Remember how cool we all thought that first Dremel was? We're reliving the feeling with this one: lighter, faster, smarter, better, and stronger. The main improvement over the last generation is the battery source: lithium-ion. There are so many reasons to applaud. Lithium holds its charge up to six times longer in storage than nickel-cadmium batteries, so it's ready when you are. Remember the disappointment when you were ready and your battery was low? That won't happen with this one. It's got a battery fuel gauge that tells you how much life is left before a recharge, so you won't be caught without your Dremel, and if you choose to keep it on its charger, you won't cause memory and shorten the charge capacity. It's small, it's light, it's comfortable and maneuverable; it's everything the corded models are, but without the cord. We love it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Founded in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin, Dremel is the industry leader in rotary tools. The company owes its success to the inventive genius of its founder and namesake, Albert J. Dremel. In his lifetime, Mr. Dremel owned 55 patents on a wide range of products from electric erasers to a gas-powered rotary lawn mower. His most famous and important invention was a high-speed rotary tool, dubbed the Dremel Moto-Tool. Compact, lightweight, and perfect for a wide range of jobs, the rotary tool was an immediate hit with hobbyists and eventually became accepted as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Today, the Dremel name remains synonymous with utility, durability, and innovation. What's in the Box

 Great tool for many jobs July 28, 2010
Emmit Fitts Humes (Miami, FL)
The Dremel is a terrific tool to keep handy. This specific model has all the power you need in a cordless Dremel. It easy handled all the tasks I have asked it to do, including cutting plywood with an attachment I purchased separately.
DREMEL 8000-03 10.8-V CORDLESS July 27, 2010
Calvin H. Long (HI , USA)
Have not use this tool much since it's a spare unit but it feels solid and strong enough to handle minor tasks ,especially when you're away from AC outlet ! My main concern is about the Lithium Ion battery can be able to hold the charge while in storage ! With the sale price and most of positive reviews before purchase ,i am happy with the unit !
Maybe one of the best purchases I have ever made July 23, 2010

I could go on an on and on about how much I love my Lithium Dremel. It just sits in the closet all charged up for whenever I need it and does all sorts of stuff. I won't go into the stuff that others have probably already said about this device, but I would recommend that people (particularly apartment dwellers) purchase the Lithium powered one with an extra battery. Just keep it charged up and you will use it for random little things all the time. Oh and its really fun to use too...just wear your safety glasses!
Everyone has their own experience July 22, 2010

First off, everyone will have their own experience with this device, so I wanted to make it perfectly clear that I am not agreeing or disagreeing with any of the other reviewers. In my experience with the Dremel 8000-03 10.8v model, I have had nothing but success with it. I use it for many various jobs around the house (i.e. trimming the dog's nails, polishing brass, drilling pilot holes, removing stubborn nails or screws, woodworking projects, etc). While I think this device is perfect for these types of jobs, I do not see it being durable enough or built for cutting massive sheets of drywall, sanding an entire table all at once, and so on. It has a great amount of speed and power and so many attachments you just don't even know what all this thing can do. I do agree with one thing another reviewer that said, which is that some of the attachments are a mystery. They are color-coded in the instruction manual as to their function (i.e. cutting, sanding, etc) but it does not tell you what specifically you would use some of them for or what materials they will are sufficient to be used on. I have found that going to purchase attachments and bits for it at the store or on each individual Amazon product page, you can learn a little bit more specifically what its intended use is. The battery life is average, lasting a combined run time of about one hour, which should be sufficient for most jobs. If it runs out, you can recharge it in about two hours based on my experience.
If you are looking for a useful and multi-purpose power tool that will do just about any strange or small task you can think of, but are not going to rely on it to be your only power tool used for a job, then I would definitely recommend purchasing this unit. If you need it for large jobs or are going to use it continuously for long periods of time, you may want to consider a corded unit. Hope this review was neutral enough to provide enough information to make an informed purchasing decision. Thanks!

This Dremel set works extremely well, and only costs 70% of the full retail price. It's great when you can get the same product at a better price. Very convenient tool, and the cordless feature is a must!
