It's not a bad tool. Haven't got a Dremel to compare it to, but it seems to handle things alright and quite a bit cheaper.

A capacitor did blow up in it though (wouldn't switch on) even though everything else was OK, so overheating could be a problem (as I don't really unplug it or give long breaks after use like it's supposed to). Soldered a new (slightly beefier) one in it and it's been fine since.

Purchased one thanks and recieved a £3 voucher off next purchase

I put all sorts of info on an older Deal post about this (wondering aloud if you can change the carbon brushes on this, like Dremel - Maplin said No but not sure I trust their Q&A responses, they're not always accurate and people chime in with conflicting advice!) - on Post #7 http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/170w-variable-speed-8-000-35-000rpm-rotary-tool-with-lcd-display-219-piece-accessory-2447830

Anyone know if these will work with dremel accessories like the plunge router
