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.

What tool do you need to use that doesn't work with the standard 1/8 collet?

I have both, because I had the corded model, then when they came out
with cordless, I bought it, hardly ever use the corded one anymore. This
exact one:

That's one of the ones I'm looking at. At the moment, they seem to be
out of stock at Home Despot, so if I get this one, I'll order it from
Amazon.

Engraving and diamond points for instance.

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?

.... but I will say, my 18 volt 3/8 chuck cordless hand drill does the
job. I have gone through steel and 2 bys... Built a whole small deck for
a lady with one battery switch.

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.
