The Black & Decker 3-speed rotary tool is created with a high-torque 2 amp motor so it finishes jobs quickly and efficiently — without bogging down under the load. Versatile, rugged, and loaded with convenience features, this hardy rotary tool will make short work of all your fine detail jobs, craft projects, workshop and household tasks.
The RTX-6 boasts an exclusive Flip-Lock spindle lock system for quick and easy accessory changes, eliminating the need to hold down an awkward button as you try to switch heads. And you’ll have a lot of heads to choose from — because the universal collet system accepts all standard rotary tool accessories. So don’t worry about buying special bits, tips, or attachments. This tool accepts any rotary tool add-on you can think of, so the number of potential applications is almost limitless.
This outstanding tool offers three speed settings for maximum precision and versatility, no matter the project. With speeds — 12,000/24,000/30,000 rpm — you can customize the power to the project at hand; and the separate 3-speed dial means you can set it and forget about it. Also, the rubber overmolded grip keeps your hands comfortable and your accuracy high, because a tool that’s easy to hold is easy to maneuver. This kit includes 30 different accessories, two spring clamps, and a box to keep it all together and organized. — Cherie Priest

After using this product for a couple of projects, I have to say it’s just been awesome. Feels very well built, comfortable grip, and the 2 amps gives it alot of cutting power(for small projects). But wear eye protection when using any power tools. I already shattered a cutting disk with this. Make sure to let the tool do the cutting, not the force of your hand. I hope this thing lasts because it’s been great so far.
But hey f it breaks I could buy another one and the price of both would still be cheaper than a good dremel!

I haven’t used this on any projects yet, but it does seem promising. It has a rigid feel to it and the price is ideal. I haven’t used a Dremel brand rotary tool so I can’t really compare.
The only negative thing I have to say about this is that the collet nut is pretty hard to loosen once it’s tightened. However, I found that putting the wrench against one of the fan blades made it easier to loosen. Probably not a good thing to do, but it does work.
Amazon doesn’t include a list of the accessories, but it’s not their fault. It doesn’t even say on the box itself. For those wondering what this comes with:

I am in the process of changing grout colors in my bathroom which involves removing all of the old grout first. I’ve burned through 4 dremels so far, they just can’t take the workout. I ordered this in the hopes that the 2 amp motor would have more power and be able to handle the job. So far, I’m extremely impressed. It powers through the grout like it was butter, and shows no signs of slowing down. Far better than the dremel. If you have a heavy-duty task to complete, this is definitely the machine for it. It doesn’t come with a lot of accessories, but after throwing away 2 dremels (I was able to return the others) I have plenty of them.

This is one of those fantastic tools that you never knew you needed. A knock-off of the more expensive dremel motor tool with little to be found wanting.
What’s hot -
Precision sanding, grinding and cutting.
For the carpenter:
- a great way to make adjustments to mortices, thresholds and other precision details
For the plumber:
- De-burring copper tubing, removing jammed ferrules, reworking tiles or cultured marble to allow access to shower valves, trimming escutcheons etc.
For the contractor:
- A nice way to mark your tools such that their provenance may be proven.
For the hobbyist:
- The perfect power tool for most detail work. (plastic, wood, and brass)
What’s not -
Comes in a somewhat flimsy kit. A proper, carrying case to hold add-ons would be ideal.
The cutting wheels are very delicate and have a tendency to shatter.

I got this as a birthday gift this year, and I absolutely love it! It’s got plenty of power, and since it can use all the Dremel accessories, it’s got nearly infinite usage possibilities.
I thought I might use it on occasion for a task here and there, but I’ve wound up using it far more. Now I’ve got sharp tools, sharp mower blades, corrosion free battery terminals on my mower and lots more.
It’s every bit the tool that a Dremel is at a fraction of the price. The case is a little flimsy, but that’s hardly a reason to pass on this great tool.
