The Fliplock is the best feature of this tool, and it really sets it apart from its peers. If you have messed with the collets on other rotary tools, you will be amazed the first time you use the RTX's Fliplock. It is also an important safety feature, as the tool will not turn on with the Fliplock locked. It even has a grippy rubber on the Fliplock that I like the feel of.
The speed control. It says it's 3-speed, but in fact it has infinite control between (and above and below) these speeds. It goes below the 1 and above the 3.
The grip is as nice as it can be. How holdable a rotary tool is makes a huge difference when doing intricate work. For this type of work, the tool is held like a pencil near the tip. Ideally this would be a small area, however it must have some width as it has the spindle going through it. I really feel that the RTX makes the best use of this space. They placed rubber there and made it thin in one direction (see pictures). This makes it easy to control like a pencil.
I can't stand those whiny Dremel motors! This motor is a dream in comparison. It is merely a quiet whir. It is powerful, keeps its torque, and heats up a lot less than the Dremel I have used.
Overall, I have no flaws with this tool. I think that it is designed well to the last detail. The fact that I can get it so affordably is really a steal. There is the RTX-B and RTX-6. They are the same tool, GET WHICHEVER IS CHEAPER AT THE TIME YOU PURCHASE. You won't be disappointed.
Update after three months both my RTX 3S rotary tools have a lot of play at the collet shaft. I just sent them to the service center. Since they do not repair this item I am hopeful they will replace them. So I must take back my Superior design statement. It seams the front bearings are not good at all. Too bad because otherwise it is a great tool.
Final update after send the units back to Black and Decker service they sent them back saying they were within specs and the were no serviceable parts anyway. Basically it is a disposable unit and not designed for any production work. Still I like the tool's power and size but the front shaft design had me puzzled. So I opened it up. The front shaft is not part of the motor. It is a separate shaft with a good bearing easily changed if needed held in with a cir-clip. There is a dogbone on the end of the shaft that engages a socket on the fan then the motor with it's own bearings. Mystery solved and back to 5 stars. If you notice play at the front shaft don't worry about it, it is normal.
The bad:
I read a lot of reviews saying it was quiet which sounded nice. It is... when on the low setting. After you get past low an appreciable amount it jumps up in speed and gets loud. On the high setting it's actually annoyingly loud. I have a WEN 2305 Rotary Tool Kit with Flex Shaft that I got off eBay for cheeaaappp and it's actually quieter if the housing screws are perfectly tight to keep vibrations down. No matter how hard you grip the Black & Decker it's going to buzz like mad.
The good:
It's quite a bit more powerful than the Wen rotary I have. Even on the low setting it's surprising what kinds of jobs I can get away with doing. It's pretty cheap.
Bottom line:
I'd recommend this for some one who's going to get quite a bit of heavy use out of their rotary tool. I've gotten by just fine with my Wen for a number of years and the only reason I "replaced" it was because I thought the motor brushes died on me. The Wen uses a real funky sized motor brush that's hard to source and the company doesn't supply replacements so don't even ask them. After opening the Wen the problem was just that the PCB for the variable speed pot had gotten fried somehow and had a lifted/open trace. Resoldering this with a jumper wire completely fixed the problem and it's back in action. The Wen is more than capable for most jobs I find. My only gripes with it are that I have to crank the speed a bit to get proper torque and that it doesn't accept standard Dremel accessories. (If you're thinking about the Wen after reading my review you need to know you won't be able to use it with Dremel accessories like the Dremel 678-01 Circle Cutter and Straight Edge Guide unless you can find some sort of adapter, or modify the housing yourself to match the threading)
Now I use the two rotary tools side by side for different jobs and they get things done. I don't need the Black & Decker, but the added torque is nice to have.
Top reviews from other countries
el perducto en si es bastante bueno menciona la publicación que es de 3 velocidades pero el riel para regular es un potenciómetro al final de cunetas reglas a tu antojo la velocidad en más de 3 opciones
en las velocidad más bajas se comporta excelente en las más alto esta algo difícil de controlar pero te acostumbras..
solo viene con un mandril y como 3 lijas el mandril es de 1/8 así que si eres como yo de los que ocupa usar vástagos de 1/4 quizás necesites ver otras opciones o comprar en su defecto un adaptador.
en general es una excelente herramienta muy capaz pensé que estaría más grande que las dr**** pero para nada el mismo tamaño y si no fuera por la falta de aditamentos para esta estarían al mismo nivel
overall you get all the utility of a much more expensive tool, doesn't come with enough attachments so buy a kit i suggest the genesis GART208 208 piece accessory set for ~25$ which also comes with smoother working replacement locking bits.
overall 10/10 would recommend
Worked really well and I am happy with it.
