It has four speed settings from 8,000 to 25,000 RPM, a soft grip, USB-rechargeable battery, battery indicator light, and tool-free accessory changes.

  • Choose the slim craft tool for etching, engraving, polishing, and sanding close to the project surface.
  • Compare stated speed ranges when selecting a tool for a particular light-duty task.
Accessories and Attachments

Build capability around compatible rotary tools

Accessory kits provide broad assortments for cutting, grinding, sanding, polishing, cleaning, and, in one kit, carving. Their cases use features such as clear lids, bins, lift-out or removable trays, and reusable carrying cases to keep components organized. A right-angle attachment uses a fixed 90-degree head and 12-position adjustment to improve access and working angle in restricted spaces.

  • Use abrasive buffs for light cleaning and sanding, with 180- and 280-grit options.
  • Consider a right-angle attachment when work areas have limited access.
  • Select an organized kit when multiple common accessory types are needed in one place.
Cutting Choices

Match the wheel or blade to the material and cut

EZ Lock metal cutting wheels and the cut-off wheel starter kit support metal cutting with screw-free or quicker-change locking systems. The starter kit has a 1-1/2 in. working diameter, 1/16 in. thickness, and fiberglass reinforcement for cutting, trimming, grooving, and slotting. A diamond-coated wheel is intended for smooth, fine work on hard materials, while the flush-cut blade is designed for close cuts in wood, drywall, plastic, soft metal, and finishing nails.

  • Choose an EZ Lock wheel when using the matching EZ Lock mandrel system.
  • Choose a diamond-coated wheel for hard-material cutting, sawing, carving, sharpening, or filing.
  • Choose the flush-cut blade for close trimming and controlled plunge cuts up to 1-5/8 in. where needed.
