What'S up, everybody welcome back to Mike's tool reviews and I'm going to do a review of this Dremel that I've had for probably six or seven years now, so I feel it's uh, it's ripe for a reviewing. So let me show to you this. This is the dremel 8 2 to 0. This is 12 volt. It goes from, I think, five thousand to thirty three thousand rpm, which out of the entire Dremel line the only this is the only cordless one that goes to thirty three thousand and I believe, they're corded versions. 33 is the max. So this is just as powerful as the corded version. I bought the cordless because I wanted to use it at work and I really didn't for something so small and they offered it in a cordless version. I didn't want to have to be dragging extension cord out to use this for five seconds, because I find myself only using this for really short periods of time. I'Ve never killed this battery in one project. It'S just a little cut and a little shaving and and then that's it so the battery, somehow something I was concerned about this battery will last you for an entire project. Most of the time I don't know everybody does something different with these, but for what I do it, it will last for a whole project. It comes with a hanging hook, so you can get that wand, flexible, wand attachment. So you can just hang this up and then have your wand to do your detail, work. Here'S the speed selector, which it is not the on/off, is not integrated into this. On/Off is up here and when you turn it on, as you can see, it gives you the battery indicator. That'S the only way you can find out where your battery is at is, if you turn it on or off, but that's its lowest speed, pretty damn low. I think it's like 5,000 rpm and goes all the way up to 33,000, which is plenty fast enough. I they usually run this thing full blast all the time it's rare than I ever want to turn it down, but that's kind of how I am with everything. Everything'S on high all the time I was worried when I first bought this five six years ago. I was worried that you know I wasn't going to use it often enough and by the time that I ended up killing this battery, which it is a insert twelve volt max lithium ion that thing we're going to make it anymore, because I believe they just started With the cordless one sort started with the lithium ion and they had changed over their whole battery system, and I was you know. I just worried like a lot of other power tool. Company x' will just nix battery line and force you to go with something new, but they haven't done that. Yet you can still buy these batteries. You can buy the official dremel batteries for like 40 bucks kind of expensive, but you can buy on Amazon and I've had good luck with these the knockoff batteries. Some other brand makes a compatible battery. I bought those for the milwaukee's and my Dewalt before and had pretty good luck with them so far, and so, even if they did discontinue that there are these Chinese companies that are making you know compatible batteries for the stuff. If your brand doesn't support it anymore, cool feature about this one: is it has this easy Chuck on the top? So this is your your Chuck lock see it's got detents you hit that and then this is shaped to hold on to it and then you've got enough of a gripping surface. You can turn it by hand. I know back in the day, you've all lost this little bastard and then you're stuck putting some pliers on here or whatever, and this is a soft aluminum and I've seen a bunch of people with these, and this is just rounded right to [ __ ] around. So it's not going to happen with this because you have the tool built on you. Don'T even have to carry this little thing with you, it's on the tool other than that mean the grips really nice. You know you can you can even hold it kind of like a pencil if you have to hold it like this, it's got a good round shape. Nothing really sticks off. So, no matter, no matter how you got to hold it, it's comfortable to hold, and then you have your aunt like that. You have your on/off switch up here, which is in a convenient spot and your speed control down here so you're, not as likely to accidentally hit that while you're using it. The kit comes with the charger one battery and I think maybe not. I thought there was space for another battery in the case yeah you can. If you bought an extra battery, you could fit it in the case it looks just like your Milwaukie a lot of the other 12-volt batteries. 318. 650 s. So, even if you, if you're savvy enough, you can even repair this if you want, but let me just buy the I was just buy a replacement, so you have a place for your charger. It'S just kind of stuffed cords down inside the case like that. I believe it came with this guide. It goes on the end for when you're, using these horizontal cutting bits, that's something I use it a lot for, if I have to add and a receptacle to a counter, you know a counter top or the side of a cabinets. Anything like that you, this is just plunge cut and just follow your line, especially if you're dealing with some plaster plaster is a nightmare to cover the drywall saw also something else I really like. I don't remember. This came with your not comes with this disc system. You pull this little collar down, so I do this without it on there and you put your disco on come on. I never have a problem with this that [, __ ] doesn't fit, and I've had that I've had. I have had that issue where the hole in the disc isn't cut accurately enough for it to fit through, and you got to kind of force it. I know this one works, so you turn the disc 90 degrees fits through. There turn it and it snaps in place the beauty of this system other than it being really easy, and a quick change is that if you put a little too much torque yeah my hands are filthy. I'Ve been working on the shed all day. If you put too much to work on it, this will give and let the disc kind of move and wobble as to where that's not the case. With the old style.
visit our website put a little twerk on that it's just going to snap they're kind of brittle. So I really like - I was kind of skeptical about it at first, but I really, I won't probably never go back to the screw type. In fact this is, I believe, the one that came with it and I've never even used it. That'S just kind of like a backup, that's about it! For that part, it comes with this little this little case. You know I've added my own stuff to it, an extra collar, a little sanding discs. I like these a lot these - I don't remember seeing these before, but this is the EZ lock grinding wheel just a little. It looks just like your disc that you would put on your angle grinder, but it's a little tiny one and I've used this to sharpen things and smooth things out comes with these little buffing wheels. I don't really get too much use out of them. I'Ll really give a [ __ ]. What things look like you know your basic dremel kit. I'Ve never been one to go out and buy big tips. You know the big $ 30 kit that comes with a bunch of it. You know everything I just buy. What I need when I need it every time I see one of those kits is there's a bunch of extra [, __ ] in there that I know I'm never going to use so I just buy whatever I need and so far been able to fit. Just about everything I need in here and nine times out of ten, that's what I'm doing, I'm cutting something with it, cutting a piece of metal or whatever where's that you know I bought. I did buy this. This is good to have you, take this little collar off and replace it with this, and this is just a little shield, because sometimes you can't always direct the sparks away from you and even if you're wearing safety glasses, it's still good still, they still sting you For your face, when you take some sparks to the face, so it's good to get one of those instructions come up in here. You know your standard standard case there's little spots, for they look a little, so you can put a right angle attachment an extra collar. A couple differ kind of just you know little spaces, dad all your stuff different, Kaulitz, different sized ones for different sized bits. So all in all, i freaking love this thing. I don't know how i could live without it. I'M really glad that I'm up the cordless. It'S just for the way that I use this and you know two three five-minute intervals. Cordless is the way to go, because you can just grab it no plug and just go, especially when I'm using it at work. Like I said, chances are you're not going to be working around an outlet where the electricity is going to be all so for an electrician that uses you know a dremel once in a while get the cordless one. I'Ve been really impressed with it. Batteries kicked ass. The whole time I've had, I leave it: half charged fully charged - probably breaking lithium, ion rules with it, but it's kicked ass the whole time. So I'm going to wrap this up this. This gets my ringing endorsement to thumbs up to Dremel eight to 2-0. They do still sell this. I looked it up on Amazon, it's like 85 86 bucks. It'S got like four hundred five star reviews, so you cannot go wrong with this.
content know Milwaukee makes one and I got everybody makes one for years. Dremel was the only way to go, but I still think it's the only way to go. They'Re the ones have been doing it, the longest, the Dremel tools are out and, I believe, the 60s or 70s. So, if you're looking to get one, I suggest this one. One more thing they do make an 8 volt line, they're just not as powerful. So if you want corded power and a cordless cordless tool, the 8 2 2 0 is the one to get alright. As always, thanks for watching
