Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker RTX-B 3 Speed RTX Rotary Tool with Storage BagCustomer Review: Just what I needed! Summary: 5 Stars
My Dremel 395 failed after about 10 years and I didn't want a big kit full of accessories since I already had that from the Dremel. The longer you have one of these things around, the more you find yourself reaching for it to do all kinds of things, so I really missed it! Dremel's price for just the tool is high these days (though they're still made in U.S.A) so I looked around and found the Black & Decker one at close to half the price of the Dremel equivalent (the B&D is made in China; wish they were made here, but it must be the reason for the price difference). It's somewhat larger and heavier than the Dremel, but not enough to be cumbersome. I've had no problems using it. It's well thought-out. I like the design of the chuck lock and speed control. It feels solid and well-made. One thing that I was pleased to find is that the ring behind the chuck that you unscrew to put on some attachments is the same thread size as the Dremel, so I can still use my Dremel chain saw sharpening attachment, and it looks like anything else that needs that mounting arrangement should work with this one also; incidentally, so does the flex-drive attachment that came in my Dremel kit. The tool doesn't fit well into the bottom of the drawstring bag that came with it; it's just a bit too long, but it can be gotten in there at an angle if you wish. I don't plan to keep it in there anyway, and the few accessories packaged with it are really elementary, but as I said I was just after the tool itself so that's fine. I would have bought it alone if they offered it that way. All-in-all, I'd recommend this to anyone who needs one.
