If you do any kind of fine work, from automotive repairs to pet grooming, then a rotary tool is a godsend, a way to do things more efficiently, in a shorter time frame and with a lower risk of repetitive motion injuries. And right now, Amazon is making it easier than ever to adopt the rotary tool lifestyle by taking half off the price of an 80-piece kit.
The Hardell Cordless Rotary Tool Kit is just $18, 50% less than the $36 it’ll normally run you. For the money you get a powerful cordless tool, an impressive suite of attachments, and a case that keeps it all secure and organized. This price is good on the blue and pink colorway, but more muted tones (some with fewer speed options and accessories) are also on sale for a few bucks more.
The tool itself is a lightweight 8V rechargeable handheld with a magnetic chuck and automatic locking mechanism that allows for 2-second accessory changes, way faster than using a traditional screw-on system. It has six different speed settings between 5,000 and 30,000 RPM, an onboard light that makes it easy to see what you’re working on, a battery indicator, and a USB-C charging port (and included wire) for fast and easy recharging. There are multiple accessories for sanding, carving, drilling, grinding, cutting, and polishing, so it’s almost certain that you’ll have all the tools you need for whatever you need to use this tool for.
One shopper wrote that this tool “worked beautifully.” They were also a fan of the multiple speeds and the fact that “the battery never died on me while using it for a lengthy outdoor project.”
Another agreed, noting, “The higher voltage works better for all the projects I am doing, and the battery life seems to last for quite a while.” Another interesting tidbit is that, reading the reviews, customers mention using this tool for everything from dog grooming to cutting brass to sanding wood.
The Hardell Cordless Rotary Tool Kit might not have the name recognition of the biggest rotary tool brand, but pound for pound and dollar for dollar it’s a great tool. It’s worth buying at full price, and for $18 it borders on must-buy territory for anyone who has or might ever have a reason to use one.
