Dremel 4000 Rotary Tool 175W Multi Tool Kit (4 Attachments, 50 Accessories)

Best price according to the camels for the 3/36 Kit. Same price as last time for the 4/50 kit.

Edit: Also found this bundle Dremel 4000 Rotary Tool 175W Multi Tool Kit (3 Attachments, 36 Accessories, + Pet Grooming Nail Guard Attachment $144.96

Hmm, doesn't seem to be much of a deal. Probably just the separate kit added. Still maybe some people don't know about the kit. I'll leave it up.

After a bit more digging, the pet grooming kit is actually an OK price depending on which listing you look at. There are multiple ones. Maybe someone who knows a bit more about them can comment.

Edit: Be warned, for some reason the default seller is now Jianchao-LJC (for me at least). It is showing up as cheaper but I don't know if I would trust them with only 1 rating total over the last 12 months. Buy from them at your own risk. You may have to manually select Amazon AU as the seller now.

Edit 3: Back in stock at $101.00 and $145.10 sorry…. (Previously $116.16, and $149.51)

    Have bought, is good, would pay the extra for the battery version if I had my time again.

    • +2

      battery is much better

      • +4

        I'm waiting for the cordless to go into "why not, just in case I need it" price range.

        • +1

          the cordless is readily available. It's apparently more powerful than the corded version. I bought it at the trade expo.

          • @sunnyc: I want it a little cheaper considering how little I would use it.

              • +1

                @sunnyc: I've been watching the 8220. Don't think I'd need brushless. The 8220 has been down as low as $145 according to the camels.

              • @sunnyc: that one looks very fancy.

            • @ozbs25: Ozito cordless might suit your use case then?

              • +4

                @dust: Probably, but even if I don't use stuff regularly, I try to get good better quality stuff. I'll just patiently wait until it's a better price.

                • @ozbs25: I am on the same boat. Patiently waiting for Ozbargain deals and pulling the trigger. Those items that was bought surely will come to aid one day 😁

                • +1

                  @ozbs25: yep same - i think it's especially important for stuff you don't use regularly. if you buy something dirt cheap and use it once a year, it might have a component fail by the third year and your third use. ruins the point of getting something so that you have it handy.

                  i got the most basic dremel to do bits and pieces of diy in a rental and despite being like, $50 or something, it has a 5yr warranty and is solid as. can't say the same for some of the ozitos ive had over the years.

          • @sunnyc: Which version? There are 3 or 4 cordless varieties.

      • +6

        for people like me that would use this once in 3 years, battery longevity may be an issue.

        • It is something I do worry about but I think I would probably use it once I got it (I think, I hope). I'm pretty pedantic about cleaning and maintaining stuff so I reckon once I got this I would go ham cleaning everything I have, all the time.

        • Same. I got it three years ago and haven't used it more than a handful of times. Still a good thing to have.

        • Thats part of reason I bought the Ryobi (due to the battery). I havent used it, its been 12 months lol

        • +1

          If you're going to use it that rarely, I promise you you'll use it even less if it's a corded version. I'd still go for the battery version and just buy replacement batteries; I bought one recently off eBay for $30 and it works just fine.

        • I have the cordless one i bought about 10 years ago. Still works perfectly. Used to use it almost weekly and now maybe a few times a year. Knock off replacement batteries work really well. Theres a lot as its the same output as 10.8v cordless tools. Some of them have plastic clips at the bottom to fit other propriety tools and you just pull it off and it works on the dremel. My original battery still works but i like having spares that i share with other 10.8 (sometimes marketed as 12v) tools

        • for people like me that would use this once in 3 years, battery longevity may be an issue.

          Not 'may' be an issue, 'will' be an issue. I bought a whole bunch of tools 20 years ago and all the battery ones I've had to dump because you can no longer get replacement batteries. All the corded tools I still have, even the cheapo $20 GMC and Ozito ones because I only use them every few years.

        • I've had two battery versions both failed within 2 years so def something to consider

    • Hah I would almost swap you my battery one for a 240v one. I find dremel to be one of those tools I use so infrequently that the added dramas of keeping batteries charged and longevity etc to be more of a burden than anything.

  • or just get the ozito rotary with the same specs for $20 + spend good accessories that you actually need

    • +12

      This is deal for people who want higher-end and better quality product at reduced price. Just like those who want Herman Miller Aeron chairs rather than cheap Officeworks chairs.

      • -5

        You can get a lemon in any product. I'd rather return a product to Bunnings 20 times over a single return time on certain "better" products.

        • +10

          I'd rather not put 19 of them into landfill. You do you.

        • +5

          I used to think that. Now I realise the damn thing can decide to be unusable just when I need it. Most likely urgently. That needs to built into the price.

          With gardening tools for example, I am slowly transitioning out of ozito and into makita when sale prices are attractive.

          With TVs, I won’t get another hisense next time, but will pay the extra for Sony, Samsung or LG depending on which has the better deal at the time.

          • +1

            @entropysbane: Glad you realized that. In most cases, the idea of saving some bucks at the beginning turned out to be spending more at the end of the day, as you'll need to repeatedly buy something, paying for their subpar quality unless you have something really good in your hands. This applies not only to powered tools or TVs, but also I found it very true when it comes to my RC hobbies. And I have transitioned from Ryobi to Bosch blue series as well. I still have some Ryobi tools, but I just won't use them when I need Bosch to get the job done.

      • -4

        Nah. They both spin at the same speed. Not sure what you mean by quality for 6x the price!

        • +1

          Yeah, just like comparing a Lada and a Mercedes, both are cars with 4 wheels you just drive around.

          • +1

            @edfoo: One of the tragedies of the collapse of the iron curtain is there is no longer the stark example of East and West Berlins to demonstrate the consequences of letting socialism go too far.
            On the west side of Checkpoint Charlie, BMW, Mercs and Audis. In a variety of specifications and colours to suit anyone’s budget and needs.
            On the east side, crappy trabants in a choice of three short lived pastel colours.

            But a trabant, once you got official approval to get one from the government, was a lot cheaper than a BMW.

          • -2

            @edfoo: PS mercedes are awful with reliability and parts costs $$
            What an comparison fail!

          • @edfoo:

            both are cars with 4 wheels you just drive around.

            But they aren't, which is why the analogy doesn't work.
            Maybe you could specify exactly what you mean by 'quality' in a power tool that most people will only use 3 or 4 times?

            • @1st-Amendment: If you only plan to use a rotary tool for 3 or 4 times, then yeah no point buying expensive one.
              I did say in my first post this is for people who want higher-end better quality tool, probably because they use it more often or for their profession.
              Like a lot of power tools sold in Bunnings, if you are only occasional home DIY handyman, yeah just buy Ozito tool. Some people prefer Ryobi for better known brand. Professionals and others who prefer better quality tool to last longer will probably choose Makita, Milwaukee, etc.
              So at the end of the day, do you think it is wrong for some people to buy this more expensive Dremel brand over Ozito brand?

              • @edfoo:

                do you think it is wrong for some people to buy this more expensive Dremel brand over Ozito brand?

                No I was just calling out the Lada/Mercedes analogy as not a great one since a car has far more features than a simple rotary tool. Pretty much all it does is spin around at various speeds, what things do you think make one spinny thing higher quality than another?

                • @1st-Amendment: Lada/Mercedes comparison is mainly about the build and quality.

                  • @edfoo:

                    and quality.

                    So back to the original question, what specifically makes for 'higher quality' spinning?

                    Because if you can't define that, and it's ok to not know, I personally couldn't tell you without looking up the specs, then maybe you shouldn't pay twice the price for it.

                    • @1st-Amendment: I have the older Dremel 400 tool from a number of years ago, solid feel in my hand and the accessories they come with were good quality.
                      The latest Ozito tool I bought from Bunning is their heat gun a few months ago, the plastic felt cheaper and weaker.
                      So yeah I have tools from both brands to compare based on my personal experience. Do you?

                      • @edfoo:

                        they come with were good quality.

                        You keep using that word without defining it…

                        I have tools from both brands to compare based on my personal experience. Do you?

                        Of course. I have some old first generation Chinese cheapies from the 20 years ago that still work. Their sole job is to spin things around quickly and they do that for half the price of the name brand spinning things.

                        • @1st-Amendment: No need to define. I have been using them for a few years and I know it.

                          You keep questioning the value of Dremel, have you actually used one yourself to test out? If not, then you cannot imply it is poor value just because it is more expensive.

                          • @edfoo:

                            and I know it.

                            Exactly what I thought, you demand 'quality' without being able to define what it is. You are every marketing person's dream…

                            have you actually used one yourself to test out?

                            Owned one for about 20 years, along with plenty of no-name stuff. They all spin things around…

                            • @1st-Amendment: I have already described my experience earlier, not sure how much more elaborate do you want me to say.
                              If you have owned a Dremel before and cannot tell the difference in its quality compared to other no-name brands, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with you.

                              • @edfoo:

                                and cannot tell the difference in its quality compared to other no-name brands, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with you.

                                I asked you how YOU tell the difference and you spent 1/2 a dozen posts avoiding this simple question. This reply avoids that question yet again so maybe we just leave it there…

    • You mean last months special that had no stock? :(

    • +3

      I had a $20 Ozito. Used it a bit, but it wore out quickly. The Dremel is a far better tool. Is it worth it? Up to you. For me it is.

  • Aldi was selling the hobby version for $20 version a few weeks ago

  • +1

    This one has good reviews, $69 for 200W (corded):
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Heavy-Rotary-Grinder-Sander-Polish…

    • might end up getting this one, will hardly use it but shall be handy for projects

  • Anybody know or have had any good cordless versions? I feel like the idea of cords will turn me off and as a casual user.

    • +3

      I have this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Dremel-Cordless-Lithium-Rotary-var…. I can definitely recommend it. I haven't found anything it couldn't cut through, and the cordless is much more handy, and hence will be used a lot more than a corded one.

      • how often do you use it, and how often do you charge it?

        • I use it maybe once every couple of months. I've probably only needed to charge it once every 6 months. I bought a spare battery just in case, but haven't actually needed it.

      • What is the power of the cordless?
        Corded has 175W while I cannot find any equivalent info about cordless

        • No idea what the rated power is. I looked at a lot of Youtube reviews before I bought it, and they were all fairly consistent in saying that it was powerful enough for whatever they used it for, with the only drawback being that it could run out of power if you used it extensively. I rarely use mine for more than 10-15 mins at a time, and a full battery would likely last an hour or more, so it's never been an issue for me. As above, I bought a spare battery and haven't actually needed it.

          Long story short, I'm not sure what the rated power is, but I wouldn't worry about it anyway; it'll run whatever bit you need at whatever speed you need it to run.

      • That's the one I'm keeping an eye on.

      • Thanks. I had my eye on that one. Good to know its powerful enough.

  • Hm now I'm wondering….something like this needs to be portable and powerful and have a spin mechanism….why not buy appropriate bits for the electric screwdriver or the cordless drill that I already have?

    Wouldn't be good for the engraving or similar tasks that need fine control, but for everything else?

    Hmmmmm

  • Good for deburring a hole inside a stainless tube?

    • Youll get better results with a metal file

      • Stainless brush on a drill?

  • I needed one of these when I took apart old shed. The screws were rusted, I tried to get those removal screw tools but didn't work cause the rusted nails was moving with it. End up using pilers.
    If I could go back in time and get one of these would saved alot of time

  • Milwaukee m12 rotary tools good alternative plenty aftermarket chargers n batteries available

    https://www.totaltools.com.au/83419-milwaukee-m12-rotary-too…

  • I want it, but not sure what to use it for?

    • Google is your friend.

    • Grinding ur dogs nails.
      It's a Dremel, so each bit is a 1 x use proposition. I think the $152 kit is better value as it has the cutting discs and sharpener.

  • lol, price dropped futher to $112.7 and $145.11 today

    • Hi Jianchao.

      • It's currently $116.16 sold by Amazon AU.

        • Updating. Thanks.

          Edit: I'm not sure if I can edit the title. It's bringing up some change of store warning.

  • Prices have come down to $116.16 and $149.51 for the two kits. May still need to manually change the store to Amazon AU if that's your preference. I can't seem to change the post as it comes up with a warning for me.

  • How good are the aliexpress accessories to use with a dremel ?
