Pros: This little rotary tool works as it should. Though most of the accessories are useless, using other bits I have been able to finish several projects.Cons: What you order IS NOT what you get. The product description clearly states that it comes with an accessory case/organizer and that the 2 clamps are IN ADDITION to the 30 accessories. I received a nylon baggie (about the size of the larger Crown Royal bags) and 29 accessories, counting the 2 clamps and the little washer that holds the sanding band in place. After 2 exchanges and still receiving the same blessed item (the first item was also missing the User Guide), I gave up. Further, the description says that the item has a 5-year warranty, but the box says 2-years.If you don't mind these disappointments, it's a great product.

did NOT come with a soft sided carry case and since i received my order yesterday the pics of the canvass looking carry case have been removed this description is misleading or a down right lie "soft-sided carry case with accessory compartment, user guide, and wrench"

Bought one as the Dremel was selling for more $$ and I only needed a rotary tool for a very small home project. Having used a dremel brand before, I was cautious about not overheating the unit by having it bog down on tasks. Well that wasn't a problem with the RTX. Didn't realize that it had more motor juice than Dremel until using it. Lots more torque makes it easier to control. Good value.Edit: Recently purchased the little jigsaw attachment sold by Dremel. I was told this unit really taxes the power out of a dremel unit due to its gearing system and application (i.e. dremel never designed for this type of task). Well the unit fit perfectly on the B&D and the power really shines with this attachement -- I can slice through wood like butter without any bogging down of the unit. Incredible.
