Did a few years ago and there were so many models, I just put it off. Now, I'm interested because I have occasional use for one. Corded or cordless? I'm leaning towards cordless, though I see the see corded model has a quick release mechanism that obviates the need to use the little wrench on the collet nut to change tools but, on the other hand, all the collet sizes are not readily available if you need a different collet. So, I don't have enough info to make a decision on this yet. Just like the last time. ![]() I have a real Dremel and a McCulloch both corded. If you are not using them a lot the battery won't last long. Are you saying that if you use the tool for a job that takes a while, the battery won't last long, or are you saying that if you don't use the tool frequently, the battery won't last long? Both to some extent but sitting idle, either on the charger or off, is tough on batteries (particularly Ni-Cads). That is why cordless drills get such a bad rep from homeowners and contractors seem to be fine with them. Yes, I buy all corded tools for just that reason...infrequent use. Our handyman is always going from one battery to another.. using my electricity to charge the dead one. I may have to start charging him. ;-) |
