It would have been nice to have it made from aluminum as they cost enough to do so and still make plenty of profit.
That said it works fine but I'm afraid if I tighten it to much to hold the right depth it will break.
I love dremel products and own several of them I've bought thru the years but have also been watching them decline in quality for some time now, then again I see this with many things anymore. I bought a cheap complete kit for $29 (wont say where) as a second or to take with me for away from home use.it has the power tool and several tips identical to dremels. Its works every bit as well as it more expensive counterpart, sometimes I don't even bother with the dremel.
Dremel might still have the edge but it gets smaller every time I buy another dremel part, being built in china there starting to be no better then units a third the price.
Was going to give it five stars if it were aluminum but for a small plastic part I feel I have to take one away.
Your paying more for the cutters then anything.
Dremel does still have the best cutting and carving bits at a premium price but you'll pay more for that either way for quailty.
