I have owned several Dremel tools in the past. I have gone trough 3 of the regular multi speed Dremel in the past 11 years. 2 months ago my boss upgraded my Dremel to the XPR with all the attachments. At first it sure seemed great but in the past 2 months I have already gone through 3 of them. They overheat way too quickly and melt down on the inside, start smoking, and lock up. When I pull the brush cover off, the brush mounts are melted away. I use the Dremel in my profession as a maintenance man / locksmith. it is one of my main tools that I use. I use it a lot and like it very much but the durability is not there with the XPR. I asked my boss to go back to the older style and hope it will last longer. He is trying to find a die grinder that may work also but they only take collets down to 1/4". For the $$ our company has spent on these Dremel we should get better quality.

Is it possible for Dremel to make a tool for heavy duty use that runs cooler and doesn't lock up when overheated?
