Love it, works great

I'm extremely pleased with it: it does just what I wanted, from small repairs to model making.(At the price you pay I think they could have added a few more things to use, such as circular saw, diamond drill bits, etc. A bit parsimonious!)The case is sturdy and well constructed; and all the different accessories, plus the drill itself, are embedded in foam cut-outs so they don't rattle around.The pull-out accessory draw contains several really useful add-ons, and automatically locks once the lid is closed.It would be useful if Dremel included a guide as to what is used for what (particularly the grinding stones -- and it's difficult to find online. They appear to assume you know. (I don't!)But overall, a very good purchase.

This was bought to replace my old corded Dremel which is over 20 years old, but still works fine, this new cordless version is excellent with two battery packs you can keep going for ages, so far I've sanded all the old paint off the bathroom door, the wife was amazed that it removed it back to the wood, and I'm using the straight edge guide to cut bathroom wall panels, to fit in narrow spaces to finish off the job, so far I'm delighted with the product, worth every penny!

I do a lot of making and repairing, and have managed so far to do without a multi-tool. Whilst there are cheaper options available, I decided to go for the Dremel, as it's synonymous with this kind of tool. The kit I bought comes in a cheap plastic formed case, but has a load of attachments.Been very happy with it so far, and the extra power of the unit I bought has come in handy for light metalwork as well as plastics.Battery life is good, and the unit, whilst been a bit on the large side, is reasonably well balanced.

Very pleased so far with the 8220, seems powerful enough for standard use. For extended jobs I'd probably stick with a 3000. Going from 300/3000, I find the separate on-off switch from speed selection is very nice too.I went for the 45 piece kit partly because of a deal, partly because it included the LED light, and I couldn't source this on its own anywhere. Aaaaand... its utter crap. A really bad design, reminds me of how things used to be designed in the pre-internet days before reviews encouraged 'ease of use' improvements.This LED light is bad, and the main reason for my review. It's held together by a single screw held in by a washer. If this screw is tight, the on-off switch is often too stiff to move. If the screw isn't too tight the light sometimes goes off when the dremel is in use, or if the end cap is tight. The on-off switch is activated by a tatty blue plastic slider that latches roughly onto a toggle switch, and is quite hard to line up when reassembling. When unscrewing the cover (required to replace batteries) the screw pushes the main light away from the cover, leaving the screw extended in the cover. It should be unwound (as picture) to stand any chance of lining the slider up with the switch and switch hole.The battery compartment is just the gap between the board and a contact, and I think it is this which lets one battery move when the screw is too tight and makes the light fail. There is nothing to hold the batteries in place except the cover that seems to flex sometimes. The whole design is just tenth rate.The other tools are well known to me and mostly work very well, loses a star for the horrendous light.

Got loads of bits and pieces (you can buy more addons) and works very well.

Extremely versatile tool that has many uses. Everyone should have one. Very nice case that it comes in too. Also no wires thanks to it being battery powered which makes it so easy and much safer to use. Still packs a punch too. You might think that a battery operated tool wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as mains operated. But don't be fooled. This tool can really cut the mustard

So useful with any type of intricate work. Careful handling, patience and a light touch are essential to avoid breaking any tools. The kit has pretty much everything to start working, polished my motorcycle exhaust manifold, cut pipes, plastic, tiles, screws and cut numerous holes in plastic, wood and metal. With two batteries its working time is extended, charging one while using the other. Highly recommend as you find uses more than what you expected.
