Customer Review
Very similar to Proxxon Professional model
I personally own Proxxon 38481 IB/E Professional Rotary Tool. [That model is slightly more expensive--a bit more professional-looking--and it comes with collets instead of a keyless chuck.]This model, the one I am reviewing, Proxxon 38472 FBS 115/E Precision Rotary Tool, was bought as a gift; however, I couldn't help but take it out and compare it to the Proxxon model that I already own. The two models use the identical motor with the identical analog variable control wheel and so performance is nearly identical. As far as I can tell, the only difference is aesthetics. That, and chucks get worn out over time, increasing play; also, collets are easier to change attachments if they're all the same size... Then again, you can get a new keyless chuck for $10, or you could buy MICROMOT collets for this model for $20.In short, the hobbyist or tinkerer will notice little difference between this "precision" model and Proxxon's "professional" one...

A Higher Quality Tool!!
I originally bought a Dremel at my local big box store. I opened it and noticed how the plastic and rubber grips were sloppily molded with surfaces that were not smooth where they should have been. I turned it on and found that it would not even begin to spin until I turned the speed control up to about halfway. When it did start spinning, it was not a smooth rotation until I turned it up even more. So I was disappointed with my purchase and decided to look around for alternative brands.I am very impressed with this Proxxon tool. For only a few dollars more than the Dremel, this tool looks and feels like the parts were produced on a quality mold. Everything has a nice fit and finish. The drive spins smoothly throughout the entire speed range just as I would expect. I am very happy I decided to upgrade to this brand.

After reading the reviews I decided to buy a Proxxon instead of a Dremel,and could not be happier.The price difference is minimal and you can use all of the same attachments.It runs very smooth,the difference was quite noticeable.
