The right tool for condo livingStrengths: Galore of tools in one easy to organize box, can use non-dremel attachements. Weakness: Have to take it easy to not overwork the tool. This set is ideal for folks living in a condo and would like to save on contractors. This tool gives you the ability not only to do hobby stuff, but everyday projects that come up unexpectedly. Half the time we get someone to do work for us, not cause of lack of knowledge, but because we have to buy tools too. With the Dremel you get all the tools you need and for little cash (say 10 bucks) get any additional attachments. I feel the tool is sturdy enough to handle any job except the saw, which at time I had to pause cause I felt it was jamming. Spend at least 2 hours with the manuals BEFORE messing with it. It will help you not to be overwhelmed and pick the right tool if you look at all the booklets. The attachments are clearly labeled. The color coding system does work. I also love the fact that I an use non-dremel attachments (bits, saw blades etc) so you can use stuff you already have. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

A very complete kitStrengths: Versatility and convenience. Weakness: Limited to hobby or light-duty jobs. The Dremel 400 XPR 6/90 kit is remarkably full of features. This kit includes a lot of bells and whistles for the price (about $130) and additional add-ons are trivially easy to find. 85% of readers found this review helpful.

Ultimate Dremel KitStrengths: Well Designed, Complete Kit for all your needs. Weakness: Flashlight runs on battery. I was under the impression it would connect to the dremel and run off the power from the dremel itself Besides the flashlight this is an amazing Dremel Kit. I'm currently rewiring my house so this comes in handy when cutting holes in sheet rock. 50% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Great Tool, Hope It Lasts !Strengths: Awesome amount of uses and variety of attachments available. Weakness: Even with the "90" attachments, many commonly needed parts (ie: extra size collets) are not included, and need to be purchased separately. Carrying case is SO crammed tight, it's not practical. I would recommend this product highly for hobbyists and many basic home repairs. I would NOT recommend this product for more heavy construction work, such as cutting holes in dry wall,( as they claim is possible), unless you're up for replacing the motor - I could tell after first use in this regard, (even with following all the warnings about not forcing the cut, to let the blade work by itself), the motor would not take the strain for very long. Otherwise, it's a really versatile and valuable addition to my tool inventory. 50% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Dremel 400 Tool - Great Value!Strengths: Tool is light weight, very portable, powerful for size easy to use and control. Weakness: Many of the accessories not practical and will not be used. Should include additional collets, cutting accessories and drill bits. Including a chuck would also be good. Tool and accessories are a great value. Should have option to include plunge router attachment. Accessories should be packaged separately in plastic cases by use in addition to the color code. My son is an architect major and this tool kit has saved him many hours in completing a number of his project assignments. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Excellent Dremel KitStrengths: Does all your cutting and shaping jobs very well. Great value for the price. Weakness: Can bog down if apply too much force. More for the hobby person than heavy duty work. An excellent starter for your hobby or for light work around the home or business. Definitely recommend Dremel a proven brand name. Only time will tell as too how long it will perform but right out of the box it is outstanding!! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Too much is never enoughStrengths: 6 attachments with so many accessories Weakness: Needs more attachments in the kit, like the 568 Grout Removal and 670 mini saw. This kit does not get 5 stars. However, I would give 6 stars to the rotary tool. It's a great tool and absolutely necessary if you like to use elbow grease :) Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

dremel 400 6/90 "MONSTER"
Strengths: It does everything well
Weakness: It can bog down if to much force is applied
This is my 2nd Dremel, the first one last 20 years, then finally it burned out the sspeeed control witch. This 400 XPR is the "mac". I had to drill some holes out on a sheet of Stainless, no problem. HAd to cut off 4 stainless bolts to make shorter, no problem. This dremel hums along, like it's saying, "What else you got?"
I love the tool, there are more fittings than I need, and the price is "Right."
