Dremel 395 MultiPro 1.15 Amp 5,000 to 35,000 RPM Variable-Speed Rotary Tool with 10 Accessories

The secret ingredient is the speed. With a bit moving at 35,000 rpm, you don't need to lean into the job at all; on the contrary, we found a light touch to be the most effective, and the tool does the work for you. Control is superb, thanks to a comfortable housing and excellent balance whether you're doing detail work with a pencil-like grip or grasping the tool like a tennis racquet. It's light as a feather at just about a pound, so even working at shoulder height or above is no chore. Bit change is fast and easy; the collet locks with a button and the wrench stores on board. This set comes with 10 bits to get you started, but have a look at other accessory sets too, because once you get this Dremel in hand, it's addictive. You'll want to pick up the flex shaft and right-angle attachments for cramped quarters, add on a router-type base, and maybe even get the stand that turns the tool into a mini drill press. If you've never had a rotary tool, you absolutely can't go wrong with this one, and if you're upgrading from a single- or dual-speed model, you'll love it. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
