[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dremel i used it with a sanding disk using the different speeds for different woods and it made my job so much easier. The fastest setting was great for sanding it cut my sanding time in half.The cordless feature made getting around to the different projects i was was working on easy and time saving.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High power, cordless goodness!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned several Dremel tools, but there's always been an evident difference between the corded tools and the cordless ones. The new Dremel 8240 certainly blurs those lines. Much larger than previous cordless tools (it feels more like the corded ones), this tool is large and feels quite substantial in your hands.
But the question is: how does it perform? In one word, the answer is: splendidly. The Dremel 8240 made quick work out of some of the wood and metal engraving and cutting I was working on, and still had plenty of juice to spare with its included 2.0 Ah battery. And this thing is quiet, too! I first thought that the quiet nature of the tool meant it wasn't putting out any significant power, but boy, was I wrong.
The 8240 comes in a great carrying case, with plenty of room to store the battery, charger, and any accessories you need. This may be my go-to rotary tool from now on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dremel 8240 Cordless Rotary Tool is very handy and easy to use. It is quite powerful and is the right size for small jobs. I can use it in tight spaces and it gets the job done. This is a great product for odd jobs around the home and crafting too.

Love no cord!

Worn horseshoes are used to create western art by crafters. The issue, however, is that they are worn by the horse through mud, gravel, and other abrasive materials for weeks/months. During that wearing they also rust. Sandblasting is often used to try to clean them up, but when my friend asked me if I could do something with her horse's used shoes, I decided to see what the Dremel 8240 could do, since I didn't have access to sandblasting equipment. The picture below doesn't do justice to how rusted and dirty they were. I first tried to soak one of them in water and dishsoap overnight. Very little changed and the rust got worse. So I decided to reference the Dremel Accessory Chart and selected recommended cleaning tools to try from the numerous ones I had from my corded Dremel tool. I had my doubts, I confess, but I shouldn't have. The Dremel cleaning and polishing accessories were perfect and though a bit messy, removed the rust and gunk. The 8240 was amazing to use. There are LED battery indicators which I frequently checked but the battery life is quite long and required no recharging through cleaning BOTH shoes over several days of use. Because it's cordless, you can twist and turn the tool without having to deal with stopping to untangle a cord frequently. That alone makes it invaluable. (When it says heavy duty applications, it's no lie. My brother borrowed it to use on his car parts and the detailing work he needed to do. It worked great and I may never get it back from him!) The variable speed was also quite useful as I slowed on crevices' and creases and zipped along on flat surfaces. Be sure you wear safety glasses as material does fly off what you're cleaning. The body is "fatter" so it is easier to hang onto. Your hand won't cramp up, even after prolonged use. It doesn't heat up with long use either. When I was ready to polish, changing accessories was easy. My only issue was the weight of the tool because I have arthritis, so I had to set the tool down and rest more frequently, despite the comfortable grip. I understand the 8250 is brushless and has even more power, but honestly, this one is quite sufficient. This is an awesome tool and I can see so many uses around the house for it, as well as with my crafts. It did an impressive job cleaning up these shoes. There are many advantages to it, but the biggest one is not needing to deal with a cord and cord hangers attached to the workspace! If the tool could somehow be made lighter I would have given it 5 stars.
