Great little tool
This is a powerful little tool with multiple speed selections. It is not variable speed, you have to select the rpmâs you want. This was my first time using the Dremel tool and I needed to cut off a large bolt holding a pulley on a lawn tractor. It took a metal cutting blade and the highest speed but it got the job done. There are many different heads available for the tool but not included in this package Iâm looking forward to seeing just how versatile this tool can be. The battery is rechargeable so there is no cord to get in the way and it seems to last a good while. Use all safety precautions because it would be very easy to accidentally injure yourself if not careful. My hands are small so I was more comfortable using both hands on the tool for cutting metal. I think it is a good choice.

Dremel doesnât disappoint
Love this set. Like any of the other dremel products Iâve had they are reliable rotary tools that can get many jobs done from cutting, carving and sanding. My only complaint if it even is one is itâs a little bulkier than previous owned models of dremel Iâve used. However even with the extra bulk itâs still not too heavy and has a pretty good balance when you grip it. Also itâs cordless which just makes everything a breeze.

Very High-quality tool, everything you’d expect from a Dremel.
There’s a reason the name brand is synonymous for the rotary tool, they make first class rugged quality tools that are the best at what they do. The device is easy to use, switching out tools is intuitive and simple. The battery life is surprising for its small size and the power output this Dremel is capable of. I would stipulate that this is not a beginner Dremel, you’ve got to really know how to use a rotary tool already for this, it does not come with labels or instructions for the different tools. I would personally also like to have seen more cutting discs included and some other grinding and sanding heads as the selection is fairly basic, you should plan to purchase the additional tool set with this. That being said, it made short work of the galvanized steel aircraft latch I needed to alter and later in the day I was able to use one of the cutting disks to alter some Warhammer models. The tool isn’t too heavy and can be used easily for detail work, however it is a bit long and bulky if you need to get in a really small space. It is far easier to use than a corded version, however. Overall, I would highly recommend this tool for nearly any application, you really do not need a more powerful Dremel unless you are planning on a long-term professional jobsite with a really high-power demand.

Charger Indicator Light Doesn’t Work
The tool itself is fine. The battery actually does charge, but the indicator light on the charger doesn’t work. I had an immediate need, so I didn’t want to send it back. I also don’t feel like messing with the warranty. I don’t care if the light doesn’t work as long as it charges. I’m sure I can pick up another charger for it somewhere.

Best product out there if youâre looking for an excellent and reasonably priced Dremel. So powerful! I use it in my ceramic pieces.It would have been nice if they included more bits. Had to order separately from another company.

Return Process is straight forward and effortless
This might be premature in writing this review. As soon as I received my dremel this afternoon I set up the charger and charged the battery until the blinking light stopped and the green light was a steady light. Inserted the battery into the butt of the dremel and pushed the on/off switch to on. Immediately three blinking green lights start to flash and after 1-2 seconds it goes off. I pushed the on/off switch again…Nothing. I pulled the battery out of the socket and reinserted, again… Nothing. Do I have a bad product? So that leaves me with 1-2 options now; return the product to Amazon or call Support. Guess I’ll sleep on it tonight and decide what to do….So right now, since it doesn’t turn on at all I really can’t rate it over 1 star.Second Day…tried the Dremel again this morning and NOTHING. I’m leaning toward returning the tool, in the meantime I’ll keep trying the On/Off Switch. Was looking forward to using the grinder on several projects. Guess it has to wait.Update: I returned the Dremel which is always an easy process for me. After I informed Amazon of the problem and completed the questionnaire they informed me another Dremel will be shipped and I have about 30 days to shipped the original item back. This is a big PLUS for me when the return process is above board and straight forward. I received the replacement and I made sure it worked. Yes, it is a disappointment whenever you receive a defective product, but I do understand minor problems as such do occur. In the meantime I’ll continue to purchase items from Amazon.

The best rotary tool!
Thereâs a reason you think of Dremel when you think of a rotary tool. The build quality is unmatched and is a great little bundle for the price!

Great tool to use. A bit bulky but 12v supply with 35000rpm still available its worth it. However keep in mind that Amazon US supplies at 110V so make sure when ordering. I am still looking for a replacement charger to get the battery charged it is so upsetting……

I was really on the fence about going cordless with this Dremel Tool but wow! Power to spare!Not only power but a fully charged battery lasts quite well.The advantages are obvious,* quickly unpack and use anywhere, no need for a plug-in* despite the battery (extra weight and girth), it still is comfortable to use* easily cuts off small bolts, plastics* a huge assortment of bits, grinding, polishing, cutting attachments available at most hardware stores* comes with a nice soft case, battery, and charger
