Customer Reviews

Good, but make sure you are buying it for the right reason
The Dremel 8000JD is a good tool. Light and easy to handle/manoeuvre, very high speed and with the usual multitude of Dremel accessories. Although it is fairly low torque, it has a highly-variable speed dial, which means you can match the tool to almost any job.

Two warnings for the novice:
1) Remember that when it says '60+' accessories, you are not actually getting 60 *different* attachments. The actual count is more like 25-30 different attachments, with the rest being doubles to allow for bits wearing out. But then, that is still 25 different attachments....

2) Think carefully if this is the correct tool for the job before you buy. If you are planning on carrying out smaller repairs on wood, metal or some plastics, you're probably on the right track. Versatility is this tool's main feature, not it's heavy duty power. While, for example, the cutting discs that come with this will enable you to cut through a piece of guttering or even a problematic nut/bolt, they wear out quite quickly. I don't want to label this a strictly 'crafts' tool, as that would be selling it well short, but don't buy it thinking that it will be able to take care of the bigger jobs.

Dremel Li-on Cordless Multitool
Another excellent Dremel Multi-tool.Well made and ergonomically very easy to use with no cable to get in the way.Very large range of speeds available to enable matching to the material/tool.Li battery should hold charge well.Good for minature work,hobbies,craft and other jobs.Not really for heavy duty DIY as not high torque.Already used it several times.Should work better and outlast cheaper non Dremel versions.

Really useful, powerful, well balanced.
I already have an early mains powered Dremel 285 which I don't tend to use that much as the power cord tends to make fine control difficult. I also have to find a power point near to the job in hand to use it. So I was attracted to the Lithium battery version for those reasons and after a couple of weeks ownership I can say it is well worth it. The power is more than enough for angle grinding with the EZ-lock grinding wheels for instance. The variable speed is also very good. It fits well in the hand and the speed control wheel is well situated. The balance is good for finer work and I can use the standard accessories I already have. This is a powerful tool and also reasonably quiet compared to the mains powered 285. I can recommend it. Please wear eye protection.
