Dremel: Corded, Cordless?? -
07.23.2008, 08:43 PM
I've been doing fine with my cordless 10.8v but I've heard a lot of complain about it (here locally). I thought I just check with you guys what kind to you own so I can get the am idea what the general public think.

I have a corded one but some of the guys have cordless ones they use at the track and they are very handy for that. What are the complains about the cordless ones?

I have owned both and the cordless one just lacks so much power, it won't stay consistant for very long. If you are just doing a quick cut on something the cordless is fine but any work that requires more than a minute of usage you will be dissapointed.

I use a corded one as well. I experienced the same loss in power when I used a cordless. I never have to take the dremel anywhere though so having to plug it in doesn't bother me at all.

corded with the flex shaft attachment always on ! I had a cordless one before they were lithium powered it blew bad so I stuck with corded. I just got a 259+ piece accessory pack from Harbor freight for $12.99 today LOL

I have both and I like the corded better. It's more powerful than the cordless.

It depends on how much dremeling you are going to do away from AC mains and how long your dremeling session will last. Usually, when I need to dremel, I'm at my workbench and the session is fairly long (long enough that I have to let it cool for a while), so I definitely need a corded one. A cordless won't have the power or longevity I need.

corded. but wait... if i can mod a dremel to run of a neu and FP 4-6s 5000mah we may have a winner. Any one at dremel listening?
Like others the cordless ones just lack in power and life. I have the XPR (the most expensive one) and it is the most expensive for a reason. I have the attachments for the saws and routers and it has yet to bog on anything i throw at it. I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.

Get the cordless one and strap a 3s 5000 pack to it!
Then at least the runtime will be A BIT better.

I just have a cheap one that have been using now for around 4 years. I was looking at getting a cordless one but couldn't see the point. Since I renovated the garage I have powerpoints everywhere and a could right next to my rc work bench

I nearly bought a cordless lithium power. I'm glad I didnt now reading all this. I though 'hell yeah, lithium power!' but then just bought the 400 series digital one. Hasn't failed me yet. though IMO isnt all that much better quality than my old home brand $20 dremel-like 'rotary tool'. I got a few attachements for the dremel (vice etc) that just seem poor quality. What use is a plastic vice?
