Broken right out of the gate

Charged her up, turned her on. She ran fine through all the speeds. Switched her off then tried turning her back on, nothing... Lights were still on but nobody was home. I had to remove the battery to reset. Tried again several times and same results. Obviously nobody checked this unit before sending her out the door.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love mine! I use it for some many projects, sharpening my chainsaw chain, cutting off nails sticking out on my wood working and sharpening the kitchen knives for the Wife.

Didn't choose this one either

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have liked the digital display. And I love that it seems compatible with the keyless chuck. But this tool is incredibly expensive and the large charger/power brick for the charger won't fit in a tackle box. If it had been smaller (maybe folding pins on the plug or something), I might've considered it, even at the exorbitant price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Dremel!!! Such a Versatile Tool
on April 15, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a great dremel. The brushless motors were such a great addition to the new dremel line. This dremel has all of the features you would want as Brushless motors, Light up variable speed and, light up battery indicator. Also the EZ twist cap so you don’t need to carry the little tool anymore it’s built in. Battery life was amazing got the job done and just put it in the charger for the next time. Not to mention the nice sleek design. All in all I can say this is a great dremel in every situation.

Powerful + Portable = PROFITABLE!
on April 16, 2022
Posted by: Ribble26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dremel 8250 is by far the most powerful Dremel I own. I have used this with standard polishing and sanding bits and also used it to trim laminate flooring. I like the portability of the tool it definitely is handy having a carrying case to keep the tool and charger as well as some attachments or bits that I use on a regular basis. It has variable speed motor with turn dial, which I find to be useful except it is real sensitive so if you dont watch it you could have it on full throttle, and you will mess up what you are doing. That being said I think it could be a little slimmer but the snake attachment works well w it so I cant complain too much. I really like the amount of time you can use it with only one charge. I have done at least 3 hours worth of continuious work and it still has a charge. I did find out there is a warning indicator when you put it in a bind or too much strain on the tool it will shut down and show a triangle with a (!)in side of it and I had it on lowest speed when this happened. But i turned up speed and it cut right through the plank no problem. It is quiet yet on hi it could get a little annoying if your not trying to be loud. I would 100% recommend this dremel model to anyone who uses them for hobbies or work on flooring or trim work. I will post some pictures to show my set up for anyone who may be curious on what I use to do the flooring.

The 8250 Rotary Tool is my all-around Favorite
on April 20, 2022
Posted by: jhorstke
from Spokane, WA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the 8250 last week, and I am pleasantly impressed. I like the shape of the rotary tool, it fits nicely into my hand and its rubbery surfaces where my fingers hold the tool allows me comfort but most importantly a tight hold. I've been making curved metal shelves that required welded connection pieces, so I used the cutoff disk supplied with the 8250 to remove excess weld material. I was able to use this tool for about an hour cutting the welds and the battery power was still available. That's super. I didn't think that the small 12 volt battery was that powerful. After charging the battery for about an hour, I went outside and put new bolts in my wheel barrel. The bolts were tool long so I decided to use the 8250 to cut the excess screw material off the bolts. Again, I was impressed that this tool had the power to cut through a 5/16" diam steel bolt. I ran through a few of the cutoff disks doing this, but the 8250 just kept on cutting. I like that the motor in this rotary tool is brushless, as I am sure that this helps to reduce the amount of power absorbed by the tool. I am finding a lot more porjects where this tool will be used in the future. I really like the nice cloth case that holds this tool, the battery, the charger and the accessory kit.
