WEN 23103 1-Amp Variable Speed Rotary Tool with 100+ Accessories, Carrying Case and Flex Shaft

Wow. I got this because my 40-year old Dremel wasn't compatible with the new accessories, like the chain sharpener. I was really surprised at how nice this was. The tool is very nice - great torque, well-balanced, no vibration. The kit of accessories, the case and the flexible shaft were all very welcome bonuses.I was also very pleased to find that the Dremel accessories fit correctly. Well, done, Wen!The one caveat is their technical support. Before I bought this, I asked them if they knew if the Dremel accessories fit. With no response from them, I went ahead and bought both, knowing I could make a return if necessary. It took them 30 days (!) to respond with an answer that was equivalent to, "Duhhh."Other than that, I could not be more pleased. Buy with confidence!

This rotary tool is pretty nice. I've used it a few times now to clean up some of my 3D printed parts and it works well enough (I always print in ABS). It has plenty of power for the stuff I do and being able to adjust the speed is helpful depending on what you're working with. The flex shaft is cool too, makes it easier to get into those tight spots when I need to smooth out some rough edges or something like that.I'm not sure if this thing would hold up for super heavy-duty tasks but for my purposes it's perfect. Plus, the carrying case and all the extra bits are really convenient. It comes with pretty much everything you'd ever need. I mean, who needs a fancy Dremel when you can get something like this that works just as well and doesn't cost nearly as much? Oh, I almost forgot to mention, it came in handy for cleaning up some old tools too - rust is no match for this thing (I also use WD-40 on my tools though, just in case).

Great little tool!Incredible that it comes with a GOOD storage box AND a flexible extension at that price!Incredible value.My only complaint is that the manual is terrible and note very helpful.But fear not, some reviewers have uploaded videos showing how to connect the accessories and use the tool!

Tremenda herramienta, superior a todas las marcas e inclusive a la herramienta de la marca famosa dremel.

This thing gets the job done quickly and easily, and after a recent purchase of the more well-known competitor in the rotary tools market, I MUCH prefer the Wen. Overall product quality and finish is significantly better, the Wen is less noisy, better balanced, and FAR cheaper. It also comes with the flex shaft instead of offering it as an accessory to hit you for another $35. The flex shaft is a little shorter but still offers plenty of flexibility.The one issue with this is that the screw mandrel that is supposed to screw into the buffer pads was not threaded, so it doesn't fit the pads and there's no way to get it into the little hole even using a good bit of force. I'll be emailing customer service and requesting they send a new one, and unless they leave me hanging, by the time this review is posted I'm reasonably sure I'll have one on the way. If customer service doesn't respond, I'll come back and update this review, so if it's not updated at the bottom, you can assume it was an easy fix and was taken care of without much fuss.I love this thing. I use it mostly for cutting and finishing plastics for my hydroponics setups and it does everything I've needed so far. It's well-built, nicely finished with care and quality, very powerful and runs constantly at mid-range speeds 10-15 minutes without heating up.The case is well-designed and fits everything perfectly. The power cord and flex shaft stow neatly and lock into place, as does the tool itself and the small box of accessories.I did purchase the 280-piece accessory bundle, which also comes in a nicely-designed, well-fit organizer case. I recommend it as an additional purchase if you use your rotary tools a lot. Even after adding in the accessory bundle, my total cost is well under 1/3 of what the more known name device cost me, even before accounting for the trouble and expense of having to return the more expensive one before I came across this one. Happy I took a chance, and I'll be looking at Wen for more toys and tools in the future!

For the price, it's a passable dremel (albeit weak and you can stop the motor with your fingers), but what really seals the deal is the customer service, my thing started screaming and they sent me a new one. (After a month long wait time)Overall: Recommended if you aren't gonna use dremels often.
