DEPSTECH Cordless Rotary Tool Kit, 8V 2.0Ah Rechargeable Battery, 30000RPM 5-Speed Multi Power Carving Tools, 127Pcs Accessories, Shield Attachment, Cutting/Drilling Guide for Handmade/DIY Creations

This cordless rotary tool works very well and lasts quite awhile in between charges. It is not too heavy and very durably made. It is very comfortable for me to hold and use. They included accessories make it a great value. I gave it five stars.

When my beloved Dremel Lite finally gave up the ghost (the spindle became unseated making it impossible to keep it true), I wanted to replace it with something that had a little more power behind it. I had heard very good things about the previous generation of the Depstech 8v and this had some features that I haven't seen any other rotaries. I didn't have the biggest budget, so when there was a temporary price drop I went ahead and ordered this with fingers crossed. This thing is an outstanding rotary tool at any price. The motor is a beast. I work a lot with stock reduction of stainless steel and with my carbide burrs, this thing cuts through 304 like butter while the vibration stays very low! Grinding, cutting and sanding, both wood and steel are a pure delight. The ergonomics are very well thought out. It's a bit longer than most in this power range, and it helps tremendously when doing fine detail work. The light attachment is made without threads and can be turned to cast light where you need it without the body getting in the way. My favorite physical feature, however is the spindle lock button. I accidentally hit these buttons on every rotary tool I use more often than I care to admit. I think, in fact, that it's what did the ol Dremel Lite in, eventually. This is never a problem with this tool, as they have designed it such that the spindle lock cannot be engaged while the power button is slid to the on position. I know that for me, this will definitely increase the lifespan of the tool. I doubt I'm alone in that. The battery life is simply phenomenal. As is the charging time. It actually charges far more quickly than the 4v Dremel Lite. I don't know how they managed this. It could be voodoo for all I care. If you're on the fence and need a quality rotary tool to do hard jobs, this is the one you want!

Not as powerful as I had hoped, but works great. Like how it has USB C charging port

This product is solid. I didn't realize how much I needed a Dremel-style tool until I got one. I bought it initially to help me fix a door catch that wasn't quite catching. The versatility of the tool have me using it in many other scenario including the recent "sharpening" job I did with my lawnmower blade. It is very easy to use and reminds me of the "the name brand" product. It comes with several useful attachments and it has the ability to adjust the speed/torque. It isn't too loud when using it either. I bought it during a small sale but it is a good value (again) when compared to the name brand product you can get from the big box stores. A bonus is the case which helps keep everything neat!

Great rotary tool. Good long battery life as well. Wish I had these much sooner. The chuck did get overtightened and won't release now. So we probably have to buy another one. But other than that, we have seen flawless performance.

mainly use this tool for trimming my dog’s nails and it works really well. The cordless design makes it easy to handle, and the different speed settings help keep the process safe and smooth. It’s powerful enough to grind down thick nails without causing discomfort. The kit comes with plenty of attachments, so it can also be used for small DIY projects, but for me it’s been especially useful as a pet nail grinder.

First off I should say that I tend to be a bit hypercritical with reviews and not that generous with ratings. Arguably I should have given it four stars, but even a number of Dremel name-brand tools would only get four stars from me. This is actually a surprisingly good tool that most people will be happy with as long as they don't need more than "8V" of rotary tool power for whatever they're doing, and if they can avoid breaking the shaft-locking bar which is weaker than it should be. This should be thought of as a heavy "small crafts" tool and NOT a light construction tool. The marketing people are correct that this is much better than the "4V" tools while not being too heavy. First off, the #1 problem I've found with this tool is that the locking bar (the button near the tip) is not as strong as it really needs to be. When you lock the shaft to tighten the collet, you have to be careful not to apply too much torque or you're going to break something. The casing of the tool starts to clamshell open, and this is even more obvious if you tighten it when the plastic accessory collar is removed. I would suspect that people accidentally breaking the tool by using too much force to tighten the collet is probably the main problem their tech support has run into. But other than that, about the only issue is that you can't operate the tool on USB power if you need to. Plugging it in to USB power puts it into charging mode where it won't run. I don't consider this to be a huge problem especially since many devices are like this. but given that the battery is not removable/swappable it would be a nice feature if you could run the tool directly from USB power as long as the power supply is sufficient. With those concerns out of the way, here are some performance tests: Rotary Power Typical wood-carving, sanding, and metal grinding jobs: More than sufficient. You won't have any trouble using small carving/grinding burrs with this. Only some of the ones like the Kutzall Extreme will seem a little underpowered at times. Metal cutting with abrasive discs: Not quite enough power to be that great at it even with small stuff, but it's possible. Works, but takes too long when cutting something like a deck screw. I think some carbide burrs I have will cut a deck screw off with this tool much faster than a cutting disk. Rotary cutting bit: I haven't tried it on drywall yet, but I got some multi-purpose cutting bits for harder materals and cut two 5" wide circles in 3/8" thick particle board with no problem. Maybe a little slower than a more powerful tool, but much better than I expected. Since this works fine drywall ought to be easy. Cutting rebar: This was a silly test I did just to see how badly it would fail. No you're not going to cut rebar with this and a cutting disk, but a badly designed tool could burn itself out trying. The DEPSTECH tool went into overload protection mode and shut off like it should have when overloaded like this. So the overload function works quite well. Battery Life I didn't really try to measure this scientifically, so I'll just report what I was able to do. I cut two 5" wide holes in particle board (which is harder than softwood because it's half plastic) and cut off two hardened steel deck screws. This used up half of the battery. I started carving a wooden toy on half battery and almost finished before the battery ran out, would have finished easily if I had started on full battery. When starting with full battery, I haven't had the battery charge run out before I was finished with whatever i was doing. Charge time: I didn't really measure this, but subjectively I'd say that if the battery is "dead" then it takes about as long to charge to full as an iPad does on the same 40W power supply. I have to say I wasn't expecting much from a USB powered tool, but USB 3.0 power supplies tend to be 40W so it's a more than reasonable charging source. Conclusion Arguably I should have given this 4 stars. I think most people who don't break the tool by tightening the collet too hard, and have reasonable expectations for "8V power", are going to be perfectly happy with it. While the power output is not at the level of the more heavy duty construction-oriented rotary tools, it can be used for a few "construction" type purposes like cutting a small number of smaller holes in particle board or soft wood planks, and should easily handle the same in drywall. While I didn't have any problem with the battery life or charge time, someone who wants to use this all day might run into the battery limitations and the inability to either swap the battery or run off of corded power. Most people who don't need heavy duty amounts of power will be satisified with this tool, and especially the price. The only real design improvements that could be made are beefing up the shaft lock and maybe allowing for it to run from corded power.

I have a Dremel but hated dealing with its cord - and often an extension cord. The first Depstech I ordered was delivered without its cardboard box, tool covered in dust, and missing charging cable and manuals - obviously a return. Not a good start but it worked well so I got another. Build quality is solid and the case is very nice. I liked the 5-speed button control too. I was able to cut through a 5/16" steel bolt in a little over 2 minutes - about the same as my corded Dremel but you can't let it bog down or it will quit, then you have shut it off and restart. My only other quibble is that it did not come with a tool-less chuck but I got a pair for $8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092RY3TMQ Same style as a Dremel - a nice upgrade.
