Pros: Inexpensive, durable, versatile
Cons: Damages wood when stripping paint
Summary: Dependable, versatile, and inexpensive - what's not to love. I have used my Black & Decker Wizard almost daily for the entire six months I have owned it. From grinding off rusted screws and nails to sanding wood, I have put it through the paces...

Pros: Powerful tool that is less expensive than the competition.
Cons: Not durable. Spring connecting motor to shaft breaks easily.
Summary: Plenty of speed and power, but the spring connecting the motor to the shaft breaks easily (first use). Maybe this is why this model is no longer widely available in stores. If it was, I'd take mine back. Spring is not available for purchase on Black &...

Pros: Versatility, cost, and ease of use

Pros: Excellent, easy to use, lots of included attachments.
Cons: Not much room for post-purchased attachments
Summary: Oh, this is fun! My husband received this as a present last year, and used it to make me a wonderful easel for painting. He then put it back. Shortly after, I started a large sign project for a local business and I wanted to do some nice trimming, and...

Pros: All the things you can do with this tool!
Cons: The instruction book
Summary: When I was given this tool I thought it was the neatest thing I would ever see. It has the cutest carrying case that has compartments for all the accessories. My husband travels and I can't always count on him to fix things for me so the Wizard Tool...

Pros: Worked great while it lasted
Cons: Durability problem
Summary: I owned a cordless Dremel but it never held a charge long enough to get any work done. So a few years ago I replaced it with the corded Black and Decker Wizard. The Wizard worked fine until one day I was drilling some small pilot holes in plywood,
