The original Dremel is far more durable than the RTX and maybe also the Ultimax. For some reason, the RTX cannot be used for over 15minutes under heavy load or else it might blow(overheats very fast). The Dremel however isnt as hot as the RTX.
Both are equally good(some versions of the Dremel have limited speed control compared to the RTX)

I've not tried other brands though, but if you're into alot of modding. I suggest the original Dremel.

Dremel Pro - RM5++ (For hardcore user)
Black and Decker RTX - RM2++
Cap ayam - RM70-1++(for beginner)

I have both the Black & Decker RTX and also the Dremel 395, and also used the Abletools before.

Among all i'd choose the Dremel 395 solely because of its reliability. It doesnt heat up as fast as the others and that means it would last longer.

My RTX blew up two times already coz of overheating. It just overheats too fast. But one thing with the RTX is its torque. Its the the best among the three. at low speeds, this thing hardly bogs down under load. Even the dremel lacks the massive amount of torque this thing has.

Lastly, the abletools is a good enough tool if u are really low on cash and just wanna do a little modding. torque and power wise looses out on the other two. rest it well and dont overheat it and it should serve you well.

how about abletool pro kit set???
hav same item with other brand,like cuting blade,grill,.......

I've used few brands including B&D RTX, Ultimax, Pro's Kit & Pegasus.

And as MetalZone mentioned, the RTX heats up too fast but the torque is superb.

For those on really tight budget could consider either ABLE TOOL or Ultimax.

But if planning to use for long term, then better get Pro's Kit or Dremel lor.

Mebe more forumers could share their xperience.

hi,bombman!!
i know u got sell the Pro kit and Ultimax, so wat the price u sell?
with the tool kit also?

hi any where else can get dremal? i scout on all the major shopping area in KL.. just only found B&D in jusco only.. any other area? another thing i noticed.. B&D has a extension tool to make the whole thing slimmer or into a more portable fine cutter. others dun have?

Probably at ACE Hardware Mid Valley?

Mine tool

ikan semilang, how u feel with this tools?
will it hot very fast?
the tools kit is tahan or not??
how much u buy it??

1.Not fast very hot.

2.Just have using it for cut my side panel. Here the result:-



Sorry for my 1st mod...

3.Bught 2nd from forumer RM40.

what brand is that ?

No idea but it wrote ABLETOOLS.

this question has been asked countless times. check this thread for your answer: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=172444&st=0

that extension tool is called a Flex Shaft. I have the B&D Flex Shaft. Dremel also has their own. They are all interchangeable and can be fixed on all three that i tried (B&D RTX, Dremel, Abletools).

i see the cut by abletools is not very smooth leh....
Will dremel and B&D hav same type of cut edge,,,,

what do u mean by that?
It's not the tool, but the user's skill that makes the difference.

has been a very long time since i visited the case modding thread.

hehe... not bad ah, quite a few people using Abletools since I first post up the picture a long time ago

Anyway, abletools is sufficient for normal modders who only once a while decide to cut up their case.

btw, haven't use my abletool for a long time cause I have not that much time to mod and also its spoiled. Got a question for you guys, the tool got stuck between the metal i was cutting and mechanism got jammed. Now it can still rotate cannot go to a high rpm and its current speed can't cut anything. Any idea how to fix it? My thought is that its the carbon brush but I'm not too sure.

tat abletools is easy got in the problem???
anyone has face the problem with it??

Problems do arise only if the tools are not handled properly, most of the time.

If already faulty, then just go change it (if got warranty).

And UGPM ckyee88

why ned to buy tis expensive tools???
simply use jigsaw already can cut hole la......
