   We’ve only been using this for a couple weeks, but my technician that is using this thing absolutely loves it. We were using a Black & Decker rotary tool and they would last maybe 6 months. This seems to have a lot more power and won’t be working as hard. Also very pleased with the battery life

   Extremely versatile. I would suggest picking up the Dremel all purpose rotary set at the time of purchase.

   I have about 1.5 years of use with this tool, and quite honestly I am sure I have abused it about as much as possible, and I keep waiting for it to not work one day, and I am still waiting. Most of the abuse is due to using it for tasks its not really made for, as I continue to grow my tool collection, I would always find myself needing to do something for which I didn’t have the best tool for the job, and it has ended up being called upon to cut off, grind, sharpen, engrave, etc far beyond what I am sure it was meant to do. I have used tungsten bits and had them catch, bounce, etc like when enlarging a hole in metal, but the hole isn’t adequately larger than the bit so you end up playing surgeon, and the bit catches and rattles around the hole-tool comes to complete stop-then starts spinning back up! I have done similar stuff with cut-off wheels and grinding stones. Needless to say this has skipped and bounced around many work-pieces and has had the chuck/mandrel hit edges when trying to get into a spot that is too tight. Yet the tool still works! Now I will say it seems the speed switch is less adjustable than it was new, seems I can turn the wheel and rather than get a nice smooth increase in speed, I get stepped increases. Also when turning the speed way down to the minimum, if it torques out, it won’t have the power to get moving again without a small bump of the speed selector. I have also more than a few times accidentally depressed the lock button while in use, which makes for a nasty sound. Anyway, I am pretty impressed that it still functions near perfectly, and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The things that could be improved….somehow,,,, would be that chuck locking button, as it is positioned great for easy use, but has occasionally gotten depressed while running. One thing I would like to see on all the tools, as it really wouldn’t be much more effort to do, is instead of having speed settings numbered 1-x, label them with the actual speed for that range(especially talking about the fuel tools with 4 settings) as that would make pairing the proper speed for an attachment much easier, as right now I honestly just wing it rather than look at the manual to remember. Last but not least, get us a fuel version of this rotary tool, it really wants to be upgraded like all its friends!

   This thing is great. Plenty of power, and no cord getting in the way. And it’s compatible with all of my Dremel accessories, including the flex shaft and circle guide.

    I own several properties and it’s amazing how useful this is. From cutting a stubborn ,rusted on sink bolt to trimming replacement casement window locks to fit. The multi tool and the rotary tool are must haves . Lots of adjustable power for close quarter detail work of fine metal cut/ shape.

    I have to say Milwaukee has stepped it up in the wave of Makita Products. The diversity of tools in the M12 lineup is amazing. This little tool for example blows away any DREMEL I used to have. I’ve been sold on this ultra compact set and many others that Milwaukee offers. This little tool does the job and lasts beyond any DREMEL Battery /Cordless operated Rotary Tool. The only thing I can honestly say is the diameter of the actual body of the Tool is too large but not unmanageable. I am still sold.

    This is a zippy little high speed for the weight, compatible with most Dremel accessories. Comes with some cutoff wheels. Could benefit from a flex shaft attachment.
