As good as a Dremel? New DEPSTECH DM-200A Rotary Tool Review & Test

[@faithhopelove6945]

I already have it....Its much much better than my old Dremel !

[@MarkBryanRC]

Ah thanks, that's good to know! I've used this quite a lot and it's still going well. Cheers! :D

[@kimpestridge6668]

I will be showing hubby this video. He loves new tools. Thanks for sharing Mark. Take care 😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Awesome! Thank you, Kim! Don't blame me if he wants to buy one though! 🤣Take care too mate - cheers! 😁👌👍

[@BasBoyRC]

I have always used cheap cutting tools, mine is so old and came out of Woolworths but does vibrate a little now . I have a newer one but the the old one is still going. The worse thing is the on switch as it's a slide as well for speed and it moves on it's own now, might be the time for retirement.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Mal and many thanks for watching. Wow, amazing your Woolworths special still works! But yeah, could get a bit dangerous with the speed setting, safer to use the new one. All the best, mate!

[@RCBirds]

Awesome tool Mark. Looks like someine has understood the customers and putted more cutting discs into the box.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks Dirk, yes I think you are spot-on! Plenty of attachments to get you started! Take care my friend!

[@chrisscott3039]

😎👍I am civil engineering trade finding decent tools can be tricky but not so well known names sometimes are the best love the adjustable arm

[@MarkBryanRC]

Great comment from someone who knows! Yeah it's not just the big brands that are worth looking at and this one does come with some cool features. Cheers, Chris! 😎👍

[@kennethwelty1190]

I had a Dremel did not use it till a few years later it burned up first time I used it . Bought a Harbor Freight and 15 plus years it still works

[@MarkBryanRC]

Wow, Kenneth, that's bad luck! But just shows that just because it's a brand name, it can still be faulty! At least the HF one held up well, good job!

[@ShenRC]

Wow that is nice I love that rotating protector on the end and the extensions sweet too! Nice showcase Mark I may have to get one of these in the future!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks for watching, my friend! Yeah this comes with some really useful bits and pieces 👌. I honestly recommend this one, Steve, it's a quality bit of kit!

[@theoagrc]

Brilliant Mark! There are some brilliant features there which are missing from the one I picked up!! Wish I had known about this brand sooner 😀 Especially think the flexible shaft would be useful with some of the modelling projects

[@MarkBryanRC]

Glad you liked it, thanks a ton, Craig! Yeah this tool is pretty cool, sent for review but I'd honestly buy one after testing it. That little clear guard, the variable chuck and the flexy shaft are my highlights, makes working easier and safer! This will definitely get used on a few RC projects! All the best, matey! 😎👌👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya mate. Well somebody needs to fnarr about your flexible shaft and I think it should be me! I'm sure others have too! Anyway that looks really great mate and it's got loads of useful accessories. I've just got a cheapy eBay one and it does the job. I always forget that I could use it with the cutting discs to cut metal sheet instead of using a hacksaw. Great work on the video and the test. Best wishes for the weekend 😁🍺🍺🍺

[@MarkBryanRC]

Well I gotta say I was banking on you to crack a shaft based joke, and only rcwreck-creation beat you to it!!! 😅 But seriously, mate, yeah these tools do make a lot of RC based jobs a little easier. I didn't like those smaller cutting discs as I had a few shatter. Those discs made of fibreglass were bloody brilliant though, I recommend them highly mate 👍 Many thanks for the great comment my friend, best wishes back at ya! 🤗👊👍

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

G'day Mark! 😁 Great video mate👌. That's a great tool & thanks for showing your test drive of it. I have a dremel & after watching your video I want to check if I can remove the flexible drive on mine. I picked up a cordless Ozito last year and it really nice to use, not as much speed as yours though. Enjoy your new tool Cobber👍🦘🇦🇺

[@MarkBryanRC]

G'day mate! Thanks so much for tuning in! 🙏 Oh yeah these tools are ideal for our little car hobby! That flexy shaft adds a whole new level of control doesn't it? I got a cordless one as well and yeah, sometimes it's good not to have a cable to worry about. Thanks again and all the best, Cobber! 😁 👊👍

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

@@MarkBryanRC Exactly what I found, the big dremel for the tough jobs and the cordless for the body shells etc. Thanks mate👍

[@catcancrunch7260]

Great review, nice handy tool for many applications, thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐈

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thank you very much, Cat! Definitely using this on my RC cars, just perfect for those little jobs! Take care, mate! 😎👌👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

It looks very similar to mine. I’ve broke all my discs . The bits here are much better though . I’m glad you know what they all do because I hadn’t a clue 😂 good review mate

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hiya mate - yeah those thin cutting disks shatter if you get them at the wrong angle to the work, I had to practice how to use 'em! The bigger fibreglass disks are awesome though. I did plenty of research about how to use the tools, glad you found it useful! Cheers my pal! 😎🙏👍

[@simpy112]

Great video. Can u put the cutting discs on the end of the flexible shaft 😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thank you! Yes you can attach the cutting disks to the flexible shaft! Cheers! 😎👍

@@MarkBryanRC good to know 👍👍

[@Fonzierc]

Very cool they're Very good i have one that looks the same but different brand . I also have one that i got from Aldi i think around 10 years ago and still going 😁

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Fonzie, oh yeah these tools are a must for our little hobby! I also have an Aldi cordless one and it's very useful, too! Take care my friend! 😎 👍

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Mark, and a wonderful tool test. You’re becoming a bit of a master craftsman and perhaps give Norm Abram! 😂😂 I think the only phrase to add, would be ‘ be sure to read, understand and follow all the safety rules about the power tool, being able to use the power tool properly, greatly reduces the risk of injury, and remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these, safety glasses 😂😂😂. Awesome review my friend. Best wishes to you all 😊😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hello and thank you John! Yeah I did record a part about safety issues but the video was so long I had to edit it down! You really shouldn't use one of these tools without protection, 40,000 RPM is crazy fast and anything flying off it is gonna do some damage! I need you to write the warnings in my descriptions!!! Many thanks for watching, take care my friend! 😎👌👍

[@HaydadRC]

Great test Mark, it looks like quite a handy unit! I see multiple applications to use this, especially rc related! 👍😊

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks Jeremy, yes this is just the job for the RC hobbyist! Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, brother!👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Good stuff dude!!!! Remember to wear safety glasses while using such a tool, more so with those cut off wheel.. I had a thin cut off wheel break during use and had a piece stick into my cheek.... If that went into an eye OUCH!!! I never got a chance to look for anything cause Jen came home with a Dremel for me last year... I will keep this in mind however... Great video mate and ATB & take care!!!!!!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Bob and thanks as always for being here! Oh yeah, gotta wear goggles and a mask, I also had a couple of those thin cut off wheels shatter and the parts fly off at about 200mph! Sorry to hear you were injured, that's such bad luck! I'm sure the Dremel is great, it's just this one is cheap as chips and still a great tool! ATB to you and the gang! Cheers! 😎👌👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Great review mate! You sold it to me! What a cool little tool for the box, I could think of many uses for that. May have to ask santa for one...... not sure Wether I've been good enough this year though! 🤣 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Cheers James! Oh cool that I sold it ya, I'll be starting that new salesman job soon! 😂 But seriously it really is that good and really handy for our hobby. You'll just have to be extra good! 😇👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@MarkBryanRC Indeed mate..... Especially when things always need 'bodging' and repairing after runs. I would imagine that this would be very handy in making those little custom Alluminium 'upgrades' like you have on your OG monster beetle, and Rob has on many of his cars? Urm..... I find it hard to be good mate, dark side forces are strong in this one!! 🤣 Hope you and Rob will be flying the flag for the UK again in Fils speed challenge this year? I know Craig will be..... and if moo moo will allow us to sacrifice her TT02, we will be to! 🤣 👍 👍 👍 👍

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Same here with the naughtiness, mate! 🤣🤣 But yeah, might have a go at the speed challenge, I'll have a chat with Rob! Cheers!

[@TzufFamilyBand]

Thanks for your review. Do you know if this would be compatible with a stew Mac precision router base that is designed for a dremel? It has a threaded input. So does this tool have same threading around the end of tool like a dremel?

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks! Yes this tool has a thread on the collar to accept other tools but I'm sorry, I do not know if it is the same thread as a genuine Dremel.

[@TzufFamilyBand]

Thanks. It’s a 3/4-12 thread base.

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@TzufFamilyBand Many thanks for the info, it was very kind of you to let us know - appreciated! 😎🙏👍

[@rcwreck-creation]

You know they have medicine now, that helps with the flexible shaft of your tool!? 🤭 School-yard joking aside. That’s a great rotary tool. Very nicely accessorized. I think I have a similar one actually under the name ‘Job mate’? Thanks for sharing Mark! 👍👊😎

[@MarkBryanRC]

Haha! 🤣 I was waiting for one of these tool jokes, and you didn't disappoint! Made me snigger so thanks for that! Yeah, this thing is seriously good for the price, I think we all need something like this in our hobby. Thanks for watching, dude, appreciated here! 🙏😁👍

[@RcNickster709]

Well that is a pretty decent looking rotary tool to me brother. Handy to have around as well brother. Well done

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks Nick! Yep, this is pretty good to be honest, it was sent for review but I'd actually buy one now I've tried it! Take care, brother!

[@RcNickster709]

@@MarkBryanRC I like the few extras like the Wand and the Protection guard. The little drill chuck. Things you don't typically see in these kits. ;)

Hello Mark, DEPSTECH Cordless Rotary compatible with Dremel EZ402 mandrel ?!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi there, yes I'm pretty sure it's compatible with most mandrels, it's a standard size!

[@moosasilwadi7363]

Thank you @@MarkBryanRC

[@MarkBryanRC]

Welcome! 👍👍@@moosasilwadi7363

[@sarahdocherty]

Hello, my mandrel won't stay in. I thought I had followed your video, pressed the red button but the shaft part, with the cutting wheel won't stay in. Could you tell me if I've missed a piece, that keeps it in?

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Sarah, the kit comes with 3 brass chucks - the bits that hold the shafts of the different tools - and there is a smaller one that will fit the cutting disk tool. You need to unscrew the black hex collar from the tip of the rotary tool and swap the chuck. Hope this helps, let me know if you are still having trouble!

[@sarahdocherty]

Thank you Mark, I had went over the video again. I got it in, used it, towards the end I thought it looked wonky as though it moved 😱 I finished using it. Then I couldn't get the mandrel out 🙄 so I watched the video again 👍👍👍 I'm sure my anxiety will subside 😁 after I use it a few times. Your video is so helpful 🙌

[@MarkBryanRC]

@@sarahdocherty You are very welcome, Sarah. Glad you found the video helpful and that you are getting the hang of it now! I'm sure it gets easier with practice. Thanks for getting back to me - cheers! :)

Awesome, thank you, dude! I appreciate you taking the time to comment as this video is a little off-topic for my channel! Couldn't resist doing the subscribe etch on that jar! Cheers mate 👍 👌

[@barbaraguest5993]

Hi will this be suitable for pebble carving?

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Barbara. I'm sure this machine is up to the job but I think you may need some specialist grinding and polishing bits that are specifically for stone. 😎👍

Sure is a great tool and really handy for those RC related jobs! Many thanks for watching, Mattias! 😎👍
