4.0 out of 5 stars
A Case for a soft Bag, 7 Dec 2010
This review is from: Dremel 8200 10.8V Cordless Rotary Tool plus 2 Attachments and 45 Accessories (DIY & Tools)
The 8200 Dremel cordless is high revving and powerful . The starter kit it comes with is useful and the click lock plus grinding wheels etc seem to work well. I would have liked to have been offered a spare battery with this so that I could work continuously with the Dremel and not stop when the battery gives up. having said this the battery life is good , it powers along until it suddenly runs out of juice---no half way house of ever decreasing revs until you grind to a halt , and the battery seems to get back up to full charge quickly. I rate this above the smaller cordless by miles for its power and also build quality, and this Dremel also being cordless makes it more versatile that its mains powered cousins. A professional piece of kit. The biggest question I have is the versatility of the box it comes in , this carries the original unit and the supplied accessories , but does not allow for many of the extra items you might expand the kit with, SO perhaps the bag would have been better that the hard case.

Mini Magic, 13 Feb 2011
This review is from: Dremel 8200 10.8V Cordless Rotary Tool plus 2 Attachments and 45 Accessories (DIY & Tools)
This is a really fantastic bit of kit. I don't know how many times I've thought "What did I do before I got this". It's so versatile with a wide variety of attachments that make it useful for many different applications. The cordless aspect really allows freedom & the battery life is quite good. I would however recommend an additional battery for the 'power user'. I bought some Silverline diamond coated fine blades which seen to cut through just about anything. I also bought the router attachment which works well...just buy a full sets of bits from Ebay...6 bits delivered from the USA for the price of 2-3 bits in th UK! It's so useful the temptation is to use it for heavy duty applications...don't. It's a fine bit of kit but don't expect it to do the work of a tool like a Fein Multimaster/Bosch Multitool/Cel Multipro..they do cross over...use a corded version of the mentioned tool for heavy work & finer work with the Dremel. My only other point would be to take care when working in confined spaces...I was doing some cutting work behind a back to wall toilet & was mindful that had the Dremel slipped it could 1/ have done some damage 2/ could have cut me quite badly as it doesn't have a trigger type switch...it's a shame it doesn't come with a trigger with a lock facility as IMO this would make it perfect & get it a 5 star rating.

Brilliant bit of kit, 28 Dec 2010

Very happy with the Dremel, loads of accessories, it holds charge well and is a powerful bit of kit. Also, the plastic box makes storage, and transporting much easier.
