decent

"be careful with the spindle lock, it breaks easy. good for the ametuer hobbyist, but upgrade to a better mastercraft or dremel rotary if you can."

Excellent value!

Date:February 14, 2012

"I purchased this tool because I needed to cut a slot into a hex screw that was in my old bathtub faucet and wasn't moving with an allen key. All I can say is WOW. This little beauty handled the job amazingly well. the variable speed was excellent and the tool performed beyond my expectations for $15. I'm sure that this isn't professional grade and if you're after something to accomplish things on that level, you should likely purchase something designed for that. Buying a $15 rotary tool with the thought of it being top quality...perhaps you should rethink your career choice. But if you need something for around the house for small jobs and the like, you just can't go wrong with this. Very, very impressed!"

Great Product. Best Bang for Buck

Date:November 6, 2011

"I bought this to finish a job I was struggling at with a coping saw and chisel. I must say, for the price I paid, this is the best tool I ever purchased. It is powerful and not too loud. The motor doesn't sound like it is struggling either when pressure is applied. Plus, Jobmate might be a "householdie" brand, but all the Jobmate things I have owned have not been junk to say the least.

And yes, it takes Dremel bits. This is confirmed. I am not sure how quality the other Jobmate bits it came with are (haven't used them) but like I said, it takes Dremel attachments that are 1/8 or 3/16. The bits it came with look and feel exactly like Dremel's.

It also has 6 speeds which is nice. The top speed setting can eat wood (which is good for if you need to take a lot off) and on lower settings does a nice sanding job. It is very solid, feels like the same equipment Dewalt or other top brands use for their power tools (not flimsy "TV remote control" plastic)

Remember to read the instructions (because I didn't) for those who haven't used a rotary tool before. There is a chuck and a tightener. Make sure both are tight, otherwise the bit will be loose. It didn't shoot out or anything, but you will see it sliding around as you use it. Once you tighten it correctly (as per instructions), it stays secure. Also, I really suggest you wear safety goggles (not glasses) with it, since you will be moving it around, and it won't be shooting off dust and filaments in a consistent direction, it is very easy to get stuff in your eyes! Of course, you should wear safety equipment with all tools, but for any hand help grinder, it is extra important."

Adequate for light duty

Date:August 17, 2011

"This was my introduction to rotary tools. It came with a small assortment of shaping, sanding, cutting heads. I used this for several small jobs: sharpening garden hand tools, shaping and sanding small wood ornaments, trimming down some nails, etc. I used it for only very light uses, and it lasted about six months. I paid $10 for it on sale, so I'd say I got my money's worth out of it.

I've since moved on to a Dremel 300. It's ten times the sale price of the JobMate, but it's proven a much more reliable and long-lived tool."

Great deal

Date:July 26, 2011

"I got this one as a backup, is always a good idea to have an extra one just in case your main tool dies while working on something, it happened to me.
This tool is good enough to tackle regular jobs.
Just use it to cut nails/bolts and some cuts on metal sheet, no problems.
For $9.99 when on sale is a great deal."

great little machine

Date:November 2, 2010

"i have both this one and the one with the snake its to bad we cant get the one with the sanke anymore , i got 3 years out of one kit with the snake, the snake died but the rest of it still runs perfect,one of the main uses i have for this is making custom wood grips for crosman 2240s and other guns ,so this thing sees tonsof hard use and stays going and going, a great machine, i had to replace with another brand with the snake but if they supply these again with the snakes then id buy another one in a heart beat"

Great for little jobs

Date:June 26, 2010

"I needed one of these a few years ago for a project I was working on. I originally set out with my mind set on a Dremel. This Jobmate one was on sale and came with 36pc kit. I have used this for everything from cutting locks off of my trailer, grinding, sanding, detail work etc. It has some vibration that you have to get used to, but I would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat. 3 years and still going strong."

Can Dremel parts fit on the jobmate?

Question:

I imagine so but I want to make sure.

Answer:

Yes they will. The Job Mate actually comes with 2 collets to fit the most popular sized bits, and the Dremel ones will fit in it too.

Answer:

Depends on the size of the metal bar piece. The hole can only get as big as up to around.... 3mm give or take. I'm not 100% sure of the actually circumference of the hole but its a close estimate.
