Built for the do-it-yourselfer, Dremel's cordless MultiPro kit delivers the versatility you expect from a Dremel--with the added advantage of being cordless. Lightweight at only 9 ounces, this compact unit maneuvers comfortably in tight spaces. What will you use it for? Remove old grout in your bathtub, polish your flatware, remove a broken tile, etch glass, hang miniblinds, cut out a pet door, install a new car stereo, sand off a spot of hard-to-reach rust, clean your boat's outboard engine parts, refinish ornate woodwork, install a mortise lock, and much, much more. The kit comes with 50 bits, including a high-speed cutter, a bristle brush, a cutoff wheel, sanding discs, a felt polishing wheel, a grinding wheel, and more--all the tools you need to tackle projects around the home. The tool's ball-bearing shaft affords minimal vibration. The shaft-lock button and unique knurled collet nut make changing bits easy, too, with no wrench required. A three-hour battery charger and a carrying case are included. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Extremely useful gadget
I have a line powered Dremel but I most often grab for this rechargeable unit because its easier to handle without the cord. It is great for tight spots in the car. I recently upgraded the intercooler piping in my car and needed to enlarge a 2" hole to 3" diameter. I just used the cordless Dremel to make numerous radial cuts and bent the "tabs" back. I would have gone nuts trying to cut that out with a hack saw or file! I always use it at the full 15 krpm speed and don't miss a variable control at all.

My friend lost his special "antitheft" key wrench for his license plate mounting bolts. I just used a cut-off wheel to make two cross cuts in the (round) bolt heads, and unscrewed it with a Phillips head screwdriver. Without a Dremel, it would have been tough.

The battery life is short, but I always have an extra charged battery ready. If I'm working with it alot, I just rotate the batteries through the separate wall mounted recharger.

It can also be used as a printed circuit drill or for other small precise drilling. Much easier to handle than a typical hand drill for light work.

It does kick up some metal bits so use eye protection!

Useful for small jobs
Overall a good useful tool for light duty use only. Battery life is very short and the cutting wheels are delicate. I've pretty much destroyed all my wheels and stones putting the dremel to tasks which it obviously can't handle. The case is rugged and holds lots of bits and attachments.

I plan to purchase a corded dremel for those more ambitious jobs.

Cordless version has quirks - but does great job
Good: high speed+abrasive wheel cuts through ANYTHING, light durable feel when using, vast array of bits makes this a jack of all trades from cutting to polishing.

Bad: battery pack does not last very long, On/Off Switch is not definite (safety concern?), needed to buy 2nd battery pack while working a a bathroom project

This is NOT a drill. I see other reveiwers complain about this. If you want torque buy a light-dimming 12Amp Milwaukee Power Drill. The Dremel is an abrasive tool. If used intelligently it will do ALMOST anything you ask it to.

An incredibly useful tool that even I can use without mishap
I'm not what you would call a handy sort of fellow; a few years ago, my greatest handyman-type success was the successful changing of a light bulb. Five years ago, I had never even heard of Dremel; now, I wonder how and why anyone goes through life without a handy-dandy Dremel tool. A few years ago, I got it in my head that I wanted to build my own working versions of Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsy of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame. Such a project involves some tool-oriented activity, so for the first time in my life I found myself looking at tools. Since I know nothing about tools, I went about my business trying to look like I knew what I was looking for. I think every man responds to the siren call of the hardware department at some point in his life, but not until I found myself looking at a selection of Dremel products did I feel a strange lump of excitement in the pit of my stomach; tool anxiety had suddenly turned into tool excitement, and I gleefully returned home with this Dremel Multipro Cordless kit - feeling quite manly, I might add.

Exactly what does this thing do, you ask? Dude, what doesn't it do? It slices, it dices - no, wait, that's not right. This Dremel tool carves, it grinds, it polishes, it sands, it cuts, it brushes, it drills, it does darn near everything. It comes with 50 accessories in the form of abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving cutters, router bits, and cutting wheels. I, being born with a passive tool-user gene, can't really tell what each accessory piece does just by looking at it, but I'm sure most halfway intelligent people can. I have fun just trying to figure it all out. What I needed at the time I bought my Dremel kit was a little sander tool, and even I could recognize the accessories made for that purpose. I soon had my proto-Tom Servo head free of jagged edges and was ready to delve further into my little project; this was just the first of many little Dremel success stories in my suddenly tool-enabled household.

The tool itself is a portable two-speed unit that comes with its own battery and charger. Whenever you get through using it, just plug it back up to let it recharge, and it's ready to go the next time you need it. It is light-weight and allows for different grips, helping to ensure you can pretty much reach whatever little space you need to get to with it. This model has two speeds - 7500 and 15000 rpm. That's pretty darn fast, and that high speed combined with the unit's low torque makes life pretty simple for you - the tool does all the work for you, making this the perfect tool for weaklings such as myself. Now, if you're into some heavy-duty work, the Dremel tool may not meet all of your needs, but for many odd jobs around the house and all manner of hobby activities, a portable Dremel tool is the way to go.

I must say that the documentation that comes with the kit is quite impressive and does actually describe each accessory and its proper uses. Of course, my being a man, I don't think it's legal for me to read a manual, so I just get by on instinct and luck. The kit also comes with a colorful little book telling you all sorts of jobs you can do with your new Dremel tool - if you have a significant other, you might want to keep this kind of information away from her/him. Even if you do get stuck doing odd jobs your better half would never have conceived of without the insight of the Dremel documentation, at least you can be comforted by the fact that you will have a lot of fun playing with your new essential Dremel tool.

Almost Flawless
This tool is small, quiet, and easy to hold, even for a woman. It doesnt kick back when it turns on or while you're working with it. When you turn it off, it stops its own rotation immediately instead of spinning to a stop. I got it for my boyfriend for Christmas.

Comes in a nice, compact black case that snaps shut, and even holds the manuals. One small complaint is that the attachments are left to float freely around the box. This can be corrected by using ziplock bags to hold them.

Easy to charge because the bottom of the tool pops off and fits into the charger, so the whole tool doesnt have to hang from your wall.

A couple of notes that would have helped me, so may help you- I thought this tool could be used as an electric screwdriver, but it can not. It spins too fast.

Also, be aware when looking at the Dremel tools that some are corded. I almost ordered a corded one, but decided on this one because of the convenience of use. Corded ones give you more power per price. I think this is the most powerful cordless model offered by Dremel. ... Read more

Best Sharpening I ever had
Previous to spending 10 bucks for the Dremel Sharpening attachment, I was taking my chains to a professional to have them sharpened. It pays to follow the directions in setting up the sharpener correctly, but, once you do, you'll get the BEST sharpening job ever. My sharpening job with the sharpener was far superior to any of the sharpenings that I ever got from a professional. Plus, the professional guys ground an 1/8th inch or so off of the teeth each time they sharpened my chains, when, in fact, all they needed to do was to put a sharp edge on the teeth. The Dremel sharpener works magnificently and gives you a phenomenally sharp edge that will last a long time [as long as you keep your chain out of the dirt!] For the price of this product, it simply can't be beat.

Instructions Incorrect!
When a chainsaw is sharpened, the sharpening tool is always referenced to the top of the cutting tooth (see the sharpening instructions from any saw chain manufacturer).

However, on Dremel attachment 1453, front of box, the picture shows the guide riding on the chain's depth gauge instead. Printed instructions on the back of the box (and supported with pictures) confirm this error for both left and right teeth.

To further confuse matters, the instruction sheet inside the box describes a method where the guide rides on top of the tooth for one side of the chain, but on top of the depth gauge for the other side! This is also incorrect, in addition to contradicting the instructions on the box.

Nonetheless, the device works adequately, especially if the user modifies the procedure to cause the guide to ride on top of the cutters for both sides of the chain.

In my opinion, this would become an excellent attachment if the instructions were rewritten, the pictures on the box replaced by correct ones, and the guide manufactured as a mirror image of the one presently sold. This would allow sharpening both sides from the non-engine side of the saw, thereby allowing two more teeth to be sharpened before chain repositioning. On an 18 inch bar this amounts to five rather than three teeth for left side cutters - a 67 percent improvement.

I have e-mailed Dremel with some of these observations, but received no reply!

Works Great!
I took a chance that this chainsaw sharpening attachment would do the job on my little Poulan electric chainsaw. It works great! Chains grow dull fairly quickly, particularly when you let the chain touch dirt. This little tool sharpens the chain like new and only takes a few minutes to get the sharpening job done. You can't go wrong. Dremel provides three different size sharpening stones that will accomodate most chains.

Much easier than a file
This works much better than I thought it would. Accuracy is equivalent to a handheld file but it's a lot quicker and easier. I don't believe this fits the battery operated Dremel so you have to use it near a power source. Installation on the Dremel tool is vary easy. It takes maybe 15 seconds longer than changing a regular bit. If you have more than one size chainsaw, consider getting two. They are not expensive and you save having to set it up each time you switch saws. ... Read more

Where have you been
This should prove to be a first class item. When working in cramped areas this is better then the Flex Shaft since you can get the whole tool in where you need it. Plus the quick installation is so useful.

The Right Tool for the Job
This attachment makes a versatile tool even more versatile. I've used it to trim sheet metal ductwork and make cuts in wooden siding in a tight spot under the floor of a room addition. I've also used it to trim off PVC pipe ends from the inside out. It adds a whole new aspect to the Dremel tool by helping me to reach those difficult spots like that. Frequently, I use it to cut off nails and screws that can't be removed. This attachment stays on my Dremel tool all the time now. I'm glad I bought this one! I'm still exploring its uses. Always remember to go slow and make several passes at the material as you cut so as not to overload the Dremel. ... Read more

I shopped around first
I compared this tool to the other ones out there and it won hands down. I needed a tool to cut a variety of materials like drywall, plywood and formica countertops. Works great. I got the circle cutter too and I was surprised how easy it was to use and how perfect the circles are that it makes. I recommend it to any home owner like myself.

Great cut out saw
My other cut out saw went bad on me and I just about bought another one until I saw the Advantage. I liked the long warranty and the fact that I could change the motor brushes for longer tool life instead of thowing the tool away. It is the fastest spiral tool on the market and does everything I need it to do in my drywall and plaster business. Am planning on buying several more just like it. ... Read more

Best tool ever
I got this ool for my science class. We use it for building moust trap cars and it works like a dreem. great construcion and you can even get replacement blades for it. if you build mouse trap care this is a defanite.

Awesome little saw
I am amazed at the clean cut that this saw makes. I suppose it depends on the material you are cutting, but more often than not get a smooth, precise cut with no ragged edges. The saw is also remarkably easy to guide and cut a straight line. It's very well put together and I've had no negative issues with it whatsoever.

Not new, but useful
Dremel had a saw blade bit an number of years ago but withdrew it, probably because there was no blade guard. Now they have solved the blade guard problem and by angling the tool a bit have made it able to cut in the center of a board. It took a little getting used to before I got comfortable with it because the guard tends to fight you a bit until you develop the technique to open it properly as you start the cut. It is limited to 1/4" depth of cut making it specifically a modelers tool. When used for what it does best, it is great.

Poor quality.
It works fine but it rattles like it is going to fall apart. Very poor construction built like dremel has abought 2 dollars in construction. All plastic except for center shaft. They should charge a price closer to the quality of product abought $5.00 Here is to a vibrating piece of junk. ... Read more

pleasantly surprised
I got this as a Christmas present, and just now used it for the first time to engrave my cellphone. I had been wondering how easy it would be to control, but am glad to report that the result was as small & legible as what can be achieved with pen and paper.

The Best!
This is the best engraver I ever used.
I did try all engravers on the market.

Great Tool
I bought this engraver with birthday money from a discount store last fall, after researching it online. It will leave its mark on just about anything you would want. I like the variable speed settings which allows you to match the work to the material. I have used it to initial all my tools so there is no mistaking who it belongs to. It works on hardened steel as well as plastic. My wife uses it for craft projects in her pre-school teaching job.

Reliable & Easy to Use
This engraver works incredibly well. Although it looks unweildy, its very easy to control and engrave clearly. In fact, my engravings turned out to look just like my handwriting. I've used it to engrave tools and other metal and steel products, and it has done it with ease. I've had one for several years now, and its still an excellent & reliable engraver.

These once came standard with the flex shaft kit
I guess Emerson Electric figured they could make a few more pence selling these as accessories. By using these chucks you will relieve yourself of the trivial task of changing collets, but you will lose the precision and balance of collets in the bargain. These chucks are low-grade stuff indeed; they cause considerable runout and vibration in addition to the obvious clumsiness of their larger size.

Nice idea, but not 100%
While I do like the conevience of the chuck, it does not rotate 100% true. This causes a very slight wobble at the tip of any drill bit. I have tried 2 different chucks, but both yield the same results. I only use the chuck when absolute precision isn't required.

Awesome time-saver, but not for use with other attachments
I rarely use the standard collet that comes with the tool any more, after buying this item. No more looking for a wrench (which I invariably loose), etc. Beware, though: I took for granted that it would be compatible with my chainsaw charpening attachment. It is not. If you use other attachments, don't expect to be able to use this at the same time. If you don't use other attachments...well...go on to the next review. Well worth the buy, in my opinion

Cheap at twice the price
This chuck (which I consider to be essential) greatly enhances the convenience of any Dremel. You might be tempted to save the old collet device this chuck replaces, but before long you will discard it as useless trash. I do a lot of really miniature work and I find the chuck to be great for holding things as small as a 1/64th inch drill. I have one on each of my 3 Dremels.

Dremel 4486 MultiPro Chuck.
I don't understand why Dremel doesn't include this great little chuck as a standard accessory with all their Multi-Tools. It is so much easier, faster and less frustrating than fumbling with the tiny collar and wrench that the tools come equipped with. If you change bits on your Dremel often, as most users do, you will quickly come to appreciate the 4486. As for me, the 4486 is comparable to the Flex-Shaft as one of the single most worthwhile attachments available for adding versatility and conveience. ... Read more

Just where is the savings?
I refuse to buy this product from you for the following reasons! You advertise that I save $10. by buying a battery pack from you, then charge 33 percent of its value, or $10., in "postage and handling". That makes the $20.00 item cost $30.00. My biggest question is this: How can you possibly charge $10. postage for a tiny, light weight item such as this?

A must-have accessory for the Minimite
The Dremel Minimite is a great tool for jobs away from AC power. Its single battery is good for most jobs; but, if the job goes into overtime (over 45 minutes of tool use), this extra battery is an absolute must. Rather than dealing with a dwindling battery at the end (and often most crucial part) of the job, pop in a replacement and finish with gusto!

Off line, while charging one battery in the charger, the second battery convienently sits on top of the charger housing. Number them 1 & 2 to differentiate between the two and you've got a winning pair for any job in the field! ... Read more

The best and most practical Dremel tool to own
The variable speed Moto-Tool is the only way to fly for working with fired & unfired ceramics, precious and alloy metals, plastics, and wood. The speed adjustment ensures proper cutter control while not damaging the workpiece.

The flex shaft increases this tool's versatility ten fold! With it, you can work in areas that were obstructed for the Moto-Tool au natural.

The abundance of other accessories (router attachment, drill press, cutting accessories) makes this a tool that you can build a good economical workshop around.

You'll be surprised and amazed in just how often you will use it!

Variable Speed Switch cause of Malfunction
This Dremel was great when it worked. I had the same problems that I see many others have had. The variable speed switch was not designed well and the tool is rendered useless after a few weeks of light usage. The tool was sent in for warranty repair 2 weeks ago, still waiting.

Christmas dream
I mentioned to my mother ONCE that I wanted this...and so I was stunned when I got it for Christmas! I use it for everything from clockmaking, to cleaning and refinishing antique jewellery and the like. Everything... literally everything. There are so many more attachments to get!... The "flex shaft" is a necessity for me, at least. So I reccommend buying this "super kit" which comes with that flex shaft. ...

Dremel does it again!
I still have my 10-year-old Dremel tool but I wanted this one because it goes up to 35,000 rpm. And is it sweet! I like the soft grip body because it is more comfortable to hold and doesn't slip when my hands get sweaty. The faster speeds make the cuts smoother when I use the routing bits.

I also like the way Dremel keeps coming out with new bits to keep the tool versatile.

Nice tool but I'm not surprised
I bought this tool as a gift because of the Flex Shaft and all of the enclosed accessories. I own two Dremels and they have stood up to everything I can throw at them. The person I got the tool for is an artist and uses the tool for carving wood and plastic. She was very happy to receive this tool as a present and it makes me happy knowing that she uses it every day. ... Read more

If you've got a file and some boy scout skills use those.
I got one of these with my dremel tool. It works, but I really think a dremel tool is underpowered for sharpening applications. I spent some time trying to sharpen my shovel with it and finally gave up and grabbed a file and had it finished and a second shovel in less time and with far less noise. Let's face it, neither shovel or lawnmower blades need to be as accurately sharpened as a knife and a file will work handily, cost the same and last longer.

Good for midseason sharpening
The Dremel lawnmower blade sharpener works pretty good. But only as a midseason blade sharpener. Be careful sparks fly all over the place with this tool. If your blades are really dull take them to the pros but at midseason this tool will help put the edge back on a mild dull blade. Buy extra 932 grinding stones because you'll go thu them quick. ...

great practicality
I recently began using this attachment with my Dremel to create prescise lines at uniform depths. Using this attachment, I was able to achieve the results I was looking for. The variable depth is very helpful, but a little inaccurate. Still, I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a simple, but very helpful attachment for their Dremel.

Very useful
You can control the tool very easy with this attachment and better of all is compatible with the RTX of Black & Decker.

There to guide me...
Although this device is meant more for drywall cutting, I find it to be a useful tool when I'm cutting out narrow, shallow depressions in styrofoam for miniature landscape crafting. When I want to cut down to- and maintain- a specific depth, the guide lends me a really big assist.

Sadly, it's one of those accessories that require the use of collets, rather than a chuck, on the rotary tool. Not a really good thing when I'm constantly changing bits, and want to do it quickly. Oh well...

Works great, and fast too!
The grout removal attachment delivered as promised. It took the grout out so fast I was actually surprised. I have tips for success: 1. Always pull the tool, if you push it backwards the tip may break. 2. Use a shop vac to clean up the dust periodically as you go. Suck or blow out the tool with air from the vac to get the dust out. 3. Stand back and admire a job well done.

Nice idea ......................but.
After starting the degrouting job on by tub/shower i purchased a new dremel motor and this tool. The grout was 1/16" give or take and the grout was 20 years old. the bit cuts great and i did end up breaking 3 bits (@ $11.00 each). i was only 1/3 of the way done. The motor itself began having bearing problems, 3 hours into the job, due to grout dust ingestion. Home Depot gladly swapped tools. The worst part of this tool was dust blown all over the house. Finally took a hammer to the job and went to the studs and in the process found some serious potential problems. After 50.00 of hardibacker, 8.00 of tarpaper, 20.00 mastic, 110.00 in tiles, 12.00 grout and 15.00 misc i had a better job done with some potential problems fixed. It took 1 week of evenings to finish.
This is a good tool for a tile or two but to regrout a full surround (that is fairly old and you plan on living in your house not selling)..... I think you would be money ahead to at least consider a different route

Great attachment
I bought this attachment to finish cleaning the grout out of my tub/shower. I had done some of it by hand, but with my bad wrist, it was too much. I actually didn't use the bit that came with the kit, I bought 6 bits from leakyshower.com, for the price of one dremel bit, and only needed to use one to do the entire job. I had heard that the bit that comes with this attachment breaks easily, so I didn't bother to try it. I just bought the bits from Leakyshower.com.

Save $10 and just buy the bit
The attachment doesn't keep the bit centered and won't work near corners. The housing has two tabs that are supposed to guide the bit along the grout line. The problem is that the housing is made of cheap plastic so when you tighten it it distorts and causes the bit to be off center. This is only good for very small jobs and they tend to be near corners, so for get this tool. I found that I could easily complete the job freehand. So just buy the bit size that you need and save $10 (or $15 in some stores).

Dremel Grout Removal Kit When Doing A Floor
This works OK for a small floor area only such as 1 or a few tiles at most. Due to hardness of the grout the bit will definately break ([price] to replace)after about 10 mins or less of use. Dremel is aware of this issue and doesn't recommend this kit for more then a small area. Walls are OK if the grout is a softer or vinyl enhanced grout. If you do use this, stop frequently to allow the bit to cool and you may be able to get the bit to last a bit longer.

For floors, use a Dremel with a Carbide Cutter Bit (the one with a star pattern and pointed) and this bit will last forever. Use w/o the Dremel kit and be carefull at the corners of the tiles as this bit will cut into the tile if you don't keep it moving through the intersections. The point allows you to get the grout out of small areas or large.

Note that everyone whom has done grout work on a floor has tried it and quickly broken the bit which comes with the kit. It's easily returned broken though where you purchased it. Dremel's customer service says to return it to them if there's an issue with the store. The realize that the packaging is a bit misleading in regards to the kit's capabilities. ... Read more

More than Golf
I frankly have zero interest in golf, but I did need a portable, light-duty rotary tool for cleaning battery contacts and light buffing, and this one does very well. It runs on disposable AA alkaline batteries rather than a rechargeable battery pack, and I consider that a plus, since it results in lower immediate cost and avoids the irritating self-discharge characteristics and lengthy recharge times of NiCd and NiMH batteries. Torque is limited, but ample for things other than metal grinding or wood routing. It's a useful tool. ... Read more

Great product but not a great value.
This is a great product that will save the owner much time. It is a must have for anyone that does home/auto repair. I was trying to remove a rusted nut when I bought this product. I had it off in seconds. I can't say enough on how useful this tool is. I gave it only 3 stars because the Dremel 3956 or 3962 are a better value. Both the 3956 and 3962 have a variable speed Dremel instead of just a 2 speed Dremel and the 3956 includes the flexable shaft. The price to go from the 2850D to the 3956 is about $10 and the 3962 less than the 2850D. Still you can't go wrong on any of the Dremels.

One of the most usefull tools in my shop
This purchase was my first Dremel tool. I've used it to sand, grind, cut and fabricate small pieces or to modify larger pieces. You can do almost anything with one of these things. And with all of the new attachments they are coming out with....it just gets better....buy one...seriously... you wont regret it.

A life saver and a staple in any tool collection
This is a tool that you can't appreciate until you buy it and allow it to "save the day" time after time. Since I purchased this kit I have taken on jobs where I would never have imagined this tool finding an application, and without fail, before the project is finished, I find that I not only put it to use but I would have been stuck at a dead end were it not for this kit. Buy it and let it prove itself you wont be sorry.

Perfect Tool
I've used this tool mainly for metal works. It's good for those detail works some people face. It's a slow job working with metal but if you have patience it's accomplish what you're working on. I recommend this for anyone. I haven't worked on other material such as plastic but should be easy enough with this tool. ... Read more

Gotta have it
The quick change collet nut comes with every Dremel rotary tool but if you loose one you're sunk. It's good to have an extra one on hand in case the unthinkable happens.

Indispensable part of the Dremel
You really can't use the Dremel to its fullest without the Dremel collet nut. The Dremel Chuck is nice, especially if you are always changing accessory bits because the Chuck helps save time. I like the collet nut because nothing holds the bit tighter than the proper sized collet along with a collet nut. I use my Dremel hard, and the collet and collet nut makes sure the bit does not work loose.

Pass this by and get the chuck instead
Change out different collets to fit different diameter Dremel bits? I don't think so. You'll save yourself quite a bit of time, energy, and frustration if you get the Dremel 4486 MultiPro chuck instead.

The chuck costs a bit more, but if you do projects that require constant bit changes, it'll be well worth the money.
