Dremel 4300-DR-RT Variable Speed Rotary Tool (Open Box)

I was going to get the Dremel 120 Volt, but the listing was mislabelled (it said ROTARY but was a Vibrating tool), but the Dremel 4300 seems to be the right fit for all my needs. My needs: I'll be doing some engraving, but also more "sculpting / carving" as well as polishing and -well. I just need the versatility of the tool. Read a bunch of reviews, watched some videos to see wha tthe 4300 could do versus others, and opted for it over the 4000 in that it sounds like it'll hold up better to long stretches of heavy use (again, as an artist). I will say this: I'm VERY LIKELY to pick up the Flex Tool Attachment for it, and soon: I get the impression that the Flex Tool Attachment will help it feel a lot more like "an art tool" as opposed to "doing art with a power tool." That being said, I'm real happy with the feel of it, and I'll add two tips / observations that I should point out ahead of time (at the end of my review). It's a bit heavy, but I figured "i'm strong, so I'll deal with that; a more capable tool, but the trade off will be the weight." Regardless of what the numbers say, I'm factoring in "articulation of art, hand position for that kind of control, plus the weight of the tool" when I say that it feels at least twice as heavy as using a tattoo machine. So that IS something to consider - hand fatigue (again, I'm sure using the Flex Shaft Tool Attachment will help with that)- I was only able to run it for my first time for a short period of time (shoulda timed it, but I'd say roughly 15-20 minutes? IF that?) Normally, I don't review things unless I've been using them for a WHILE, but I am popping in with more of a sense of "this is how it felt out of the box." I feel like there's a good relationship I can develop with this tool, as an artist. I really felt confident about that, JUST on a first run, even though the pics aren't great (practice wood, practice shapes, etc). It'll take some learning, I can tell -as with any new tool or medium. And as with any new tool or medium, it's about listening to how the tool behaves, and working together with it to achieve your needs. Again, I can see that, and I feel confident I'll be able to learn this tool for what art I plan to do with it. 1. The reviews and tips were right: For that "carving" feel, you'll want something (like this) with the capacity for higher RPMs -lower settings it felt like I had less control than at higher settings. 2. If you're looking at reviews to figure out if it's right for you, I'd suggest doing a few youtube searches with the keywords of the tool AND what you intend to use it for, and get specific if you need to, to see how it handles. I'd also recommend a GOOGLE search for differences and comparative reviews. I found that VERY helpful. 3. TIPS ON HANDLING: a note on this. So think of the tool oriented as a compass if you hold it up and down. Think of the North-South axis as "how you load the bit into the chuck / collet" and then "how it rotates" as on the East-West axis. I found there was better control: 3a: When I "drew" lines that followed the East-West movement (trying to move the tool in a North-South orientation had me jumping the bit off the lines and just a general lack of control, and 3b: Considering "moving the tool on an East-West axis" also consider PUSHING away from you, as opposed to pulling towards you. Again, this was a matter of feeling like I had more control, and less erroneous "jumps" when it was more a "pushing pressure" than a "pulling pressure." I hope that makes sense.
