  • The WEN 2305 rotary tool with flex shaft review and unboxing. I will also be doing a WEN 2305 first use during this video to see how well it performs. I think this WEN 2305 rotary tool kit with flex shaft is an excellent deal at only $20. The WEN 2305 variable speed rotary tool is great for engraving. Check out the link below to Amazon if you're interested in buying one for yourself. (affiliate link).

    Good Video. I have this model and another Wen model. Compared to the Dremel, they both are about half as strong. When I push into something, it spins slower to where I have to release the even a light pressure to get the wheel going back to speed. I tend to do a tapping motion with these when I need them to work a bit harder than just cleaning.

    Hello, I am looking at the WEN, and appreciate the video. For your flag woodwork...if you are doing several..I was wondering if you could get a steel template of stars made so all the sizes and shapes would be uniform. I would assume it would reduce the time you are having to put in on each one also. Take care.

    *I bought this same wen 2 years ago and it's been working fine. Bought the flexshaft designed for the wen, same one you have and mine crapped out in a few days. The driveshaft disconnected from the end that you screw into to the wen and so this thing is trash. Just picked up a real dremel flexshaft new for $15 on offerup and fitted it on the wen, works perfect just like a real dremel.*

    • @731Woodworks
      @731Woodworks  Před 3 lety

      Sorry about that. There is a wrench included. You have to stick the included pin in the hole to prevent spinning, then use the wrench to loosen the nut. (make sure it is unplugged when changing bits to prevent accidents)

      do you think using a straight edge chisel could clean up the stars to your liking? Basically use the tool to carve out everything else.

    This tool is sold as a Dremel on eBay, there are many listings all the same. This is the heading of the listings: Dremel MultiPro Grinder Rotary Tools 110V/220V Mini Drill Set 5 Variable Speed. According to Wikipedia Dremel is owned by Bosch since 1993. On the tool you can see the name WEN and Wen is listed for item specifics for brand. I am curious how they can get away with this? Apparently Bosch must not have the right to enforce their Dremel tradename.
