A Decent Tool Under The Right Conditions [Posted on 2007-10-28]
There didn't seem to be any reviews of the Dremel tool on fake pumpkins, so here's my two cents. I purchased the Dremel Pumkin Carver after searching for a tool built for fine detail work on the increasingly popular fake foam pumpkins, and I was a little underwhelmed. Depending on what you want to do with it, the 1/8" cutter included with the tool was a little cumbersome and best suited for removal of large areas of the pumpkin. I went out to buy separate cutters to work more efficiently. The design makes it slightly difficult maneuver in tight spaces, and the low speed only causes the tool to bounce around the face of the pumpkin, so stick with high speed for better control. Plus, while not entirely unexpected, be prepared for a lot of dust if you want to go down this road. Not a bad tool, but in the end I've gone back to the X-Acto knife to carve the fake jack-o-lantern.

Good tool for fake pumpkins, especially for rounding the edges. Best with rechargable batteries, as you could go through a lot of regular ones otherwise. Excellent price for the product
Not what I expected [Posted on 2007-11-25]
This Pumpkin Carver should be called a "Pumpkin Skinner". It's great for patterns that call for you to skin (remove only the top layer instead of cutting all the way through) the pumpkin for a glowing effect. But I did not find it very effective for actual carving, even though I went and bought a carving bit (not included with Dremel). So: great for skinning, but only average, at best, for carving.
Overrated cordless tool [Posted on 2007-11-28]
This tool would work great for its original intent, moulding, minor sculpting, but other than that, it sucks. it over heats, drains batteries rapidly, and really doesnt like to carve pumpkins at all. the average pumpkin is b/t 1/2" and 1" in thickness, and the thicker the worse it works. i prob spent about $12 in batteries before i went and got my CORDED ROTO ZIP to finish the job. dont waste your time.
This is not a "carver" it is a "skinner" [Posted on 2007-12-06]
The product name is very misleading - it does NOT carve pumpkins. It has a little burr on the end of the tool that rotates around and skins the pumpkin. It is for the "glow effect" which sounds cool until you actually try it - then you end of with bits of pumkin splatter in a 3 foot radius of where you are skinning and it takes forever. I ended up using an exacto knife and razor to do most of the work and then used the Dremel for the fine tuning. Not really necessary unless you are super nitpicky (and if you already spent the money and can't return it because you opened it! LOL) The Swimway 30000 Pumpkin Power Carver at half the price is a better purchase.
