Is this as good as the cordless Dremel?

Although this uses the old style battery from what I understand. Not sure if lithium ion battery fits

yes, it has more power then a dremel. With the 18 volt it will last longer. I use the tool in my drywall work and it is great.

Got this as a gift for my dad and he loves it. He is retired and does a lot of wood working.

No,it's not as good as a Dremel-IT"S BETTER!Best tool in my tool bag by far.

Yes, they are the identical tool. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I picked up either one. All Dremel pieces work great (just make sure you have the right sized collet for the bit you're using).

It is smaller and more controllable for precision work, especially drilling. In my opinion it does not replace a Dremel when it comes to sanding or grinding.

Yes, I bought one at the same time I bought this B&D;, which has MUCH more power than a Dremel.

IMO, this is the only cordless set that provides the power of corded tools. You are trading the convenience of losing the cords with the inconvenience of added weight. The right tool for the right job is always the way to go. I tend to reach for my cordless tools (I own extensive 18 and 36v tools) than my corded ones for most tasks.

Your questioned was forwarded to me; unfortunately I do not have a definite answer. Keep in mind that the chuck thread size (where it screws onto the tool) matches the thread size of the Dremel. You could always stop in at a Lowe's or Home Depot to compare them (those stores both carry DeWalt and Dremel). I have also looked up the manufacturer's instruction booklet online in the past. Quite often the manufacturer will do a breakdown drawing of the equipment in the instructions so consumers know how to use the tools (i.e. the chuck wrench of Alan wrench that come with the unit). I hope this helps.

Gary, I'm not really sure. I'm fairly confident that you can get a valid answer by going onto Dremel's web site and contacting their customer support people.Pete

I have had mine for about a year now and it is much more robust than other models. You cam use different shank sizes without changing out parts like other models since it has a standard chuck. It also doesn't bog down like other models. The handle doesnt get hot in your hand either and its mot as bulky as it looks Its quite comfortable. This is my third dremel brand rotery tool. The last two were high end dremels and this one is the best I have ever owned. I use mine for cutting/carving plastic, wood, metal and have used it on bone and it works great. I did replace the foot switch with a router speed control so i can swirch it on by hand a adjust the speed without getting a cramp in my leg. Hope this helps.

It is variable speed and there are all kinds of Dremel sanding and cutting attachments but it might be a bit big for personal grooming. Dremel used to have a small cordless that might work better.

Bruce K. I went to the Dremel.com website, and the only thing i can see is that the improved the tool set so that it will run longer between battery recharges. For thre extra 20 bucks just order the 2/28, you will be happier in the long run. I did and it comes with a recharger and 2 batterys.

Great question, and great answers from all. Even though I'm just using this for around the house, I'm going to go with the corded version. I've seen reviews on the cordless version where the battery power gets sucked up fast when using certain attachments (like the sander). Granted I'm not sanding down a whole house, but I don't want to have to stop half way through a project because of a dead battery.

Not sure, but really doubt it. Our cordless 19V drill works good but I think it has more power than the dremel.I assume you are talking the smaller dremel tool, not the big one that works like a saw.

I didn't use my cordless Dremel for seven years after wearing out my Dremel drilling through a chrome bumper. Bought this battery and it's like the tool is brand new again. Recommend not leaving the battery on charge when you're not using it.

I have not used the dremel but it has two speeds and with fresh batteries it works very well. I don't know about it being all that quiet either,but it'd have to be silent for it not to upset my dog.

I don't know if DeWalt is better than Porter Cable. What I do know is that my DeWalt 20V cordless drill and impact driver are the best tools of that kind that I have ever used. Although the cordless drill is light-weight, it is very solid and it feels solid. It turns evenly, and even a long drill bit does not wobble. The impact driver is a powerhouse. It puts an 8" TimberLok into the wood with no problem. I use these two tools almost every day on the job site, and I highly recommend them.
