If you're thinking of giving this as a gift but hesitating on the questions, "But what will (s)he use it for." and "Does (s)he really need a Dremel tool." then go ahead and give it to them and see how much they love it. Anyone can use a Dremel tool. The two speeds of this model are plenty.
Again, to compare it to the Swiss Army Knife, the Dremel tool is an all around Wonder Tool that you will invent applications for. If you need to use your Dremel for more than, say, 30 minutes to do the harder work of cutting and rounding off edges you should either get one with better battery life or buy at least one extra battery for this one--or else of course you could get a corded one, but that's really best for people who are going to use their Dremels entirely in one spot, such as at a workbench. Like a Swiss Army Knife, it's so handy, of such high quality, and has so many varied uses that anyone who gets one will invent uses for it and/or it will be more useful than you could have possibly estimated.
I cut the steel, hollow legs off of something on the 20,000 RPM setting without much trouble--except for the battery life of course.The unit is light and easy to handle for even detailed work.The motor doesn't heat up the unit too much, so it doesn't become too hot to handle.CON: The only one con is the battery life. Whether you're a handy person in the workshop or might use it for some artistic purpose, this is a great item to have. I'm absolutely blown away by how well this thing works at cutting and grinding metal without having to buy a more expensive model.PRO: It comes equipt with every possible basic wheel and bit, with plenty more available to do everything from grind, cut, and polish various materials to etching glass.
I believe the next model up has a lithium battery and offers more speeds besides, but doesn't come with as many bits and wheels right out of the box the way this one does.BOTTOM LINE: Put plainly, this thing is so friggin awesome that you don't really need an excuse to get one. It's fun and handy, and one of the best all around tools you could ever get.This is an essential for any basic tool kit for any home.
Come to think of it, I think I'll give her a trim now. Good luck.
After I hold her down and bribe her with treats, the drill really gets the job done. My dog hates it, and actually runs when she sees it, but I love it.
I can chase her down. I have to be careful not to hold the drill on one spot too long or else her nail gets to hot.
I like the cordless feature. wish I had this when she was a puppy so that she'd be more used to it.
come out come out where ever you are roxygirl.
I bought this Dremel because it was recommended as a good dog nail trimmer for fearful dogs. I think it is because it is too loud. My older dog goes spastic at having her nails trimmed and I had hoped she would let me use this to trim her nails. She did not, as hard as I tried. I would not recommend this for any dog that has fears of nail trimming. This tool is not the answer.
I love the fact that this product has a recharger, instead of batteries. Product came quick and professionally. Thank you.
Have enjoyed this product so far. Have only used it for a small number of jobs at this point, but it seems to be well made and came with lots of attachments to choose from. Have used it to trim dog's nails as well. It takes a little getting used to (for the dog) but give the dogs some treats and take your time and they will get used to it after a few tries.
