Anyone use Blue Hawks rotary tool?
Happen to notice in the paper that Lowes is selling a rotary tool with accessories for 60% off. The company is Blue Hawk, never heard of them and reviews are scarce. Has anyone used this particular brand before?

Blue Hawk is the Lowe's Store brand of low price economy tools. They have Kobalt as their other brand of tools. I would pick it up, as I love lowe's store brand stuff. Good quality (albeit chinese-made most of the time) stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if it were something I needed to replace currently.

Can't speak for Blue Hawk, but I got a No-Namo brand set from Big Lots for really cheap. The tool itself was garbage - wobbly and close to no power at all.
But (and it's a big but!) what made it worthwhile was all the accessories that came with it: diamond coated bits, carbide bits, cut-off wheels, polishing wheels and compound, several collets and bunches of grinding bits of different grits. The "extras" were definitely worth several times what I paid for it.
