This tool is super cool! I needed something cordless (or at least that I could use not tethered to a wall plug), and since I have other Worx tools that use the same battery, this was a no-brainer.The ABS plastic sheet I used to make the panel in my car (shown in the pic) was very easy to make with this tool… quick, precise, accurate, and easy.For really tough cuts, it does “bog down” sometimes, but a simple press of the power button gets it going again straight away.The included bits, etc. were icing on the cake. You can’t go wrong with this purchase. And for the price, get outta here.Worx is on my “always buy” list!

I've always been impressed with Worx products. I have many of their yard tools, and these crafter tools don't disappoint. I've been a crafter for as long as I can remember. You can't beat the quality of these products. The rotary tool is just as good if not better than any other brands you might know. It's the same with the airbrush. I absolutely recommend these products.

Bought this for my wife's jewelry making but so far I've used it for many of my projects. Very convenient to have a portable tool.

Este conjunto de miniherramientas viene con una serie de accesorios muy versátiles. Por ejemplo el cautín para soldar piezas electrónicas también puede ser utilizado para pirograbado pues trae varias puntas de cobre. Así la amoladora y el dispositivo router. Calidad, portabilidad y ergonomía son los sellos de este producto, idóneas para bricolaje y detallar acabados en madera y metal.

The battery included is only 1.5Ah. They should included a battery with more capacity.

I love it. This is a type of tool that I use daily. Kind of tool I have used for over 30 years. As a kid I had a corded Dremel tool, was never happy with it. Then I upgraded to a Foredom flexshaft, a tool used by professionals, mine is over 30 years old and still going strong. I have dental lab grade micromotors, which is essentially what this is, is a micromotor. So I would consider myself fairly critical in judging a tool like this. I have been searching for a cordless model with decent torque and good battery life. Something with replaceable batteries or ability to run while being charged. For me, this tool is about as good as it gets. I bought the 3 piece set of tools and like this tool so much I bought a second, so I could have 2 different bits loaded at the same time. If you are looking for real torque, skip a tool like this and get a real flexshaft. These motors rely on speed. Having said that, this thing has great torque for this type of tool. I have used it to grind out hundreds of rivets, of assorted metals, from old metal boxes with no problems. I have skinny fingers and wear large size gloves and can hold this like a pencil, not completely comfortably, but easily. This tool is also compatible with Dremel type of accessories like the grinding shields. The battery life is more than acceptable. While capable of doing detail work, too big for regular, prolonged detail work.Other comments: They cheapen it a little bit in my opinion, by including only 1 aluminum collet, it should come with at least 3 brass collets. If you are new at getting a tool like this, get a real set of accessories to get the most out of it. If you are just starting out crafting, this would be a good multi-functional rotary tool to get. I have many, various types of rotary tools of all levels of quality, and this is favorite battery model I have tried. My favorites are my Foredom flexshaft for torque at the bench, my pro grade vintage micromotor for detail work/carving and now this that I use for everything else.

I do small Bark Carvings, and this rotary Tool is very easy to handle and there are quite a number of bits for it on Amaxon.

Liked no annoying plugin cord.Lots of power and relatively quiet. Out performed my old dremel which overheated and died.Wood carving bits work awesome and wood burner does its job well.

I grabbed the Makerx rotary tool and soldering iron pack while looking for a replacement rotary tool, and I am writing this about 6 months after my purchase, as I am well aware of how the initial period after a new purchase of a cool tool can induce a short period of fan-boy syndrome, before acknowledging a host of glaringly obvious issues. However, I am glad to say that I am still using the Makerx system daily. So, the best parts.. First is it is incredibly light and thin, which is a bonus compared to some of the other lower-cost rotary tools that are almost unwieldy. The speed is 100% constant as long as you don't overuse the tool and apply too much torque, which is standard with most rotary tools and helps to prevent rapidly broken fingers and wrists, this is a precision tool and not to be used in place of a large craftsmen or Makita Drill or an actual drill press. The biggest thing I love about this is that it is whisper quiet, and I have used it many times at 3:00 AM in my small studio apartment where a normal conversation can keep the neighbors awake. While some other rotary tools do have similar features, such as the WEN cordless rotary tool, which is powered by a 4.2v Lithium Ion Battery, the Makerx is powered by a 20v battery with the same power as any other power-tool interchangeable battery, giving the Makerx Immensely more power, RPM, and battery life.In terms oif the Soldering Iron, this has become my standard daily use soldering iron. I also have 2 TS80 Smart soldering irons and a dedicated soldering station. Prior to this, the $100+ TS80 was my main soldering iron, but the Makerx has since surpassed it. It heats up just as fast, keeps the heat, and cools off very fast, has built in temp display and control on the iron, and it works. I can go through tips fast, but the original tip is still perfect on this Sure, I can't play pacman on it or program a boost temp for when I solder things with higher heat-loss properties, but that's really not needed. I turn it on and solder.. that is it. Both devices give me the performance and power of a standard power tool, but while being very portable.As far as the negatives, and everything has a negative.. I noticed the Rotary tool had a tendency of catching the built in chuck, especially when I pushed it beyond it's torque capability. I don't know if this is a specific issue with my unit, or all of them. However, as a Maker, I prefer doing my own repairs, and the Makerx makes this incredibly easy. They have no screws. You unscrew the top and bottom rings and the rotary tool separates easily into little easily replaceable modules. It is neat just to take a look at it to see the little details that went into the engineering of this. I believe the spring wasn't as strong as it should have been, but I ended up removing the chuck, as it is just as easy to use a any nearby item as the key, and it completely removes the chance of an issue. Other than that, you can't use this without a battery. So, if you only have one battery, when it dies, you aren't using these until it is recharged, which is fairly quick, but having the ability to use wall power is a large annoyance at times. However... I do realize that building the power and battery charger into the power hub would add significant size, mass, and most likely cost. So like all awesome tools, we have to deal with a few annoyances for improvements.As far as the soldering iron goes, I have no negatives to report, other than I wish they included a hot-knife blade, but yes, I did buy one..... and that just demonstrates how useful this is.

For starter, I received this item late, and to add insult to injury, it was broken when I received it.In addition to that, this is a PORTABLE tool, not a cordless rotary tool. You still have a cord going from the tool to it's battery and oh boy that cord is not light weight.In addition to that, keep in mind that if you're buying this tool without having the battery, you need to buy the battery separately and you need to buy the adapter for that battery separately as well.I was lucky to have the battery pack and the adapter as a gift, but it's definitely not worth the hefty price when I looked at how much they cost.
