(More customer reviews)I had the old style Dremel which was red and black with a ni-cad battery. After 10 years of use I decided to buy something else rather than buy another replacement battery for it. The new dremels use better battery technology but I don't know what they were thinking about when it comes to ergonomics. All the new dremels have funky shapes and don't feel comfortable in my hand.
So I was excited when I found this dremel-clone in a cool looking neon green. It had smooth sides and looked like it would be nice to work with. I paid $52 (including tax) at our local Meijer store. I thought it was a nice touch to have so many accessories included at such a low price.
The problem came in with durability. The gears striped out within the first 3 minutes of use, and I was cutting a soft material. I used my old dremel to cut through hardened steel, and this thing crapped out cutting drywall on it's first use. Totally ground the gears out of it. I might have just got a defective unit, or maybe they all completely suck. I wasn't willing to try another unit, so I returned it for a refund.
The good news. After I purchased this lime (I would call it a lemon, but it's green, lol) Dremel came out with a new model. I believe it is called the 8200. It is similar to the old style without all the crazy contours on the side. I decided to pick one up at my local Menards. Just for comparison sake I cut some scrap drywall for 20 minutes straight. No problems whatsoever. Not only that, it made the cuts much more easily than this Kawasaki tool. I really hate calling it a tool, since it is more of a decoration.
I love the green Ryobi series of tools, I wish they made a rotaty tool.
