The Dremel rotary tool idea was great to begin with, but now, they've revved up the basic rotary tool and added some exclusive attachments that make the XPR series one of the coolest tools we get to try. This one's got all the bells and whistles of previous models and tackles the same tasks: you can carve, grind, polish, trim, sand, cut a wide range of material, shape, sharpen, clean, remove grout, smooth, drill, rout, sculpt, engrave, strip finishes. Similarly, it has Dremel's huge array of accessory possibilities and the variable speed (from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm), but it has almost twice the amperage of its predecessors for plenty of power. In addition, the speed selector switch is separate from the power switch, allowing you to leave the tool at a certain speed setting for next time. Its design is a bit of departure, and that's a matter of user preference, but after some getting-used to, we like it. The primary reason you'd step up to this model from another rotary, though, is the plethora of great attachments made only for the XPR that emulate shop full of tools. Hands down, our favorite is the MultiSaw. Just attach it and your rotary tool becomes a mini reciprocating saw, making straight and curved cuts in a variety of materials. Using standard jigsaw blades, you can cut soft and hard wood, ply, metal, PVC, plastic and more. Next, there's the planer head that turns your Dremel into a portable planer. It's designed for two types of planing - straight and at 45 degrees, with a width capacity of 2-1/8 inches, perfect for a warped or sticking door. Though we didn't try any shaping or carving with it, we think it would do a great job of it, too. There's also a flex light exclusive to this series that dovetails easily into a groove on the rear of the tool. It's powered by lithium ion batteries (included) and does a fantastic job illuminating detailed work pieces. As with all the other Dremel rotaries, you can attach the flex shaft for super-fine detail work as well as reaching into places practically no tool has gone before. The circle cutter's easy to use, too, and works like a charm, giving you perfect circular cutouts every time. And everything has its place in the well-designed storage case, making the whole shebang perfectly portable. If you're a rotary tool fan, you'll love the XPR. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 Dremel 400-6/90 Variable Speed XPR Rotary Tool Kit With 90 Accessories December 12, 2008

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my Son. It came super quick and it looks like a great product. I'm sure he will love it.
Extremely Useful December 6, 2008
This is a great little tool for all the hundreds of things that need to be done around the house. Before we purchased this one we read some of the reviews that complained this was not a heavy duty professional model. And I'm sure they are right - if we cut molding all day long week after week we would probably need a more specific tool. But this has worked well for all sorts of household projects. The only oddity is that the larger chuck (for drilling) was not included. But that can be purchased at Home Depot for eight dollars.

Dremel 400-6/90 Variable Speed XPR Rotary Tool Kit With 90 Accessories
Excellent small tool with many uses, depending upon accessories. Great for model builders, jewelry makers and many other small products including engraving on glass and woodcarving. Amazon was best option for this purchase.
Very Fine & Versatile Tool October 28, 2008
I use this tool primarily in my gun smith hobby, meaning metal finishing and wood work. The Dremel 400 series XPR rotary tool has some nice advantages over my older rotary tools. Its ergonomics are better and it has noticeably more power. If you've checked the prices of the attachments you can see why buying a comprehensive kit like the 400-6/90 makes sense. As usual, you have to remember that these tools are delicate and designed for delicate work. Used within it's design limits, you will find this tool to be very capable and will far outlast most of its competitors.
Great tool October 19, 2008
Great tool. Though I actually bought the discontinued 3/70 accessory pack they are almost identical. You could even get a smaller kit and just buy exactly what you need instead. Comes with about every tool tip I could want, except for engraving tips, which would have been nice just to experiment with. It is noisy on high speed, which is used most often, so I will be getting some ear plugs soon for my big job.
I've used it to grind another metal tool (wire stripper) so that it would grip more tightly - this worked great! Though you could do almost the same things with a good file set this is much more fun, and quicker.
It is recommended let it run on high for 10 minutes before first use to "lengthen the life" of the internal components, so maybe that is what some other negative reviewers did wrong.
