This is a no name house brand in china . aliexpress sales the same thing called jangk life and its identical for like $12 , i got 2 at $6.99 each on sale. And they even sale this dspiae version for $23 but the jangk Life model i got is the same thing and it comes with 4 bits and type c charger
Yeah bought a similar one on Aliexpress for under 10€. They all look the same and are sold under different brandings. But mine didn’t has the set screw. Maybe there is a new version out. I had to take mine apart and resolder the battery connections. It did shut down randomly.
You know, I was a bit sceptical and thought the Dspiae Sanding Pen was a bit of a gimmick, BUT it now lives on my work top permanently and I use it every day! Well worth the money.
DSPIAE has a set of different size tools for grinding and they also have some tools where you can stick sanding pads on them in two different sizes and different sanding grits which is amazing for sanding on 118 scale cars and they’re coming out with some more tools. I also have the STYLO Dremel to and it has its purpose to because it uses a lot of grinding tools and cutters so they both work very well for what you’re using them for !
I have one and use it constantly, it shines with their round sanding sponge attachments. I never use it as a dremel, but with the round sanding sponges it's absolutely amazing at polishing and buffing and nub removal.
I'm about to buy some of your paints. I've started air brushing and have purchased quite a few of the items you have reviewed , love the content you have.
This looks like a cool mini sanding pen. But you're right. It would be more useful if it takes other bits. Not just buffing wheels, but also drum sanders, grinding stones and cutting wheels. The small size and cordless feature would make a very useful tool on the go. Something you can carry in your pocket and not be too cumbersome and heavy. I'm glad you showed it to us. Could be a handy tool in my toolbox.
I bought the same unit, from a different company. This was about 3 years ago. It was $60 and came with what will probably be the bits that are coming soon. It's a decent tool. Do not overload it for prolonged periods.
I will stick with my variouse Dremel tools, have a ton of different bits. My oldest Dremel motor tool is from 1984, and except replacing the little brushes a couple of times it still runs like a champ.
I use a more professional handpiece made by RAM motor. Yes it's a bit expensive but I've paid less than $100 to have my handpiece refurbished and even less to replace the power cord on the base unit. I come from a dental lab background so this was similar to what I used at my job. It doesn't take Dremel bits but 1/32 shanks. I've got hundreds of old burs, grinders and such from my job that weren't any good for my job but still are great for model work. My handpiece has probably been around for close to 10 years now.
Really disappointing that it doesn't accept standard bit sizes and they don't have any actual bits available to buy. Thank you as always for sharing, hope the family is doing great. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏 P.S. I'm sticking to my dremal
Pretty sure the replacement pads included a spare bit if you just wanted the pads+bit. That may have been a promo thing but for some reason i have three bits and ordered 2 sets of pads and the pen when i got mine since all together it was only 20 bucks.
They have a nice set of grinding bits available. It’s a very different beast to a dremel,it’s for very fine work,it should be held like a pen,and not like a potato peeler as BR does😂
I have this tool and love it! There are already a bunch of bits out for it. I got mine from Mecha Warehouse. Like you, I wish it fit standard size Dremel bits or even their tungsten drill bit set. The things I like most are the small size makes it easier to have precise control vs my Dremel, The lighter weight means less hand fatigue, and the RPM's being slower means it's not nearly as prone to melting the plastic compared to the Dremel.
I was considering this tool but decided to get a wired one with a dust collecting station originally used for acrylic nails. It has a quick switch toolless chuck. It handled everything I threw at it during my GK sessions. My latest purchase was a DSPIAE ES-A reciprocating sander. So far so good. But I needs time to see how it will get on.
The dspia is the best for using with the small sponge polishers for final polishing work - its not heavy or high rpm so wont burn through the paint as easily as a more heavy high rev sander.
I just bought this Im in the UK and it was only £17.00, came with the reaming bit and also a circular sanding tool that takes Dspiae pre cut foam sanding discs available seperately. Ali express
Nicely done sir. I do believe you are correct about the Dremel being better. Although I do like the portability of the dspiae. However, with a correct size drill bit one could in theory re drill the chuck to be able to accept the bits, possibly, so it would fit the other larger bits. With two set screws it should still center the bit?
Mad works have just released a rotary tool with torque compensation. It's not wireless, but it's pen sized like the dremel. If i knew it was coming out, i would have held off on the sanding pen. This dspiae tool is definitely too powerful to have "sanding" in it's name
That’s interesting. My Dspiae absolutely will not take a shank more than 3mm in diameter ( it’s the hole in the collet,not the grub screws preventing this).Have you measured your 1/8” bits? There’s no way my Dspiae will take a 3.175 mm shank (1/8”). I wish it would!
I've had mine about a year now. My only disappointment with it is that it doesn't take the PCB drill bits they also sell, the hole I think is .13mm too small to fit them. If it was just that tiny bit larger, this would have been perfect. I also fashioned a sleeve to fit the Madworks sanding sponge disk bit and have been using it for that ever since and have loved it as the designated tool for that.
On the Dspae - That's an awfully aggressive bit to be using in a handheld tool. It's a bit odd that they opted for 3mm shank (1/8" is ~3.2mm) but if you had a drill press and a good bit, you could likely take the two set screws out then drill it out and make it accept 1/8" bits without too much trouble with the obvious catch of voiding the warranty immediately. The Dremel looks nice but have notoriously short lifespans (I'm on my 8th or 9th Dremel in my lifetime) and for $52, you might be better served getting a "regular" Dremel kit ($65-80+ depending on the bits included) and adding the flexible shaft if you need to be able to get into confined spaces or want something smaller.
Love your videos, but it's clear you've never used a carbide bit as aggressive as that. If you want to remove a ton of material, that's useful. David Union makes bit sets for all removal projects.
I mean yea... To some it might be a little overblown as a negative reason but this Tool requiring a Wrench to secure a Bit is - _to me_ - quite a turnoff 😑 Personally, I'm also a _huge_ sucker for a little more control so seeing someone slip off the model is exactly what I was expecting to happen - *_Tamiya_*_ Plastic Files_ it is for me. As for drilling I'd rather stick with the *_MiniWare_*_ ES15 Electric Screwdriver_ fitted out with the *_God Hand_*_ Hexagon Drill Bits_ available in a range between 0.5 - 3.0mm in 0.1mm increments I _constantly_ use to either drill or ream 3D Printed Holes to perfect size like whenever using Heat Set Inserts isn't applicable or when I have to do weird stuff like making a dozen vent holes for a Silicone Casting Mould 🤔
Great review! I'd only buy one for nubs; was there a nub sanding bit? I would wear some kind of glasses when using that tool, be careful there kids at home.
This channel is criminally underrated !! If you are reading this comment could you make a video testing clear coats over Revell Chrome spray paint ? I tried several (4x) so far include Pledge and all of them cause clouding :(
Hey Barbatos Rex, you can use Dspiae Sanding Pen (DSP) to stir paint too. Cut a "T" piece of the runner off the tree and insert it in the DSP and you have a unlimited makeshift paint stirring rods from the used runners.
Very insightful. I have a dremel, great for many jobs but for plastic it tends to have too high speeds (even when I dial it to 1). Make me chicken out of using it for working with some small details.
If you have a friendly dentist, you may get him/her to autoclave and save you some dental burrs (they can only use them on one patient.) They fit a small Dremel type collect and are very sharp and hard. I've ground mild steel with them and they didn't hesitate a bit and didn't seem to dull. Didn't see where the "Load" indications where while you where using it.
The chuck is the only downside (I have one). Power at such a small size is the biggest upside. I ended up buying a drill style chuck off of aliexpress ($2) that fit, and it's made this way easier to use for the smaller bits it can handle. Overall, I like it, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it
I bought a really cheap nail polisher which has served me very well for 28mm mini's. In this price bracket however I would also go up to a Dremel or another good brand like Proxon.
Hey Rex, im new to painting and ive been trying to learn how to seal Metallic paints, without affecting the metallic finish. I use mostly Mr Hobby/Mr Metallic paints. If anyone else knows, it would be a great help. Thanks.
DSPIAE blew it when they made it only to handle 3.0mm shank accessories. Most long time modelers have tons of bits etc.. with 1/8" shanks and DSPIAE knew this. Having to buy only their accessories that fit was a HUGE mistake. I have this tool and it's good for polishing paint jobs and the their sanding kits work fine. They do sell " DSPIAE Carbide Drill Sets " but fail to say they DO NOT fit their "Grinder / Polishing " tool ( NOT DRILL ) in the video. You can go on line and find 3.0mm bits but they are not True 3.0mm shanks. ( 1/8"in. = 0.124 in, / 3.0mm = 0.118 in. ). If they went with 1/8" they would have sold a ton of them.
@@willisjackson7029 There are 3 jaw chucks you can put on to handle different shank sizes. But they make the tool so long and 3 jaw chucks ( like the Dremel one ) turn off center and very small drills just break if you want to use drills ( I tried this set up already ) I thought of using a machinist finish reamer to open the DSPIAE to 1/8" in. then it would be perfect as you said.
While I understand how annoying this could be, you've gotta understand that the majority of DSPIAE's market is outside of the US, and that most of that market grew up with metric, and thus have tools / tool sets in sizes that are common to that system, which makes it an ultimately better business decision for them.
Most grind bits I have are 2.35mm in stead of 3mm that the Dspiae one uses. You can buy a Galaxy Tool adapter that fits the 3mm chuck on the Dspiae and fit 2.35mm bits. It's the Galaxy Tool T09K11 part number
@HighBeanz True, only 3 countries still use the antiquated and moronic inch system. Everyone else uses metric because it's so easy. Nothing should use the inch system; it's a waste of time.
i have a Dremel with a bit that looks just like that - and it is VERY Aggressive and just Loves to eat. and it WILL - Eat Your Fingers to the bone ! but that bit is NOT for grinding.
That bit is way too aggressive to be classed as a 'sanding' tool. Also, given that you need to embrace the whole device in order to control it, it's a bit pointless having the overload warning where it will be covered. This is assuming that the overload warning refers to the user trying to do too much material removal, too fast.

Yup. Drop shippers on Amazon suck.
Same with the sander
Yeah bought a similar one on Aliexpress for under 10€. They all look the same and are sold under different brandings. But mine didn’t has the set screw. Maybe there is a new version out.
I had to take mine apart and resolder the battery connections. It did shut down randomly.
I saw loads on Amazon under different names with different accessories bundles when I was looking up the dremel stylo today.
Has anyone taken the different ones apart to see if they are using the same motors etc? That'd be the proof in the pudding as they say.
I have one use it all the time. It's very handy. I have some grinding bits, but it's especially useful with the sanding sponges
This, and the sander, would be great additions to my travel kit.

You can also get sanding and polishing discs and sells extra shanks separately

Cool, been meaning to get a smaller dremel for removing resin print supports.
