Great little tool
This is a powerful little tool with multiple speed selections. It is not variable speed, you have to select the rpm’s 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 I’m 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.

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.

Strong
This is a great tool. A little heavy for it size, but understandable due to the battery that is removable so you can charge it. But I would rather have this than the ones that you just plug in to charge. This one is great for its ability to change speeds. I think this is a great tool for its price.

Charger uses 120v instead of 240v
I’m from Malaysia, this model costs almost twice in country. I bought it thinking the charger would be universal. Boy was I wrong. Luckily the battery accepts bosch charger. Good tool but just beware. Don’t simply plug the charger it comes with into your 240v outlet. Fire hazard

finally a good cordless dremel
this cordless dremel is great the battery lasts a long time and charges fast. works better than the corded 1 i used to have which kept over heating and caught fire once while using it. it comes in a nice case that holds everything you need and then some making it easy to take to the jobs at hand I also got an extra battery which gives me hours of run time depending on how hard you work it

Amazing power
Love the fact that even as a person who’s never handled this kind of instrument before can operate this so easily. Lots of power and it gets the job done faster and effortlessly. Thanks to this tool that my miniature building that would’ve taken days to finish, was done in 2 days lol.

Larger than my old one
Will be good for those more heavy duty projects. My smaller one was good for longer work due to being lighter weight.

Bought it especially to cut bumper during hitch installation and is awesome! Very powerful and very lightweight. Very easy to maneuver around tight curves. I’m very impressed with this product.

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 bought this cordless rotary Dremel to replace my old one which was stolen. The first thing I noticed is this newer model seems well made (more solid than my old model). I’ve already used it a couple of times and it works great. The price wasn’t bad either. I’m very happy with it.
