I've used it to sand my dogs nails down as he doesn't mind it as much as clipping with the nail clippers. I want to buy a chainsaw chain sharpener attachment that Dremel makes but it's not clear whether the screw on attachment will fit this rotary tool. I ground down about 12 nails in that one use and applied quite a bit of pressure down as I was grinding; it handled it well other than the slipping of the chuck. It works well. I've had this for almost 1 and a half years.
I've also used it for small jobs such as cutting plastic using the cutting wheel with no problems.It's not clear to me which Dremel tool accessories will work with this. I bought it here on Amazon. I've also used it to grind down metal nail tips (protruding through wood) and it worked well except the chuck kept on slipping causing the bit to work it's way out. If anyone knows, please comment. I had to stop every minute or so to push the bit into the chuck and retighten.
It comes with a collet system, which is annoying. It does what it says it will. It's a rotary tool. I'm having a great time with it. I bought a keyless chuck to replace it, but I'll have to grind it down to fit the tool). (It does NOT have a 3 jaw chuck, though, like the title says.
Amazon took a couple of minutes to discuss and agreed to refund the money. Maybe I got a bad one. I would like to give this tool 5 stars but I can't. Most of the attachments and tools I did not use. Called GMC and they told me to call Amazon (Unit has a 2 year warranty). I am not a contractor, tool was used about 15 times in 5 months. I was almost done with all my planned projects when it died.
I bought it March 9 at a great price but it has already died. So I would have to give Amazon 5 stars. I bought a drywall bit and used that 99% of the time. No joke, I had one more circle to cut out when it died.
THE ROTARY TOOL ITSELF SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A GOOD PURCHASE, HOWEVER THE ATTACHMENTS ARE QUITE DISAPOINTING.
The included flexible shaft was very useful for carving. This tool did the trick right out of the box, without the need to buy any accessories. It's not very powerful so I wouldn't use it for heavy duty work. This tool does not include an adjustable chuck, so it wouldn't be good for jobs that call for frequent swapping of the bit. I've never owned a dremel-type tool before, but was in the market for an affordable woodcarving tool to use for carving pinewood derby cars and such. The quality of the tool and major accessories seemed as good or better than any power tool I've had for under $50. For shaping pinewood derby cars -- which are about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide -- it worked great. The minor accessories - carving bits and the like - were not high quality, but were useful and met my expectations for the low price point.
