Dremel Stylus Cordless Rotary Tool

This is a great addition to any tool set. It fits comfortably in your hands and can be used for very fine detail work or work where precision is a must. My first task when I got it was to grind and cut out some epoxy putty on a wall right next to some trim (don't ask). I was concerned that my older corded dremel would make this task nearly impossible with its shape and the cord tugging at the tool at just the wrong moments. With this tool I felt completely in control the entire time I used it. It had more than enough power to both grind (using a drum sander and a grinder) and cut using one of the new EZ Lock wheels (wide diameter, finally). I was able to get complete control over the tool and never had to fight it to get exactly the result I wanted.

This is a great evolution to the Dremel design and I would highly recommend it for light to medium use. Heavy cutting I would still leave to the corded units due to their higher RPM and torque.

Also, buy the Dremel Chuck. It will save you tons of time unscrewing and switching collets.

Overall the stylus is a great tool where fine control and precision are required. And it looks like a phaser from classic Star Trek. How can you go wrong?

It worked fine--once. While trying to remove the brush tool, the collet
nut was so tight it wouldn't come off. But the shaft lock button did, and a small spring popped out to God knows where. So after using this tool just once, it sits here, with the brush tool in place, worthless unless I want to brush something else. Sitting next to it is the 150 tool
"All-Purpose Accessory Kit." This product, made in Mexico, should be declared an illegal immigrant and kicked back over the border.

I build model cars for a hobby, and have always had some type of Dremel tool on hand, but until the Stylus came along, none were just right for me. They were either too big and powerful for the detail work I do, or the battery would not hold a charge long enough. And few would slow down to a speed suitable for plastics. The Stylus, with its long-life battery and variable speeds, is perfect for plastic modeling. The shape is easier to hold, also, and allows more fine control. The handy charging stand is also great, and it automatically shuts off when the battery is fully charged, something I wish my electric razor would do. The unit is quieter than others I have used, and it has a precision feel to it that gives me confidence when working with close tolerances. I've been modeling for 50 years, and finally there is a tool that meets my needs. It was worth the wait.

I own this tool and bought one for my Dad, too. It is small, easy to hold, and has an incredible battery life. As hard as I might look, I can not find a single negative about this new version of the Dremel.

I have been so pleased with this little stylus that I'm about ready to give away my corded Dremel tool. I have very little use for it any more. The lithium battery holds an extremely long charge and the tool is strong enough to accomplish nearly any task in one charge.

The only thing I can say needs a bit more work is the cradle/docking station. First, it's a bit light and slides around wherever it's placed. Also, the unit doesn't dock with the charging plug as convincingly as I would like. Although there is a light on the back of the dock that tells you when it's in place, I'm never sure whether it's completely locked into the dock, and you can never be sure that it will stay that way once you leave the room. (Indeed, when I went to check on the light just now, I discovered that it had worked its way out of position somehow and was not charging until I twisted it slightly. Point made.)

It's still a great product. I like it well enough that I gave a similar unit to my brother and his wife last Christmas and last I heard, they were equally thrilled with it.
