Great product

I really wasn't expecting to go to buy this but I'm so glad I did. It's really a good product. It's helps me with a couple of my projects. Great product

Useless

I've used my old 110 outlet rotary tool for decades and love it, aside from the cord. Finally decided to add this to my collection so I didn't have to run expo l extension cords anymore and wow am sorely disappointed.

Zero Torque - Suprisingly Weak

I love all of my Craftsman V20 tools - and I have almost everything they make. I'm also not one to leave reviews, but I feel compelled to make anyone interested in this rotary tool aware of how bad it really is. This rotary tool struggles to cut, engrave, or sand the most simplistic of parts. I'm used to the torque of my Dremel and this unit falls far short. It will literally stop rotating when you apply the slightest pressure - and to make a bad situation worse, when it does stop rotating, you have to press the power button again to cycle it back on - which is aggravating when you are holding your work with one hand and this rotary tool in the other....

Plastic gears

Went through two in one day. I was cutting a chop stick to see how it worked. The gears burned up within two sticks. Just buy a Dremel and save yourself multiple trips.

Shuts off

Same problem shuts off after few seconds doesn’t matter what I’m doing. I returned the first one and second one is doing the same. Definitely a problem.

Good tool. Nice to have the large battery capacity

At first I was concerned because it would shut off frequently when a little pressure was applied to the disc. Problem however was just the battery that was low. My battery was showing two bars but putting a charged battery in the unit immediately made it run much faster without shutting off.

not good for moderate to heavy applications

have used it a couple of times, seems very under powered , shuts of repeatedly when under a minimal load/torque , perhaps useful for certain very light, and delicate projects , some reviews have mentioned that the tool works better with extended use , to break it in , but I am skeptical of that statement , I think the tool should be redesigned to accept more load/torque

Poor performance

Just like everyone else here, big fan of the V20 tools, but this rotary tool is a serious pain. 10 seconds and it shuts off, making it basically useless unless you'd like to extend your project time 10x. Extremely disappointed.

Turns off with little pressure

I bought this to add to my many V20 tools from Craftsman. I had a dremel that was dying on me so I purchased this. Well it's so disappointing. With the lightest pressure on the tool, it turns off. I've tried to use it many times and it seems to only work the best at full speed with very little pressure. It takes so long to cut through anything that it's practally useless.

rotary tool

has no power at all shuts off in seconds and gets hot will be returning it immediately.
