Dremel 8220-1/28 12-Volt Max Cordless Rotary Tool Kit- Engraver, Sander, and Polisher- Perfect for Cutting, Wood Carving, Engraving, Polishing, and Detail Sanding- 1 Attachment & 28 Accessories

Works well. Charges fast. Holds a charge for quite a while. No complaints for this tool. Should last longer than my previous Hawkforce rotary tool. I've had a corded Dremel rotary tool with flexible shaft for several decades and it still works great. The Dremel cutting discs last much longer and cut better than the off brand ones. Can't beat a Dremel.

I bought this 8220 dremel after buying the 8050 for trimming our dog's nails but wanted a more powerful dremel for other projects around the home. I knew I wanted a cordless dremel, and opted for the 12 volt 8220. My first impression was it is quite a bit bigger and heavier than the 8050. Once I charged the battery and turned it on, I knew it was a beast! I used it to cut off some hard plastic toilet valves (and replaced with SharkBite compression valves) and it cut through them with no problem. I was very impressed with the power and features of this dremel. I am just thinking of all the things I can do around the house now that I have this!Some pros of this model:1. Cordless power!2. 12 volt separate battery and charger incase you want to have additional batteries. It is a quick charging battery taking about 1 hour3. Separate power and variable speed switch. Variable from 5-30k.4. EZ twist collet lock (no need to carry around wrench)5. Takes all of the dremel attachments unlike some of the smaller models6. Handy case that stores the 8220 and many more accessoriesOverall, I plan to use this dremel a lot for things around the house. I have attached a picture of the 8220 next to my 8050 micro for a size comparison. This was the same price as the smaller model. If you have any thoughts on using the dremel for more than very light usage, I recommend going with the larger model.

I have had a cheap corded rotary tool for years and have loved the versatility of it. I have used it for many and wide variety of projects. However, I always dreaded getting it out due to having to string out the power cord and possibly an extension cord where I would need to use it. Decided it was time to upgrade to this cordless Dremel. I have not been disappointed and find I often grab it to do tasks I would have previously done with other tools but now it's much more convenient to use this! If you are on the fence, I will tell you it worth the money and I would recommend this tool to anyone. Great to have in your arsenal.

Great tool! I wish that it could have been scaled down a bit in size, but realize that the good-sized battery pack necessitates more bulk. I personally prefer a "dial" speed control, rather than a linear "slider" control, but this linear control seems to work just fine. The power is good, and the battery holds a charge for a very long time. The included accessory bits are a pretty good basic assortment. I suggest not buying any additional accessories until you evaluate your needs. One, absolute "must" accessory IMO is the keyless chuck. It is very reasonably priced, and once you have one, you'll never want to do without it. It is the one accessory that I would order along with the Dremel 8220. If this unit lasts as long as my corded Dremel - going on 40 years - I'll be a happy man...

I picked this up for use as a quick tool I could pick up and use on the fly with art projects and other random minor tasks. While it does it’s job, and does it well, I feel there’s a slight learning curve to be surpassed here that your average user may not be expecting.For starters, it comes with a lot of attachments, however, those attachments are not immediately apparent as to their use. In addition it’s not easily understood how to attach or remove them.The provided instructions, while helpful to some minor degree, do very little to enlighten the user as to how these tools work with very basic, minimalist instruction at best. The instructions also seem to be a general list made for various models which makes one have to carefully decipher which ones apply to the model they purchased. Even then it’s a challenging process.Overall, the product does it’s job - if you can figure out how to use it safely and correctly. The included manual is of course the biggest obstacle in that it basically puts a less than experienced user on how alert to be cautious for all sorts of dangers, but fails to properly instruct the user on how to use said attachments and avoid those pitfalls.I included a picture of a very (extremely) basic project I undertook, the creation of a smooth, rounded ends, stickball bat. I say basic because it was all I felt confident in using it for until I could better understand the attachments and their safe use after opening it up brand new and jumping into my project.Overall, the product is great from what I have experienced, but ones user mileage may vary depending on one’s experience and knowledge with said tool. For the more mechanically or creatively (handy) inclined I’m certain this may be a non-issue.Would I recommend. Of course. I just wish it was more user friendly. I’m sure in time I will get better at understanding it’s various functions. Until then I can’t give it a five because the instructions are simply not user friendly.
