I have owned this Dremel tool since August 5, 2008 and have been very pleased with this unit. It is perfect for this quality tool. It is not the strongest and the battery may not last for a long time, but it serves the purpose intended. I am using this Dremel tool for toe nail care.
On low speed it is tolerable but still freaks the dogs out with the sound. My gosh, I thought this would be perfect for the dogs nails. Especially based on the reviews. I didn't expect a battery operated device to be so LOUD. This thing is so loud on full speed even I flinch.
Had to use a rubber band to tighten the connection in order to charge the battery. It took two weeks for Dremel to send UPS the label and another two weeks to send the replacement. They said to send it back. BUT, the battery and charger connection on the Dremel was not good. The merchant, Target.com, did great.
UPS would have a label to use to pick up the package. Received new product in a timely fashion. Info with the Dremel requested I go to them rather than the merchant with problems. I've had no time to use the Dremel as yet, since it only arrirved today, Sep 2, 2008. I emailed them.
This item was given to me as Christmas Gift in 2007. I had expected the same performance with this item but was greatly dissapointed. The tool works fine but the major complaint I have is that the battery will not stay in the tool. I have been using my corded dremel for the past ten years and finally worn it out.
I was looking for this to be a step up and instead found it to be a total waste of money. It all comes down to battery life, power delivered, and ergonomics. The batter when fully charged lasts about five minutes. As for ergonomics, the thing is heavy, cumbersome, and the battery has a way of coming disconnected during the few minutes it is able to deliver a barely acceptable charge. The power delivered is no where near what I get with my B&D Versapak rotary tool.
