Dremel 4300-5/40 Kit review

Dremel’s most powerful corded rotary tool, running from 5,000 to 35,000 RPM with electronic feedback, a pivot light, 5 attachments and 40 accessories.

Power under load

Electronic feedback holds the speed as the bit meets material, and that gives consistent cuts.

For makers

It handles print cleanup, resin part trimming and metal work.

Value

At about $99 for the full kit, the WEN costs far less but gives up quality and record.
