Great for getting into odd angles

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I received this 8240 wireless tool I have been using it a lot more than I expected. I have been using an older model Dremel with a Flex Tool for most of my modeling and 3d printed items but I have found that the 8240 enables me to get angles that I can't get with the flex tool without major moves to get the model in the right position which in many cases I cant do. I will be using the a lot more in the future. Great tool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great rotary tool for a novice Dremel user.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the 8240 a very good rotary tool. I will start by saying that the 2ah battery is not the best of batteries, and I would really have liked to get a second battery included in the kit. The added tool tray is rather lacking to tell the truth. The cutting wheels are of the old design that use (an included) arbor with the small screw that retains the wheels. I kind of consider this kit as something that was thrown in just to give the new user something to upgrade right away. Anyway, I utilized this tool to make a repair part for my aging 65 MGB. The tail light lenses are retained by a built in tab on the base of the light assembly. Since it is make from pot metal the tabs break quite easily. I designed in CAD (cardboard aided design) a fix for this problem. I used the 8240 to cut out the repair piece from aluminum. Cutting the aluminum was a bit slow going since I was using the included cutting wheel. After some time, I used one of the EZ arbors and cutting/grinding wheels to shape the aluminum. Once I had the rough size, I used the included sanding drums to finalize the shape. The battery did not last all that long while cutting through aluminum. A higher amp hour battery would help this along. The charger does work quite well, charging the battery quickly. Overall I do find this a great upgrade from my old corded Dremel 4000. I think I would recommend going up one or two levels to get a great rotary tool, like the Dremel 8250.

Dremel and remodeling
on May 18, 2022

from Bloomington, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In remodeling a den, we purchased a small, corner unit to use for a printer stand and TV accessories holder. Once assembled, I got the idea that it could hold the external TV speaker as well. The speaker, unfortunately, was just a bit bigger than the angled corner cabinet could handle. However, I noted that I could cut an opening in both sides to allow the speaker corners to protrude without being visible from the cabinet front. Once again it was Dremel to the rescue - the handy, cordless 8240 kit made the job on the thin lauan plywood an easy job. The kit comes packed with the right accessories in addition to the tool and is so easy to use and store. Great design! And I really like the cordless nature. The powerful battery lasts through long jobs and without a cord I was able to maneuver the tool in this tight space to get the job done. It was the perfect tool for the project. The speaker fits perfectly (and I can hear my favorite shows) thanks to the Dremel 8240.

Easy to use

Posted by: Dee123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for using around an apartment when I don’t have a lot of storage space! Easy for DIY fixes and shelving and sanding down walls after caulking. Love the little storage case that it comes in. Tucks away nicely in the closet.

I bought my first Dremel a Dremel 200. I say first because I fell in love this the tool and plan to buy a new updated Dremel cordless soon. I am new to wood working and didn`t want to spend a ton of money on a Dremel. Well, like I said I fell in love with the thing. I have made a sleigh and a snowman for my wife. She thought they are cute. That`s all I needed

I bought this yesterday and light on charger is always a solid green but the fuel gauge flashes one light or all three lights after just a couple of minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
