Stylo+
A corded rotary tool – being corded allows the tool to be thinner and less bulky (without a battery), which adds to the ease and manoeuvrability of the tool while using it
It’s been specially designed for lighter duty work, such as arts and crafts, detail and precision type work. Examples are wood carving, engraving, polishing, sanding, and so on
Uses different accessories/bits to perform different tasks
Uses a collet and collet nut system for different accessories and bits on the tool. Has a collet lock button to help with changing accessories on the tool
Tool and grip is designed to be used like a pen, for comfort but also precision
Is a variable speed tool, that can operate between 5000 to 22,000 RPM
Designed with a quiet motor
Tool weighs only 6.8 oz
Stylo+ vs Other Rotary Tools
Stylo+ is designed to be sleek and lightweight
Other rotary tools might be bigger, more powerful, better for heavier duty tasks, and be slightly more versatile with the range of tasks they can be used for
Stylo+ might not be as suitable for cutting and drilling as other rotary tools
Stylo+ is mostly suited to accessories, and might not be compatible with several Dremel attachments
Stylo+ vs Flex Shaft Attachment
The Stylo+ has a thinner cord, remains cooler in operation and is lighter than the flex shaft.
You don’t need to connect it to a fellow tool where the body of the tool can increase fatigue and cause the hand piece to heat up after prolonged use.
This makes the Stylo+ lighter and easier to maneuver, so it excels in precision of detailed light duty applications over a longer working session.
The flex-shaft in comparison is great for these applications over a short time period, but doesn’t match the comfort and convenience of the Stylo+ for the longer working sessions.
The flex-shaft is, however, better suited to more heavy duty applications such as cutting and grinding.
Flex Shaft Attachment
A standalone flex shaft attachment for compatible Dremel rotary tools – you can check compatibility on the flex shaft attachment product description
Can be used for a range of light tasks that require precision or detail
Has a 36 inch flexible cable (has a 5 inch bend radius)
Holds up to a 1/8 inch shank in the flex shaft pen
Currently has a 1 year limited warranty (although, confirm this yourself prior to purchase)
