Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having other Dremel rotary tools in my small shop which have performed very well for years, I bought this Dremel-branded rotary tool for nails and small, light polishing work. This was disappointing from the get-go. Tool was always noisy, with a metallic rattly sound that sounded like it was grinding itself to death. Two speeds, "slow and slower". Battery was always weak - even after being fully charged it would run the tool for, at most, about 15-20 minutes. Not much torque - would slow down significantly while doing normal doggy-paw nails. Over time, the battery would run the tool for fewer and fewer minutes, until it was under 2 minutes. I looked for replacement batteries, but brand-name batteries were almost as much as a new tool. Since this Dremel 7300 was disappointing from the start, I decided to chuck the whole thing - throw it out. I bought a corded WEN rotary tool as a replacement (WEN 2305 Rotary Tool Kit). I didn't want another under-performing battery-powered tool that locked me into high-priced tool-specific replacement battery. For other users a cord may not be an option; for me, a cord works OK. The WEN does everything this Dremel did, only better. This Dremel left a bad taste - if I didn't have other Dremels (one corded and one battery powered) that have performed well, I wouldn't buy another Dremel. I am putting this model down to an attempt to cash in on a name using a re-branded cheap generic tool.
