Cordless Dremel

This is a great product. It is much better than my old cordless Dremel, mostly due to the Lithium Ion battery & smaller size. I would advise anyone looking for a tool like this to buy one of this model.

Dremel 8000

I have a electrical Dremel tool I've had for years but wanted something battery operated to give me more freedom and portability when using the tool. The new 8000 has given me that. The 2- Lithion Ion batteries provide enough battery power to do any job at hand. The 8000 has lived up to Dremels long reputation of quality and inovative products.

Works well but needs improvement

I like others have used a Dremel for many years and the thought of a decent cordless model sounded great. Keep in mind this is cordless and does need to be recharged. Battery lasts about an hour on average use. I like the power of the 10.8 unlike the smaller less volt models which just didnt seem up to speed. Like others though I am on my third one so far in just over a year. The variable speed control has locked on the previous two at high speed. Any type of strain and the tool seems to overheat and short something out causing the variable speed to be useless and therefor the tool. Something is not right about the electroincs inside the tool and I have used my power model for years with out this problem. Cheap parts? At $70.00 bucks I think it could have a variable speed that is a little better designed. Make sure you save your receipt, the cordless model although usefull will neeed service sooner or later. Luckily it has a two year warranty I just wish it didnt need it, or Dremel would find a fix for this problem.

Dremel tool dies in 5 months!

I've owned several Dremel grinding tools in the past. In May 2009 I purchased this one. Although the battery is larger, it seems less powerful than my old model. As of October 2009, only 5 months later, the battery is completely dead and the charger no longer works to recharge it. It is unclear whether the charger or the battery is defective, but something is definitely not right. I am disappointed with the performance of this model and have contacted Dremel asking about a replacement. No word as to what they'll do yet.Dremel 8000-03 10.8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool

Model 800 Broke After Warranty Expired - Won't Charge

Bought at Home Depot on 10-17-06 for $69.99 + Tax. Worked OK, but did have the annoying battery life and shut-off/restart problems others write about. I was still happy with it until I pulled it out to use it this year. I turned the unit to on, but nothing happened. So, I tried to recharge the battery. Still nothing. Don't know if it's the charger or the battery. So, it's dead after 3 years with very little use in the past 12 months. I was considering the Model 8000 as a replacement, since it's the 10.8 V unit. Looks like I could use that battery for mine, if needed. But, I've read so many bad reviews on this site that I think I'll pass. May go with a corded one the next time. For now, I don't have a project that requires this. It was fun to use with my son on his pinewood derby car. Found other uses, too, but a corded one would have worked fine.
