2mm is the correct size for no. 8 wood screws, rivets, and for tapping M3.5 holes. Also has many uses in model railways and the like 👍

Legal comprei uma Dremel 3000 também vou ver se é boa ! Thanks

Ever could afford a dremel bit the generic rotory tools work awesome, 😎

In my case, the off brand one is better and stronger than my old Dremel, although I still use and abuse both of them regularly.

Watched this because I have tried to use my Clarke Rotary Tool this evening (first time in years!) & was not impressed by it!

dude we brought the exact tool upgrade path, same brands had my 3000 for 5 years now all i can say is dont buy cheap addons either, the dremel will break em

Yeah i got one of them. Instantly wanted the wee thin cordless one. Used to it now but the wire, ooooh the bloody wire.

I've had two of these (3000- the first one disappeared on a house move- only used it once, so cant comment on it ) The variable speed ceased to work after one 10 minutes, light work session,- polishing. Set at the minimum (10,000 rpm !? ) it gradually sped up on it's own!. Don't know about you but I'm pretty reticent to use a hand held power tool that is clearly mal functioning. I've researched this and it's apparently a very common flaw. So much for the dremmel superiority. They make their money on the accessories that you feel obliged to buy. I could compare this to the same marketing con that apple ( there are many companies using the same con ) at its peak with the iPhone 6 had cashed in on. All in all, I'm disgusted with the dremel hype. Ok for the ' tool snobs ' that will probably never use it

very cool

You are entertaining. Loved the review ;-) saved me some pain and suffering

Awww, so helpful, and cute ti boot.

I bought a cheap one a few years ago and not only was it really poor quality but the sandpaper from the little rotary sander attachment came loose and whipped me in the face.

Are drill bits same as the thing they call router bits? because i'm thinking router bits cut sideways, while drill bits can only cut straight inside and can't be moved, am I right?

Congrats on the new Dremel. Check out the Saburr Tooth burs for it, in my experience, they last longer and more control over them then the carbide bits.

i got a cheap alternative to dremel and im dissapointed with the extension cord and handle..no matter the speed its get so hot, that i cant hold it, so using the extension isnt possible..how is the dremel coping with heat using the extension

Wari good tool have tool hao Maj. Rupert

I had pretty much the same cheapo tool you have and made some half decent stuff with it. It was a chore though. Mine was cordless so constantly ran out of juice and had to be charged for an age between uses - it wouldn't work with the charger plugged in for some reason - so that limited it very much. I bought a Dremel for the same reasons as yourself, I wanted something I could rely on. I mostly use the flex hose to make it easier to hold in the hand, you do need to keep the main body close though for changing speeds - I probably would prefer speed control on the flex handle so the main body could be kept out of the way, but maybe the 5000 will have that feature??? You find new jobs for it to do every day and I'm constantly looking at cutting bit kits to see if they have something I don't. I hear great things about the Proxxon version, not sure if they're available in the UK though.

VonHaus mite be an equally as good brand.

Just got a 4300, didn’t turn on out the box. Disappointed.

Yeesss lets go for the dentist extension 😄

Has anyone noticed that the speed/power switch is slightly erratic at lower speeds (between 2 & 4)? Mine occasionally won't even start spinning. I have to go back to "power off" and again to 2. Also, once the selector is at 2, the speed seems to change on its own over time. Not by a lot, nevertheless, it's inconsistent, and it keeps increasing on its own. It's my second Dremel. I sent the first one back for exactly that reason. Is that anyone else's experience? Thanks

The cheap rotary tools work just fine any rotary tools attachments are compatible with any other just like anything else you by name brand are you buy generic

Compare this or 4000 model with Tacklife rotary tool kit, which retails around £40 brand new. It's only available on Amazon and ebay.

Thank you for a great video on the dremel, I got one for my Christmas last year and I’ve just realised I have the dentist attachment!! So much for me looking or reading the manual 😂😂

Once u learn to use its very usefool tool on wood working mechanics etc thats the name multitool

my dremel 3000 didnt last cant undo the chuck the button broke inside hardly used it

Cool video 😁👍

Make your own jewelly rouge. Buy iron 2 ovide and cerium polishing powders melt some crayons or candles and bosh some of the powder in and mix in and let set. Bingo. Can even make the 2 oxide of iron yourself.

That sad little thing with the DC adapter is not an actual "cheap alternative". The real cheap alternatives have the exact same power and controls as the Dremel and likewise run on AC. About 30 USD for a similar kit (extension, 50 accessories) in India.

is possible to drill a small hole in a wall with a dremel 3000?

I've seen so many people saying about how bad the longevity of the tools are and that they just cut out on people and the like? Do you still have this one and have you found any issues?

good luck with the dremel 3000 mate, mine died after 3 months. wont be buying one again

But where is the comparison to the cheap one? We never even saw it.

I'm a Yorkshire lad too, but this is nothing more than a cheesy attempt to get an affiliated link to get a couple of quid out of you. But, I don't blame him. We all have to earn a living

I use to buy the cheap ones until Walmart had a price glitch. Then I ended up with a Dremel 3000 for $19 with 2 year protection and a Dremel 100 for $11. Now I can give away my knock-off peasant Dremel. My 3000 came without the case, much smaller box lol.

*You should have compared it to a Guild instead, probably wouldn't have been any difference whatsoever and you won't be tricked into buying a whole other tool kit to use the Rotary tool.*

I've been researching the 3000 and have read in 2 places now that if you power it down, it won't turn back on for an hour. It seems in this video that you've been turning it on and off successfully. Have you had any issues with it powering back up at all? Maybe after extended periods of use? Asking because this would be a big problem for the way I work.

🤘🏻😎

not a fair comparison tbh, much better and similar sized cheap dremel alternatives available

So you really dont compare two comparable products but compare a mouse to an elephant and even dont compare them otherwise then saying the mouse is small and bad. Way to go 👍🏻

You ALWAYS end up paying more for the cheap tools when you have to replace them over and over again. Spend the money upfront for the quality tool. Save money in the end

You have compared apples to oranges. Your tool selection is incorrect. The low cost low power tool you have selected is for light jobs. It is not a clone of the Dremel you have shown. You should have compared a Dremel clone that is at par with the original Dremel. This video is a kind of promotional video for Dremel. I do agree that original is always better. But many a times copies are not that bad either. The low cost copies are similar in power, accessories and come with a flex shaft just like Dremel at a fraction of cost. They are comparable in look as well as size with Dremel. Please watch other reviews of low cost rotary tool (Dremel clone) reviews on KZfaq. You might consider making this video again. However, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Well this dude doesn't know if he's trying to entertain kids at a birthday party, or compare tools for adults that actually use them.

*They're all the same shit just with different label's, them days of distinguishable high quality products are over. Don't be fooled, the dodgy English in the user manuals are a dead giveaway, prob comes from the same factory too, look for it, they're all made In China!.*

not a fair comparisson

comparing an ac power vs dc power tool...yah...thumbs down

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzfaq.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

How is this a verse’s video when you only show one item 🤦‍♀️

Dremel 3000 is a bag of poop and I wouldn't buy another. Any tool that suddenly stops working with only a few hours of usage isn't worth owning.

You must have been to Boyes as thats the same cheapo dremel wannabee l got £15, wasnt actually bad for the jobs l wanted it for, but l have just ordered a Depstech cordless meant to be a pretty good piece of kit
