Good Scoop
This scoop is casted as one piece, making the handle more durable as opposed to scoops with handles that are spot/tack welded to the scoop. The handle could be a little larger to accommodate those of us with big hands. I recommend this product.

Good & Reliable Classifier
Good & Reliable. I was concerned about whether or not a plastic classifier would last against the abuse of hard rock. It does and quite well. I have used it several times and see no need yet to replace it. Itbis still completely intact.

Highly Recommend
2 of 2 found this helpful I have used this tool for 2 years before writing this review. Its a great tool & I think its great in any household or lapidary shop. The pros outweight the cons. First the pros. PROS: outstanding versatility for a number of jobs. Polishing, carving, shaping, sanding, drilling or cutting? This is for you. Plenty of power. My toughest jobs with this tool have been cutting and drilling granite and other hard stone and with 2" & 3" non-Dremel diamond wheels & diamond core bits with water as heat eliminating lubricant. This tool can handle that and keep going. You can find a lot of accessories (ie cutting wheels, polishing wheels, etc) online that are not Dremel & they will work & save you money. CONS: The revolutions spin in a direction that are advantageous to a left handed person, meaning, if you are cutting or sanding right handed debris is directed back toward your face/body unless you are using the small shield adapter that you can affix (but then its hard to see your work). The tool eventually becomes pretty darn hot, so, take a coffee break now & then when you sense the motor getting hot. The tool has air intake and other spots where the dust you are creating from your project gets sucked into the internals of the tool. This is more of an issue when working indoors. I use a shop vac when cutting indoors to reduce dust or try to work outside using the breeze to drift dust/debris. You should use a dust mask and definitely use eye protection.
