8250-5 12V Lithium-Ion Variable Speed Cordless Rotary Tool with Brushless Motor - 5 Rotary Tool Accessories, 3Ah Battery, Charger, and Tool Bag

Just what I wanted. I have the cordless tool mounted in a table vise with tool holder option and a flex shaft attached. It works perfect for carving a wood duck at my workstation. Great power, long lasting battery, and Dremel quality. What more does one need!

Very nice tool to have for anyone that does maintenance work in housing. Battery life is great, and adjustable speed is very nice. Good tool to have in the bag, at a reasonable price. Add a $15 bit kit from Harbor Freight, and this tool becomes incredibly handy.

This is an amazing tool. The last Dremel tool I bought has a cord and the motor has brushes. I still have it, but this one with the brushless motor works so much better and is more powerful. It runs so smooth and is easy to use being cordless. I'll keep my old one but I am happy that I finally decided to get a cordless, brushless model.

I used the same Craftsman rotary tool for 30+ years and went through several sets of brushes to keep it going. It was a good tool but I wanted an upgrade to latest technology. This new cordless, brushless Dremel is sweet. Immediate stop with off switch (the old tool had to spin down to a stop), the nose cap has an integrated wrench for the collet (no need for that little wrench to change bits), it maintains its speed even with heavy pressure (the old tool would slow down and stall under pressure). And of course the obvious, no cord and no more replacing brushes is a plus. It's bigger and heavier then the corded one, but that is what a battery does to it, its a trade-off. But, I was able to use it for some cutting and sanding without too much fatigue in the fingers, and didn't bother my wrist at all. So will this new one last 30+ years? All I did to the old one is replace brushes three times at $3 each set. Will this battery last 30 years? Will a new battery cost more than $3? Will they still make this model battery? The old one was just a motor and a simple variable speed control circuit. The new one has and electronic speed controller to generate the rotating magnetic field for brushless operation. How is that electronic speed controller going to hold up over time, or will I need to change out a circuit board in the future? But the model 8250 has a limited lifetime warranty so that's good. I'm probably comparing apples to oranges, but it is interesting to think about. Definitely a good upgrade.

Bought this to bore out existing holes to bigger sizes and found while it isn't super effective at that with the included accessories, I have found many uses for it since. I think the included accessories make it a good value for the money. Convenient and cordless, well made, comfortable in hand.

Powerful battery version of the venerable Dremel high speed rotary tool. I used this where using my 120V Dremel was inconvenient to use. I have a full set of tools etc. to use with the Dremel as the ones provided with this battery driven tool are minimal. Pros: 1. Well made. 2. Provides same facilities as the 120 V tool (but does not fit the vertical drill stand). 3. Batteries provide a reasonable life. 4. Easy to use. 5. Nice case with minimal starting tool set. 6. Batteries charge quickly. Cons: 1. Heavy and bulky when compared to the 120 V tool. 2. Minimal tools provided with the tool if you are new to Dremel. 3. Speed control does not go from 0 rpm, once powered on the tool is running at reduced revs. Summary: Recommended with the proviso that this is rather large and heavy and not as easy to use on small projects.

Fantastic tool. Everyone needs of these. So many different uses. Plenty of speed and works really well for me. I’d recommend.

A nice cordless dremel, already getting good use. Charges quickly enough, and the charge outlasts my endurance working on carving and grinding projects.
