What I Liked About The Dremel 4000 Rotary Tool

It's versatility. Having owned a dremel rotary tool before, all of the attachments from my previous model worked with my new dremel 4000 rotary tool. So if you've owned a Dremel in the past, you can use those same bits and rotary tool accessories with this one.

With an easy to use variable speed control you can take the tool from 5000 - 35000 rpm as slowly as you like.

Unlike the bulky case for the Dremel XPR, the Dremel 4000 rotary tool case is a flat, briefcase type with the little toolbox for the dremel accessories stored securely inside.

Some Negatives About The Dremel 4000 Rotary Tool

Although it's advertised as having a slim, ergonomic body, this tool is actually bigger than previous Dremels. The reason for this is that they had to include a cooling system as well as a circuits that control the speed feedback into the handle which made it bigger. However, it's still small enough to hold comfortably. Should you be getting one to allow you to do detailed work, I would suggest also getting the flex shaft attachment, which will allow you to get into the smallest of spaces.
