As good as Dremel but better value for your money July 8, 2008

Well what a great tool for the price.Easily as good as Dremel in as far as quality but probably better as you get alot more for your money. The torch attachment and flexi are very handy.I have not used the vice.
You get a few tool bits which are useable but not great quality.I recommend buying the 100 piece dremel kit with the Skil rotary tool.The tool itself has variable speeds good for precision jobs.To buy all this kit with the Dremel name would cost over a hundred pounds.
I have had a Dremel but would not buy one again given the choice between Skil and Dremel. I have several Skil tools and have never had a problem with any of them.

Bought this as I wanted to a bit of PC case modding. I was thinking about buying a cheaper one but the promoising review above persuaded me to buy this.
Glad I did, the flexible end was really useful and helped getting into awkwards spots that any rotary tool would have trouble reaching.
There's alsoother intresting bits such as the torch which might come in handy. It also comes with the batteries for it. Another is the vice.
One thing though, if your going to be doing any cutting I recommend buying alot more cutting disks. The dremel only comes with 5 which really isnt enough for much. Go gentle on them as well.
I also uploaded some images to show how good it is.
Equal to or better than Dremel for less. July 6, 2007

I recently purchased this model of Skil's rotary tool and have used it. It includes a small selection of bits, which frankly, are not particularly good quality. But this isn't the primary concern when buying such a tool, as you will always end up buying new bits to fit your projects, and if you use it often, will soon discover the difference between good and poor quality bits. A tool like this is purchased for how well it functions, and this is where I was quite pleased. It runs at about the same speeds as the Dremel, and handling it is much the same. Considering a price not much more than half Dremel's for the same thing and quality that appears to be at least equal, if not better, the Skil rotary tool is an excellent buy.
The small attached lamp that comes with it is a nice addition for shining a little extra spotlight on your work. The included flexible extension comes with a Dremel only if you pay extra or buy a kit that costs far more than twice this one.
It uses exactly the same kinds of bits and they are affixed in the same manner as with the Dremel, but there is one difference: I found it much easier to insert bits into the Skil rotary tool than I ever did with the Dremel, which often required much fiddling and often resulted in even more frustration.
It's wonderful to find some real competition in the rotary tool market, especially when you can get more for a lower price.
