Dremel Rotary Tool 300 Series + 25 acces
The Dremel 300 is the first power tool in my toolbox in nearly 40 years of model making. Having used it twice I wonder how I ever done without it. It will not be used very often but when needed it excels.
I would recommend buying the optional multi-chuck (as I have) as this saves the need to change the collet for different sized accessories.
My only small gripe is that with the multi-chuck fitted the tool is slightly too long to fit in its storage case.
Highly recommended.

Anyone reading the other review might get the impression that the Dremel 300 is supplied with a chuck and not collets. This is not the case. I can only assume having just bought one that the chuck has to be purchased separately.

I recently purchased the Dremel 300 + 25 Accessories kit to replace my ageing Dremel Multi 770 cordless drill, which was now lacking in power and stamina, and did not have the threadded interface required to accept accessories such as the #670 Mini-Saw attachment.
Dremel really do think of everything, and supply an amazing array of accessories and fittings to go with their drills. I purchased their Mini-Saw attachment primarily to solve a DIY problem involving cutting an acrylic bath panel, and have found this accessory to work very well. My only niggle with it, is the strange handling position you need to adopt (if you're right-handed!), pulling the saw towards you, rather than the more traditional pushing action. But this is a minor problem, and the saw performs well, giving a very clean cut in most woods and plastics.
But back to the 300-series-an excellent tool, supported by a huge array of accessories. I'm also glad to see they've now introduced a conventional chuck (#4486), which is easier than having to choose between 4 different sized collets. The 300 comes in a convienient plastic storage box, with allocated spaces for the most popular accessories, and a cubby-hole with a hinged lid for any other bits and pieces-although this could have been larger to accommodate some of the bulkier attachments such as the saw!
Dremel tools are excellent for those smaller jobs where a full-sized power tool would be just too big and clumsy, and while they may not be as powerful as their larger cousins, they more than make up for this with their high operating speed. I also like the no-nonsense numbering system for their accessories-you see the bit you need in the catalogue or online, note down the number, and go out and buy it-simple as that!
