Genesis GRT2103-40 Variable Speed Rotary Tool with 40 Universal Accessories and Storage Case

As other reviews have indicated this tool has a problem with the power switch. I don't know why out of all the things that could break on the this it would be the power switch. I was willing to take a gamble on this because it so so cheap. I'd figured the motor would give out before anything. But no the power switch is defective. The main issue is that the internal spring assembly for the switch is very low quality. This really is a simple fix. All you have to do is pop out the power switch. And reinforce the plastic housing around the spring. After that the tool seems to work fine.I did call the number on the pink paper that came with the tool. As this does come with a two year warranty. I talked to customer service and told them the problem. They said to email them the Amazon invoice and they would send me a new one. And sure enough they did. I've only had the tool for a little while so I can't speak for how it will hold up long term. And normally I wouldn't give something that has issues like this 5 stars. But Genesis's customer service was so supportive and fixing the issue was really simple for anyone that is even remotely handy.

Works good, great price. The only downside I noticed: it has tendency to increasing rotation speed itself. You will have to manually switch it to lower when that happens.

This was a gift for my father in law. Fits his hand and is very easy for him to use.

The rotary tool itself is great, and easy to use. The attachments, however, are cheaply made and easy to break. But for its price, buying new attachments isn’t a big deal.

Earlier I left a 5 star review for this rotary tool, but as the weeks went on I discovered that finding quality replacements for the cheaper bits it comes with isn't so easy. After all of the sanding discs broke, one even before I used it, I bought a colet that would fit a smaller drill bit I bought, and the colet is now stuck in the machine and I can't get it out, no matter what I tried! So, in order to ever use the tool again, I will have to borrow someone else's drill and drill the colet out! Other than this, I liked the variable speed, and had no problem with the on and off switch as some had. I would not buy this machine again, however, but spend the extra to get a better quality tool.Genesis Rotary Tool update: well, even borrowing and using another drill to get the stuck colet out, it remains stuck, so, in the garbage the whole machine goes!! Don't waste your money!

All three sands bands were useless. This one flew off before even touching what i was trying to sand. The other two lasted a moment or two before doing the same. The sound changes during use even when the work being performed didn't change which makes me think it is struggling when all I'm doing is filing dog nails. It is pretty heavy and hard to hold.

There's no reason to purchase a name brand with this available. The speed is infinitely variable with numbered reference points.Honestly, the name brand rotary tools are ridiculously overpriced for what they are: an electric motor and potentiometer. I figured that even if this broke, the internals are so simple, i could repair it. I've used it to trim some baseboard heating covers and had no problems.The included accessories are junk, but will get you started and you can buy quality ones as needed. I found name brand cut off wheels to last more than 4x as long and did not have any shatter.My only complaint is with the shaft-lock button and bit change procedure. It is hard to find the detent to hold the shaft in place and the included stamped steel wrench is likely to be lost (though, obviously, any wrench could be used). I haven't had any bits come out of the chuck though.Overall, great purchase and i would highly recommend it to anyone!

Never buy again amazon with using UPS took over 2 weeks to deliver, horrible and not a darn thing you can do about it. Only 1 star just because it uses lithium replaceable batteries, deserves 0 stars without that. Quality of the rotary tool falls way short, way worse quality over their previous 7.2v nicad version. I bought 2 sets one of the sets the charger base came snapped completely off, on all 4 screws, lucky the screw hole was deep enough I could use my own, longer screws and fix it. Next if you use any bit that's just a tad off balance these things vibrate horrible. The bits that come with it are just throw away's they are super cheap made. I can not recommend this rotary tool, very later amazon shipping

I love it, and use it for my wood carving class

Soy amateur la compre solo por que estaba economica y tenuna un solo proyecto. La use una vez cuando intente usarla la segunda vez ya no apretaba el accesorio no se si fui yo. Pero bueno las intrucciones dicen que contactes al proveedor lo hice y me enviaron unos repuestos de colets y funciona de maravilla. Lo recomiendo para esos amateurs como yo .

This would be a good deal at more than twice the price. I've used it to cut a few pieces of metal and plastic and it did a better job than a cordless Dremel brand rotary tool I borrowed, which is very impressive for a $20 tool. For cutting a thin stainless steel steel pipe I had the speed set to 4/10, whereas the cordless Dremel would struggle even at 10 due to lower torque.The accessories that come with the Genesis rotary tool are nearly useless, but when combined with a set of reinforced Dremel quick change cutting wheels, this will go through anything that a good Dremel will.

This is a good rotary tool but all of the small bits it came with were bad/expired. Every cut off wheel was broken and that sucks because I needed those and correct me if I’m wrong but part of the price is the kit.TLDR it’s a good rotary tool but do not depend on the cut off wheels it comes with. Buy new ones.

I bought 2 genesis tools,.1 glue gun and the mini Dremel. I bought the Dremel for an extra battery and also because I thought it would be useful. Haven't used either much at all, then tonight find out one of the batteries won't charge. And of course last purchase was over 3 months ago so no support or return. Piece of S***. I would strongly recommend against buying. The glue gun IS pretty handy but screw it if they can't make decent batteries.
