This outstanding tool offers three speed settings for maximum precision and versatility, no matter the project.

Also, the rubber overmolded grip keeps your hands comfortable and your accuracy high, because a tool that's easy to hold is easy to maneuver. This kit includes 27 accessories, 2 clamps, and a soft bag to keep it all together and organized. -- Cherie Priest

I always figured it was because it had such a small motor, and I was using it too hard. I have used over a dozen rotary tools in my line of work and hobby. Boy have I wasted alot of money on Dremel. Also, If you are considering the Dremel because it has more than 3 speeds, dont.

That is wrong. Also, any rotary manufactured add-ons work with the RTX. Maybe because it has Low, Medium, and High markers on the speed adjust wheel. Quickly, if you were about to purchase a Dremel brand rotary tool, stop. I have killed every one of them with simple use. So eight years of Dremel brand and I finally buy the Black and Decker RTX. It has 18 different speed settings from 'L' to 'H'.

All of the accessories I have collected over the years, work with this tool.If you want a heck of a kit to start with, buy this and the Milescraft flex shaft, and the Milescraft drill press/ workstation for rotary tools.You will be very happy with the solid feel of this tool. I have always felt they were a decent little tool. I CAN NOT repeat CAN NOT kill this. The power of this tool exceeds ANY other manufacturers rotary tool. I don't know why the RTX is advertised as a 3-speed device.

Haven't used it yet but seems OK. The speed change control wheel is a little hard to turn.

Beat the heck out of my Dremel XP series.Much more torque and doesn't choke so easily.I've burned out 2 Dremel's in the past year and was tired of trying to do work while worrying about smoking another one. I love the unit and it does all the Dremel does but without the feeling it's going to burn out.I don't smell burnt wires any time I use it to cut something.I would recommend to a friend. I decided to try this unit out. Great reviews on the item are well founded.

I can't compare to a Dremmel, but for the occasional user I am, this is a perfect choice. My only disappointment was walking into my wholesale club (BJ's) and seeing a Chicago rotary tool with numerous accessories in a nice case for $20. Performed well and is surprisingly handy.

The actual bag is just a bag, the tool doesn't quite fit in it and the accessories just jingle around the bottom.I should have read the blurb closer, it clearly says it's a bag and not a case- too often the pics on Amazon are deceiving. So many little projects can now be accomplished.Just as promised the tool came with two clamps and 27 accessories. This is my first rotary tool and it has been a really great purchase. My only complaint with the order is perhaps my own fault. Don't get me wrong, though- this is a great rotary tool, especially as an entry-level model. The product description promises a soft bag to keep the tool in, but the picture shows a nice soft case to strap the tool and accessories to.
