Not good
on May 24, 2026
Posted by: JohnDoe
I bought the 8240-5 a month or two ago. Not worth it; at all. The second time I used it (sanding), the gray piece on the end shot off the tool, into my shop. It melted the inside of the gray piece and melted where they come together.

Dremel battery is junk!!

I have the Dremel 8220 and although a few years old it has only been used a couple of times. I pulled it out this week to use it a d it won't run. Charger works but battery apparently doesnt charge b/c tool is dead. Seems like a common problem with this brand/battery. For the cost of this tool, Dremel do better! So disappointed in this product 😞
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Convenient and does the job a rotary tool should.

Recently bought as a first Dremel after other rotary tool I got broke in 2 days of light use. I have engraved metal and carved/shaped wood with no problem, overall comfortable and easy to use. My only gripe with it is the plastic shell feels flimsy and more like a toy than a tool, but it is phenomenal for DIY/Hobbyists.
I would recommend this to a friend!
