WEN Rotary Tool with Flex Shaft Review

If you enjoy such lutherie videos, please SUBSCRIBE.
Since filming this video, I have used the WEN a lot more and it's a very good rotary tool. I've not noticed any difference in quality or performance over Dremels at 2/3/4 times the price.
This is the set I got- amazing value for under $20!- amzn.to/2Kp9xlq

I never heard this company before and thinking it is Chinese company since the name WEN. But, I googled it out. It is American company in Illinois.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Oh really! I just assumed it was a Chinese company

[@walterrider9600]

thank you Beau

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

My pleasure :)

[@alandust2188]

Great info thanks....ordered one.

Glad I could help

Thanks Beau, You rock

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

You too!

I saw this product in Home Depot website and never use or have one in hand. I bought it because I need to sharpen my hedge trimmer blade. I just received it today and tested it out. During the spinning, I press the orange button near the spinning and it sounds crack crack. You should make a video to show us each function of the rotary tool and what each accessory in the box used for. I have no idea at all. 3 years ago price compared today price is still $22 that I paid for. Thanks for video

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thanks. Don’t press the button in at the front while the tool is spinning as that locks the collet from spinning to make it easier to change bits.

[@LennyCooke636]

I can't believe these things are only 20 bucks, I paid $22+ for mine and use it for electrical boards, but who knows how long it will last. If its moe than one year with moderate to frequent use, I will be happy with that. I can always replace it .

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

They are a great price and seem to be as good as the dremels but come with a free flexy shaft thingy that dremel charge $30 for!!

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

Wen has been around forever they are a well established tool maker, I have had my 23103 for over 2 years now and it is still going very strong

[@donh7654]

Thanks Beau! Have you suppose to lube the cable?

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thanks. Lube the cable?

[@lynnie0526]

Can you use Dremel bits and wheels with it

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Yes- Think of it as a Dremel with WEN written on the side.

[@fox156]

Did the company give you the product for free?

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

No, I bought it (and never corresponded with WEN, etc) . I have since got an ceiling air filter from them and it does a good job too. Im still using this 2 years on.

[@ellieward1789]

Ok question I just got one and I was testing out the cutting disk and it like flew off and snapped in half ?? Was it to loose ? Or something

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Many things can do that- if it’s loose, if it was faulty, I’d you were pressing to hard and it snapped etc.

How is this holding up after a year? I am planning on picking this up today - mostly for leatherwork and other assorted things 😅

Still works fine :)- no complaints
