Dremel calls this "the future of rotary tools." Scoff if you want to, but they're right. This overhaul of the standard rotary tool incorporated changes Dremel users asked for, along with new accessories and a smartly redesigned storage case with mini-cases. We're glad to see Dremel designers separated the power switch from the speed control, something we'd certainly wished for in the past, letting you set the perfect speed for your project and not disturb it at shutoff. Its slick, gently curved new shape-—a far cry from the slightly clunky Dremel you're used to—-just feels good in your hand. Even the case is a new generation, with a molded place for everything (including that hard-to-store flex shaft). The small accessories all fit into mini-cases, which in turn snap into the main case. Bravo! And unlike kit cases in Dremel's past, there's even room for expansion: two bays for more accessory kits. We like the garden tool blade and the circle cutter particularly; you can save a bundle sharpening your own lawnmower blade, and the circle cutter is one of those little gadgets you'll find yourself using again and again. Another plus to this new Dremel is the super-cool attachments available separately, including a 2-1/4-inch wide planer and something Dremel calls the MultiSaw—a combination jig, recip and scroll saw in one. The only downside to this new Dremel is…figuring out what to do with your old one. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

"Burned out first time in use" 2010-03-13
By Someone who knows
Very disappointed. Motor burnt out spectacularly first time out, with a very minimal job cutting fine silver wire with a jewelers saw. Complete waste of money.

"CAN'T HANDLE EVEN A LITTLE WORK" 2010-02-21
By Kerry C. Kronick (Madison, Wi United States)
I've been thru 2 of these in less than 3 months. With little run time and a very moderate work load I blew out 2 of these units, they just can't handle any pressure without overheating. Use it as a light sander or to remove some rust or basic polishing but don't push it or BLAM!Dremel 400-2/51 400 Series XPR Rotary Tool Kit With 51 Accessories

"What a POS" 2010-01-25
By Honest Abe (NC)
If you want to spend your hard earned money on a tool that will overheat and die on simple tasks, this is the tool for you. Unfortunately, mine died after the warranty date since I don't use it that often. I'd say mine had a grand total of 1 hour of time on it and it's now a paperweight.

I notice there is no mention of this model on Dremel's site and for good reason, they know it's a POS and want to sweep it under the rug.

Dremel has become synonymous with rotary tools much like Kleenex has become synonymous with facial tissues. Unfortunately for Dremel, their product line is getting worse. I also have the cordless 10.8V Li model and it too is severely lacking in both strength and longevity.

Time to look for a company that makes rotary tools for the long haul.

Dremel, you had your day and you blew it. You will eventually realize that word of mouth will show your substandard trinkets for what they are and will watch your market share fade into the wind.

I looked at replacing this POS with the 4000 series but realized I'd just be throwing good money after bad to a company that obviously cares more about its revenue stream than the quality of its tools and the satisfaction of its consumers.

I now have to research and find a rotary tool...one that hopefully accepts all of the Dremel attachments...and cut ties with Dremel. Should they eventually start producing/marketing quality tools, I may try them out once again. As of now? No dice. I work too hard for my money to piss it away on garbage that dies when doing simple tasks.

"What a hunk of junk" 2009-10-20
By P. Dworian (Anchorage AK)
Burned up in five minutes of use. Improper usage? I've owned a dremel tool for 15 years and it always worked perfectly. I finally broke the old one and decided to "upgrade" to something better. What a mistake. I managed to cut about 6 inches of flooring before a truly impressive amount of smoke pored out.

I'm in shock. Dremel - what's the deal?

"Dremel 400 burns up on first use" 2009-04-24
By Larry Quilala (FAIRFIELD CA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RTIDWFOTU9L0E This was the first time I had ever used a Dremel. I had just bought it 1 week earlier and decided to go with 400 XPR. What a disappointment, even though it felt kind of cheesy in your hand I still thought it was a quality product (From what I've heard in the past about Dremel) I was so wrong! I had not been using it for more than 10 mins before it overheated and had a meltdown. Just so you know I use METABO and End grinders at work everyday, and I know to let the blade do the cutting and not to force the blade. What a piece of junk! Maybe the 300 series is better, but to late for my business. DO YOU HEAR ME DREMEL!!!
