Portable Micromotor with Lithium Ion Battery 

Interesting!

400 is dirt cheap for a jewelers micromotor... probably the cheapest one worth buying on the market.

sean rogan ...well in that case. Foredom is a good brand.

@@c.e.schlink9933 correction foredom does sell at a premium ,definitely not dirt cheap but an affordable kit relatively

Is suggest second hand or Asian hardware first before jumping into foredom . You might find you don't even like micromotors or the hand piece it comes with might not be favorable after getting the feel for it. Foredom handpieces can cost 400$ and I'd argue thats really the only part you should worry about if longevity isn't an issue . Foredom will always be better but you have to know exactly what you want or matter what it won't work for you

Motor brushes always depend on how hard you work and hours of usage.We suggest checking them after every 200 hours of usage and replacing if they are less than 2mm long. (they are small) You can use it while plugged into power outlet, but charging will not be as efficient while it is being used at the same time. You can replace the battery - we sell them. Right now the battery is $104. to replace. We have gotten very few orders for the batteries so I would assume that they hold up pretty well. We sell far more motor brushes than batteries (also less expensive) for these. People often like to have a spare pair of motor brushes just in case.

Portable, perfect for working at multiple stations, craft or outdoor events, demonstrations, or when power may not be available The K.1030 Micromotor with pocket-size control unit has built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery for portability. Control unit has a digital RPM display at the top and a dial on the front adjusts speed from 0-30,000 RPM. Run time is approximately 6-7 hours, depending on whether the micromotor is in continuous use in battery mode.

I agree the hand pc is only worth $60 and the power pack $100. The silicone stand $20
