Dremel Tools

[Mack The Knife]

This is one purchase I have been putting off for quite some time now but would like to get one now.

Does anyone use the cordless Dremel Li-Ion tool? If so, I would like your feed back on this.

Actually, I would appreciate feedback on any of their models.

Also, grateful if you could recommend a reliable online store whose prices are competitive.

Thanks.

Hi Rusty,

I don't have the Dremel brand nor a cordless one but I do have a Black and Decker RTX which is a rotary tool similar to a Dremel. I've used it for quite a few projects and I think its a must have for any tool-guy. I don't have much experience with the cordless rotary tools but I feel that the corded ones will have an advantage because of continous power supply. Especially in the case of rotary tools where you can get a "Flex-Shaft" and it'll be pretty handy then.

All the best.

Mack The Knife,

I'd recommend a corded version first as well. The only advantage the cordless one has, is if you are away from power. YOu can always get the cordless one second, and then you'll have a backup when the battery goes flat.

One of the handiest accessories for these is the little cut-off wheels, make sure you get an extra jar of them as they are as fragile as they are handy! The cordless ones do have value if you need to cut chain or rebar at the edge of a field somewhere.

At anyt rate, that is my 2 cents worth.

Thanks, Sharief and Mark.

Mark, what are cut-off wheels?

Cut-off wheels or cutting wheels are thin disks that are used in Dremel or other rotary tools to cut thru stuff. Its a fine file on wheels if you will, to cut stuff up real fast. My fav is to cut screw heads into broken or worn off screw heads, I hope you know what I mean. Here's dremels site to give you an idea.
