I'm looking at Dremels again. Did a few years ago and there were so many


models, I just put it off.




Now, I'm interested because I have occasional use for one. Corded or


cordless? I'm leaning towards cordless, though I see the see corded


model has a quick release mechanism that obviates the need to use the


little wrench on the collet nut to change tools but, on the other hand,


all the collet sizes are not readily available if you need a different


collet.




So, I don't have enough info to make a decision on this yet. Just like


the last time.




I have a real Dremel and a McCulloch both corded. If you are not using


them a lot the battery won't last long.






I find other than my drill... Cordless is a toy...


Cordless is good for small jobs, and ones that don't take a lot of power. Very handy when working on RC airplanes. Balsa and lite ply is soft enough that it doesn't tax the cordless one much.
