DEPSTECH Cordless Rotary Tool Kit, 8V 2.0Ah Rechargeable Battery, 30000RPM 5-Speed Multi Power Carving Tools, 127Pcs Accessories, Shield Attachment, Cutting/Drilling Guide for Handmade/DIY Creations

Il brand Depstech è attivo sul mercato da circa dieci anni, preferendo come piattaforma di commercio proprio quella di Amazon che mi ha inviato in prova gratuita il dispositivo in esame. Ho sempre preferito utilizzare strumenti a filo nella convinzione che quelli ricaricabili siano più carenti dal punto di vista prestazionale, ma le convinzioni sono fatte proprio per essere smentite e così è stato. Molto simile nella colorazione ad altro dispositivo commercializzato da una nota catena di distribuzione tedesca, attiva anche nel nostro paese, il mini trapano inizia a mostrare i muscoli proprio a partire dal peso (circa 140gr). Compatto, ben costruito, con presa facilitata da inserti in gomma che non amo particolarmente per l’appiccicosità sviluppata nel tempo (avrei preferito zone zigrinate in plastica tradizionale), ha espresso una potenza inaspettata (30000 rpm non sono bruscolini) e un’escursione al ribasso ben modulata che permette lavorazioni agevoli anche su materiali plastici, evitandone eccessive deformazioni. Importante la presenza del dispositivo di blocco motore qualora si incontri nella lavorazione un eventuale ostacolo che ne impedisca la rotazione. La regolazione della velocità, con step di 5000 giri al minuto, è demandata non al classico potenziometro a rotella, ma a due pulsanti, precisi e reattivi con indicatore di progressione su scala a 4 led. Il piccolo dado a pinza di chiusura (con quattro adattatori di diametro) presenta alla base un pulsante di blocco albero e minuscola chiave inglese fornita in dotazione, per facilitarne la chiusura (ma raramente sarà necessario l’utilizzo). Vastissima la quantità di accessori forniti per intaglio, incisione, fresatura, smerigliatura, lucidatura e levigatura ma mancano le piccole lame circolari per il taglio, che si possono tranquillamente comprare a parte. In aggiunta è fornito il piccolo semiscudo trasparente para polvere/schegge e la conchiglia di appoggio nera che coadiuva le forature, entrambi facilmente applicabili con inserto a vite da sostituirsi al piccolo cappuccio presente sulla punta. Sulla base l’ingresso USB type c, per la ricarica (molto veloce e notificata anche questa, da 4 led progressivi blu) e un robusto gancio quadrato rientrante, utilissimo in caso si volesse appenderlo. Le prestazioni iniziano un decremento attorno alla seconda tacca di autonomia per cui i lavori “pesanti” andrebbero eseguiti con la carica al massimo. Comoda la valigetta che contiene comodamente il tutto (tranne l’alimentatore non fornito), senza doversi scervellare ogni volta per trovare il corretto posizionamento. Presente all’apertura il classico odore di formaldeide asiatica presente in tutti gli attrezzi importati, ma che svanisce dopo qualche giorno di salubre areazione. Corretto il rapporto qualità/prezzo nella speranza che soprattutto la batteria (non sostituibile) regga bene i frequenti cicli di carica/scarica in dipendenza ovviamente della frequenza d’uso.

Having never had a rotary tool before, I wasn't actually sure what I was looking for but, as this tool was relatively inexpensive (and I'd read plenty of other reviews), I thought I'd try it as I could use it for various jobs I would normally do manually. The initial reason for purchasing the tool was that I wanted to reduce the length of a bolt on the locking mechanism of a toilet door in the house, as it was slightly too long and rattled when turned. I could have simply used a hacksaw, however I knew I'd need the tool for other tasks so wanted to test it out. As a general rule, I typically purchase corded tools. This is partly for the fact that you tend to get higher power ratings and stronger torque with corded versions but also that I'm not a tradesman and typically have power sockets nearby anyway. However, as this was relatively cheap and the reviews seemed good, I decided to go for the cordless version as USB-C charging was an added bonus for me. I have to say, the reviews I'd read were pretty accurate. It's German-made, feels fairly heavy duty / premium quality and looks similar to the style of Bosch or B&D tools (of old). The carry case itself is pretty sturdy and well made. Even the cardboard box that the case comes in feels premium! The variable speeds are functional and easy to operate and there is a selection of additional attachments - if somewhat basic / limited. It should be noted that there are no metal rotary saw blades included in the package, as this isn't aimed at heavy duty cutting. Though, with the attachments provided, it will cut through screws, nails etc. if it's used occasionally. The user manual has multiple languages and is fairly comprehensive though, to be fair, you'll probably figure out most functionality while using it - it's what you'd expect from a basic rotary tool. As stated, it's charged via a USB-C cable (provided) though I can't accurately comment on battery length or life as I haven't really put it through its paces yet or had it for long enough to understand if the battery has longevity. On initial findings though, it's pretty good. I've used it a fair bit (about an hour's total cutting time?) and it hasn't yet dropped one bar on the charge LED incidators or even got that warm, other than heat from my hands. The only criticism I have, as you might expect, is the lower end torque of the tool. For example, while I was attempting to cut through the 5x5mm metal locking bolt, it did struggle slightly, despite taking care with the pressure and the length of continued exposure I was applying to the cut. Ironically, I ended up hacksawing the final half as I didn't want to risk damaging the tool. However it should be noted that I think it probably would have been fine cutting all the way through and it did perform a fairly good cut on what it had achieved. Overall, a very nicely built, sturdy piece of kit. For the price (just under £40 when I bought it), I'd definitely recommend it.

I was looking for a cordless model after years of years of suffering corded limitations on rotary power tools. I do serious work with my Dremel collection and wasn't willing to take a risk on the cheaper, low-power models, which may be enough for some, but are lacking as a professional tool. I honestly couldn't wait to write a review for the DEPSTECH, within minutes the advantage became crystal clear. Perfectly balanced motor, you can barely feel it running, well balanced, and nice hard-rubber grip. Great stepwise speed control, charge state and speed indicator LEDs, gimbal lock. I have tried cutting, buffing, and engraving and it all works great. Probably an 18650 battery so don't expect more than a couple hours constant use without a recharge. Charger not included, get a high-capacity charger and you can cycle it in under 90 min. Great deal!
