Hardware Dremel 4000-1/45 Review

Is the pricey Dremel 4000 the Rolls Royce of rotary tools?

Phwoar, loving these new tool reviews. Not that I've so much as used one.. but good to know which one I should be using.. dare I get the urge.

 

"This is partly thanks to its superb cooling – despite bristling with ventilation holes, your fingers never cover any of them." - Disagreed big time. I have two of the 4000's and always seem to grab them by the front vent especially when sanding something.

And the Speedclicks are essential, I couldn't be bothered to fiddle with the old style cutting discs anymore.

Either way the 4000 is my favorite of the rotary tools.

 

The hard plastic case I got with my old battery operated dremel is mostly useless. It holds the dremel with accessories and a charger, but not extra batteries and not the flexible shaft, so I have another bag for those. It's also very fiddly to get the charger down in it. Dremels are great but don't ever buy battery operated ones unless you get extra batteries.

 

4000 4/65 less than £90 on Amazon. Out of stock at the moment, but if you order now it goes on back order at the reduced price.

 

Enough with the damn drill reviews, could you maybe try mice, keyboard, monitor reviews instead?

You know.... anything computer related would be good!

 

This is in the modding section, you know?

 

Sorry to sound angry, came across a little wrong.

What I mean is that I've seen several of these drill reviews recently, but the hardware reviews seem to be very rare.

Headsets, sound cards, mobo's, mics anything!

 

I love the rechargable Dremel that I got a few years ago, the case can hold 2 batteries (one on the unit and one seperately).

I bought a 2nd one a few months later as they were on offer in B&Q, so it actually worked out cheaper than buying a spare battery (plus it meant I got a spare body, charger and a load of attachements too).

 

RobJapan, this is something that members of the established community have been asking for a lot, and while the other review areas still need some work; this is a very welcome addition to the site's reviews catalogue for a lot of us.
I, for one, enjoying seeing tool reviews on bit-tech. It's a positive step towards the extra modding content that we've wanted for so long.

 

That's what I got and absolutley adore it.

 

Mine came in hard, plastiic case. Got mine in Menards. So uhm does that means its 95%+

 

"accessories bundle", "slaggering".

 

this is the one I own and I love it

 

Since you are on mood reviewing such tools at the moment, could you try to find some slow ones to review too?
Where the lowest rpm is less than 500rpm, and they don't cost 7-10 times the fast ones.

I need one to carve the wooden case I built for my PC

 

FYI, the 300 is going to be replaced with the Dremel 3000 in 2 months or so, at least in the USA.

Overall, I've found the 4000 to be the best Dremel ever. Yes it is a tad bit large and heavy, but hanging it off a hook and using the flex shaft is an easy fix that has other benefits.

 

mmmmmm rotary
