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.
Are you saying that if you use the tool for a job that takes a while,
the battery won't last long, or are you saying that if you don't use the
tool frequently, the battery won't last long?
Both to some extent but sitting idle, either on the charger or off, is
tough on batteries (particularly Ni-Cads). That is why cordless drills
get such a bad rep from homeowners and contractors seem to be fine
with them.
Yes, I buy all corded tools for just that reason...infrequent use.
Our handyman is always going from one battery to another.. using my electricity to charge the dead one. I may have to start charging him. ;-)
That can sure get expensive. Make sure you give your handyman change
for a dollar.
