wlnt 2 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Have you been waiting to buy a Dremmel, but cost too high. Grizzley's has "their cordless dremmel" for $26.95 Here is their pitch, "Combine the usefulness of a Mini Grinder with the convenience of no cords and you've got the ultimate in versatility. Everything you need in a handy carrying case including a variable speed 5,000-25,000 RPM, 9.6 volt Mini Grinder, charger, interchangeable flashlight base, and huge assortment of buffs, sanding discs and drums, grinding stones, mandrels, drill bits, wrench and spare collet. Collet size is 1/8".

I would definitely go with a corded one... a WHOLE lot more power and torque and you don't have to worry about running the battery down. I already had a cordless one and that was the problem with trying to use it...battery would get weak and it made using it really rough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a corded model myself. You are right about the versatility.... way too many uses for a cordless not to have one, but for doing conversions, you need the power and stamina of a corded. If people shop around, they can have both for less than the name brand Dremel. Thanks for the heads up on the Grizzly cordless...people need a good cordless for other chores. Thanks for info.

VladTepes 160 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 id stick with corded imo.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Have a cordless Dremmel that was given to me as a gift. Its nice but its not for a whole lot or heavy use. I picked up a Black and Decker for $30 and its in a whole different class. Go with the cord Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vbrtrmn 167 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I went through a battery on a cordless Dremel in under a year, though that was a a few back. I currently use a variable speed with flexible shaft, they cost more than the regular single speed, but you really get what you pay for with the types of work you can do. The flexible shaft is exceptionally nice, when you're working in a tight area or want to make precision cuts. Something like this: http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/To...id=3956-02#kits If you use a lot of cut-off wheels, you've got to check out the new EZ Lock ones, you don't need to mess around with the tiny screw and driver any more. http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/To....aspx?pid=EZ406 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mide 0 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I had purchased the same cordless Dremel for my conversion this weekend. It runs out of juice way too fast. I had to go down to wallyworld and get the 100 corded version to finish off the conversion. GL on the sale though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agias 0 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'd rather get a corded version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigsal 757 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Don't pay more than you have to guys.... come on... Harbor Freight has these for cheaper. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=92880 While it is a different brand and color, it is made in the same chinese factory and is exactly the same. Don't pay more than you have to guys.... come on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lakedweller 10 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Bought a couple of cordless screwdrivers from Harbor Freight and they were junk. Threw them out and bought a Black & Decker 6V Lithium and it was like night and day. Corded tools always last longer than cordless .......
