I bought one and use it more than my full size one. Its a great as heck tool that does just about all you want done. Get one its a hell of a tool to have. Great video!!
They make them.. Look at companies like "Mechanics" and "Relife" We use them in the elctronics repair business all the time for adhesive removal, IC polishing etc.
Hey thanks for this great review. Was looking to get something for engraving and thought the 3000 and 8220 were too expensive. Then I saw this review and you answered the questions and dealt with the issues! So glad I watched your review
I wish I had watched your video before I bought this. I haven't used it yet, but I can see that it does have weak power. I use my dremels for wood carving and small lapidary stuff. I will use this tool primarily to get layout lines started and then switch to more powerful tools. Great job on the video!
This is what I needed to know. Honestly I would recommend a good nail e-file for high powered detailed work. It's lightweight and adjustable. Also can cut through plastic.
I’ve been using a dremel 3000 for years, and bought a flex shaft to do detail work but the flex shaft broke shortly after getting it. That is why I’m getting this little dremel stylus, just for detail work, and I’ll use my 3000 for everything else.
Perfectly well explained and I second your comments about the lack of power of this tool but you're right, it excels at what it's designed to do which is engraving and small bit drilling. I just bought a RYOBI ONE+ 18V Brushless Rotary Tool which resembles a Foredom rotary tool. It does good precision work like the Dremel Stylo+ but with 18 volts of power. The hand tool is a little bit bigger and heavier but still easy to work with. Thanks for the video.
Thanks :) I didn't even know ryobi had a roary tool. I have to get my hands on it someday. If it is simalar too the stylo+ but with more power it must be good. Would you recommend it? Can you use a little bit of pressure before the motor stops?
@@rotarycrafts8760 Well, it's a fairly new tool and the hand piece is a little bit larger than the Stylo+ and you are working with a flexible shaft as well but I would recommend it. I tried to cut a piece of plastic with the Stylo+ and it bogged down repeatedly but the RYOBI has a lot more power. It's called the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Brushless Rotary Tool and I bought it from Home Depot in a kit with 3 batteries for $199 on October 30, 2022.
Think motor coil and small package. You shouldn't think of it as for cuting stock. Or chunk removal. Get a knock-off Brand Fordom flex shaft fr around $120-140.00. Then get this one. For control and detail ... .. . a leash holds you back, this one is like holding a pen. When painting you have a wash brush wide and perhaps a riger brush for details.
I'm split. On one hand I think this Dremel would be great, since I want to get it for miniature Building and I think with this one I could drill out gun Barrels and carve away Parts. On the other hand I don't know if it would be tedious with larger pieces... But on the other Hand precision is more important than speed, I guess
You could also get a larger and stronger model like the 3000 or 4000 and attach the flex shaft. It is almost as good for precision as this one (the thick cable can sometimes steer it a little bit), but you do not loose much power. + you can use the attachments with the larger dremels.
Best thing about it, is the small size. Worst thing, and a complete design fail are the placement of the lock and power buttons as pointed out. Push the wrong button every time l use it.
Thank you for the review, just by looking it struggling cutting plastic I knew this product is not going to be for me despite it looked very attractive the orientation to art and crafts, but im using way harder materials for that
Hi. Yeah, all bits that are meant for rotary tools will fit in this. As long as it has a 1/8" (3.2mm) shank or smaller. But the Stylo will not be effective with all bits, like for cutting metal and tougher jobs. The Stylo+ is very good with light work detail bits, like for example engraving glass, or sanding tight spots.
Hmm. I think it would be able to yes. But it's not the quickest. If it is just a couple of holes you are drilling it will be fine. But if you are going to do alot of hole drilling in copper sheet it might be worth getting a more powerful one. It could also good idea getting something like the workstation that turns your Dremel into a drillpress, this makes it much more pleasurable to drill and the drill bit will have less chance of breaking. (The workstation does not fit with the Stylo+ though)
Hi. It is the same tool.it is just sometimes sold with the keyless chuck included. You can buy the keyless chuck separately, the product number is 4486.
@@rotarycrafts8760 Hey. Get this, I had also emailed Dremel about this the same time I messaged you , AND their response was it’s NOT compatible. I thought it was funny because you had it on yours and I see that they sell it online with the chuck already on the Stylo. I’m so confused by their response. And I just bought a new one with the chuck already attached. 😂😂
Hey. First of all, thanks for the reply. Are you looking for a bit guide in generall ( how to use all the bits included in the kit). Or more specifically the sanding bits? I can make a video on any of the topics
@@rotarycrafts8760 OMG Wow you’re fast! I’ve never used a Dremel before. I have no collection of attachments. The user manual is very thick and confusing. It doesn’t show you how to attach the sanding wheels. Mine are hallow and I can’t figure out how to secure them to the tool. I’m worried I might have some pieces missing. There are lots of demo vids on TH-cam but none starting from scratch on loading the pieces. I don’t want to break the tool, use it incorrectly or injure myself. Thanks for any info.
@@madonnahomagedolls Hehe. I need to know what people need of me I have videos on how to change bits in general, and also how to use the sanding drums. But i suppose i could make a bit guide, to make the uses of the bits clear :)
@@madonnahomagedolls and dont worry about getting started bro. A dremel is confusing at first. The first time i used it if forgot to secure the bit, and it came shooting at me while in rotation :p
Hey I bought this one last week and have a lots of problems with it … I wanted to cut thin sheet steel but it overheads so quick and stops every time when holding down on the material a few seconds … This tool is really annoying. Do you know a better option, but with the same size ? 😄
Hi. For cutting steel you would want something more powerful. I use the Dremel 4000 with the flex shaft attachment when cutting metal. This allows you more power, while the hand piece is still quite small. It will be able to cut through thin metal sheets, screws, bolts and so on without stopping that easy. And if that is not powerful enough, you should just get an angle grinder :)
Yeah. I believe the stylo could be used for that. As long as it is just for surface engraving. But if you wanna remove some steel with in your engravings and cut some grooves you would need something more powerful like the Dremel 4000 with a flexshaft. Dremel Stylo has good rpms but not alot of torque.
Thank you very much and I had a tool like that that was designed that way and I agree with you it's a stupid design but I bought two from Amazon that weren't Dremel brand and they both broke I'm tired of wasting money
Hehe. If you overlook the design of the power button of the stylo+, it is still great for tasks like engraving glass and such. The movement of the tool is insane, you can do details like no other tool. It gets a little hot with prolonged use tho, but that is about it.
I bought one and use it more than my full size one. Its a great as heck tool that does just about all you want done. Get one its a hell of a tool to have. Great video!!
Agreed. I don't regret buying it one bit.
One of the best reviews I've seen. Just perfect
Thank you :)
Imagine a cord-less tool with that size 🥰
Thank you for the review
Remember! With those rotatory tools you work with the speed, not with streng

You should unplug it when changing the bits. You made a nice review of the tool.
Thanks for the good review. Quick and to the point!
Thanks :)
Just the information I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks :)
That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks!
This is exactly what I'm looking for. I need something small to remove anodization from titanium.
Did it work well at removing the Anodization?
@@rotarycrafts8760 idk, never purchased it. I found another solution.

What chuck and collet do you recommend? I couldn’t make it out. I can’t figure out how to use my small drill bits with this thing. Help?
I really liked your review!!
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for watching.
I’m new to Dremel and just got a Stylo plus. Are all Dremel bits universal for all Dremel?

Thanks for the vid, saved me some money today, will buy a stronger version.
Are there two different models? One with the keyless chuck and one with the wrench. Or can you add on the keyless chuck? Thanks

I'm pretty sure the Stylo+ 2050 is the same tool if you get it with a keyless chuck or without. What was the response from Dremel?
@@rotarycrafts8760 Just that the keyless chuck wasn’t compatible with it. Maybe they differ between countries and how they’re made. Not sure.
Great vid but mine came with a bunch of bits and I’d like a vid for beginners telling them how to load it with the right pieces for wood sanding etc

Very good thank you.
Is there a more powerful tool in this size? I cannot find any… :(
I don't think so, most of the smaller ones don't really have that much power. A normal Dremel with a flex shaft is the best option there I think.
Thanks
No Problem :)
Thank you
Is it good for polish stones and gems.???
It will do a fair job I think. But most of the people I have seen polishing stones and gems have been using a full size model like the 3000 or 4000.

Yep. The chuck closes all the way to 0mm. I've used tiny drill bits with it.
