Just scored a Dremel 4300 for $60! Worth it?

Found a Dremel 4300 at a pawn shop for $60. It looks barely used, comes with the case and a bunch of accessories. Is this a steal or should I pass? I mostly do small wood carvings and occasionally cut some metal.

Dude, that's a no-brainer! Dremel is the gold standard for rotary tools. I've had my 4300 for years and it's still going strong. Grab it before someone else does!

Nice find! Just make sure you wear safety glasses and maybe a dust mask with those carvings. Check the collets and switches for smooth operation before you buy. $60 is a good deal if it's in good shape.

Agreed with Dan. Also test the variable speed control - make sure it doesn't stick. I've seen some pawn shop tools that looked good but had issues. But for $60, even if you have to replace the motor brushes, it's worth it.
