Home Depot Dremel Tool Kit

dont get cordless.

dremel (tm) is awesome.

can you elaborate why? Dremel seems to make a high end cordless version that's as more powerful than its corded 3000 but not as powerful as their 4000. Way I see it, it would be easier on my junk yard adventures.

IMO, cordless tool such as this just..don't have the grunt a corded one will, I don't care what the box says.

I doubt the cordless can have that much power and it will never last as long. Plus why would you take that to a junkyard? BFH FTW!

If I'm reading the specs right, the cordless isnt rated at the same RPM, which indirectly suggests it wil have less power and subsequently less torque.

Cordless for small, weak jobs, corded will be for the heavier drills and cuts


corded will ALWAYS have more torque, even though its lithium ion, the battery will only put out the same average voltages any cordless toll will, they just charge faster, are lighter, and will hold a long charge...

the amount of voltage is what you need to focus on.

just in case I want to test out so body work techniques on junk cars instead of on my own.

So the difference between 2k-5k rpm is that much more power? Sorry im a rotary newb

I almost wasted my money on a Dremel, I ended up buying a Ingersoll-Rand 308A 1/4 die grinder. Already did two port and polishes, cut up the towers to fit my e28 GC race camber plates and countless other things.

25k RPM, 1/4 and eats through everything without slowing down. I never use the fill speed, mostly at 9-12k unless I am using my disk cutter wheel attachment or sand drum. This is one of my top 5 favorite tools. And I would never ever buy a cordless version to perform these tasks.
