One thing you missed and many don't think about. The rotary has the threads to attach Dremel tools such as the router and flexible shaft attachments. It's not just about adding the collet adapter in the die grinder. The die grinder doesn't have the additional accessory threads. If that's not a big deal, then the die grinder has more power.

I bought the 1st rotary tool after the 12v dremel failed. Use it a lot and been running it hard for over a year. Wouldn't hesitate buying another when needed. Don't forget your eye protection. ✌️
@ponowai19 ай бұрын
One thing I didn't like about the 1st rotary was the on/off switch being too far back. You get used to it after a while. This new model has the switch where it should be. Looks like I'm getting a new one soon. Thanks for the review.

I used to work as an auto mechanic, and we worked on a lot of old rusty cars at my shop. Small rotary tools are awesome with small wire wheels for quickly cleaning rust off smaller bolt threads and also when you want to clean rust out of the insides of brake caliper sleeves before you lubricate them. I used to use my older craftsman cordless rotary tool for cleaning small parts all the time. I wish I didn’t already own the older brushed m12 rotary so I could justify buying the new brushless version. It seems that the speed control is much better on the brushless. With the old brushed version, i feel like setting it on the lowest setting is very underpowered, but if you increase it just a little bit, the rpms are too high for small detail jobs. The power adjustment on the old one doesn’t feel linear across the range of settings. The new brushless version seems to give you more ability to dial in the rpms to the optimal level for a given workload.

I own both the m12 die grinders its awesome not having to pull out air hose anymore. Ive been thinking of getting one, but now that its brushless its more tempting even thought i do really need it.

I love those die grinders. 2 1/2 years of heavy daily use. I mostly use them with tungsten carbide bur bits, roloc sand/polish pads, and 90° wire brushes. The biggest mistake people make with these is using accessories larger than 2". Accessories larger than 1 1/2" can put too much strain on the motor. If you need a disc bigger than that, break out the m18 variable speed die grinder. Although they're not perfect, their close enough. Not too many companies make a 12v die grinder at that size.

The brushless rotary tool is working good for me. Very versatile, so long as you match the max RPM speed up with whatever attachment you are using.

It's be interesting to see how many of these non fuel brushless tools they release. Before it was only the drills, impact, and circular saw, but now they got this and the high torque impact wrench. I wonder if we'll see more coming out from this line.

I have both die grinders been waiting for the brushless version of this. I'm going to purchase do to the fact it stays running, with the die grinder you gave to keep the paddle down so to get real intricate I think rotary would be easier and I'm an Addict 😂

@steveb6115 ай бұрын
I like the rotary. It seems really thick. Wish it had a variable speed trigger in case of drop so I would probably go more for the straight dry grinder with the different collet. At least the paddle if you let go it turns off

You don't really see it in the video much, but the LED is basically useless, it's a very tight narrow beam, and doesn't actually illuminate what you are cutting/grinding with most attachments, it should be a wider/flood beam. Great tool other than that, though I still prefer the rotary wheel for speed selection than the buttons, it was easier to adjust the speed while using the tool.

Hey man, pls do a comparison vs the dremel 8250/60 brushless tool. I currently own one but it’s my only non-Milwaukee tool I have so if the new Milwaukee brushless rotary tool is as powerful I may get it and sell the dremel. Oh and Milwaukee copied Dremel’s cap/wrench feature lol.
@kbruin79Ай бұрын
Nice comparison. The disk you’re using will alway break if you don’t handle it properly. Even if you use the quality dremel version. You just have to be careful not to bend it otherwise it will always cut nicely.
