Best motor tool I ever had

Just got this . Everything I ever wanted in a Motor Tool

High capacity keyed chuck .6 - 6mm . Dremel's 9/32 x 40 TPI threads are not available in keyed chucks nor are .275 x 40 TPI which is a fit mentioned on a Non Dremel web site .

Quiet , less than 1/2 the noise than a Dremel IMO .

Lower speed range than Dremel . Say bye bye to melted plastic and burnt drill bits .

Reversible

Price , Less than 65 bucks , sometimes 20 odd bucks ! I bought high because I am an idiot . :?

I respect and thank Dremel for all they have done , Their weakness IMO is their variable speed controller , and shaft lock . I have had many many types of Dremel's over the years as well as other manufacturers .

The low price and the great review prompted me to go ahead and order two of these rotary tools from Banggood for $21.99 each with free shipping when a 340pcs Rotary Tool Accessory Set was added.

Thanks for sharing the info.

Thanks Richie, your original post did not contain anything searchable, that I could pick up on at least.

Bummer that there is no way to attach the dremel flex shaft to the unit.  I use that all the time and hang the dremel.

I couldn’t find the unit on Amazon or eBay and decided to look at Banggood even though I had no idea of what or where that was.   Got the unit plus a pen size drill for $37 including shipping.  Tooools!!!!

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Have people noted that some of these tools (as the one in that link) are 220V? 
Most of us are in the US and would prefer a 110 volt version.

Several of the listings I noticed spec'ed the power supply as "100V-240V" or something like that. The tool itself seems to be at some lower DC voltage, with the power supply a universal switching type like you get with computers, etc.

That's my take, at least.

More and more things today are designed to take both 110 and 220 in the design . This takes both , works on both , likes either , probably cheaper to manufacture that way than 2 different runs . This has the USA  110 plug so if you want to stick it in a 220 USA outlet you will need a plug adapter , same for across the pond where they use a pin type 220 outlet .

Looking at the size and shape relative to a Dremel, this tool is not for me.  When I use a power tool like that I like for my hand to be closest possible to the bit.  After all, I usually do some precision N scale grinding (not sanding a large gourd). This tool is not only chunky at the holding end, because it uses a standard Jacobs chuck, the bit will be too far from where I'm holding it.

I have modified the speed controller on my Dremel, so I can dial it to a lower speed than the factory settign (but lately I had some problems with that).  However, as I understand there are external speed controller for Dremel type of a power tool which allow slower speeds.
