Great review, thank you! Not sure if you know this or not, but I noticed during your video you kept using the separate small wrench/spanner to tighten the collet nut, however the EZ Twist nose cap on your dremel has an integrated wrench/spanner built into it to tighten and loosen the collet nut so you don't have to go searching for the small one every time. Makes it much more convenient! 😉
One feature you missed is that all dremel cordless rotary tools made for the past 10 years (since the 8220 at least) feature another way to tighten or loosen the collet and tool bit... You unscrew the finger guard as if you are removing it to screw on an attachment like the router guard. But instead of removing the finger guard you use that to tighten/loosen the collet holding the tool bit. Very handy of you have misplaced the little collet wrench.
I wouldn't buy another cordless Dremel unless I used it frequently. The batteries die quickly with limited use and can cost near as much as the tool to replace. If you just use one off and on, I would recommend a corded one. I thought the cordless one would be cool but whenever I need it, I'm looking to do a quick job and end up needing to charge the battery or it's just shot. That's my experience.
Just to say, that's a sale so Dremel spent their sponsorship money well! I have a 8220 but it has the plastic screw threads on the accessory mount stripped (at this price point, Dremel really ought to make the front end from die-cast metal). It also gives really poor torque at low speeds and a brushless motor in theory ought to fix that, if they've done it right. I'm hoping (and expecting) that the accessories and battery will carry over and I'll only need to scrap the motor unit.
Nobody ever mentioned the price during reviews.. a hair under $200... $170 plus tax!! Way more then even a really nice brushless imact drill.. like a good $50 more, i really don't see why it is so much. Other then the crazy price it seems like a nice product and a great evolution of a timeless idea. Love dremels!
Sorry, not a fan of rechargeable battery dependent tools although I am a fan of brushless AC powered tools which keep on working even when off grid powered with a small portable generator. Don't like climbing up and down looking for batteries which need charging if they charge at all.
Why, oh why, does everything have to have an app. The indicator on the tool itself shows that the battery level is low. Finding out what percentage it is, is just a naff gimmick. As for the tool revolutions required for each bit/attachment - these tools have always come with a very comprehensive booklet providing all of that information.
Hi - quick question.. y'know the on/off switch.. obviously works by SLIDING forwards or backwards... but does yours move DOWN further into the body of the tool if you PRESS it down in towards the inside.. and then come back up with you take the pressure off? I just got mine the other day but i noticed that there was 'play' vertically when you put your finger or thumb on the button, and non of my previous Dremels did that - they were quite solid and firm when you slid them on or off... Pls could you let me know - even a short vid would be good..?
@@christianwolstencroft3431 thank you for asking this & following up! mine is the same and your comment is the first info I've found that confirms this is normal (but really makes the tool feel fragile and cheap... as someone who designs machinery for a living, this is likely going to be a major failure point of the unit unfortunately...)

I accidentally said, “Thank you sweetheart for helping me.”My wife asked, “Who are you calling sweetheart?” I told her, “The lady on RUclips who helped me.” 😂😂😂
Good luck removing the battery out of the Dremel Micro, it's integrated and can't be removed, showing not even Dremel actually cares about removing the battery first to change bits. You are probably the only one to care. With the number of respectable professionals changing bits exactly like she did one wonders if you might have commented about it because you wanted to be negative to her and tried to find any "mistake" you could. It's only in the manual in dremel mentions removing the battery when storing and making "any changes" for liability just like hot liquid warnings on coffee cups. (It is even written in the micro model which doesn't have a removable battery). The actual step by step instructions don't say to remove the battery, and she followed those steps. To add more evidence that your suggestion is unnecessary, professional machinists don't unplug their drill press, lathe or mill when chucking up a tool or part and those tool can break your hand and worse. Go watch Adam Savage a celebrity in the building world, he just uses the power switch like most people including with his hand rotary tools. Saying remove the battery to swap bits is the same level of thinking as advising everyone to wear a helmet all day and night just incase they lose balance and fall. Or advising people to wear a fireproof apron and face shield anytime they cook for themselves in their kitchen in case if a grease flame. Telling people always remove the battery to change the bit is unnecessary advise at best.
@@DaniGirl6 respectfully, mills and lathes don't have fiddly little switches that are in close proximity to the chuck. as a someone who both designs heavy machinery and who uses tools all day for work, when using a corded Dremel, I always unplug to change bits, which is the equivalent of removing the battery. it's tool safety 101 to take basic steps to prevent accidental powering-up of the tool when there are loose parts or other hazards (like during times when you know you'll be touching the bit with your hand). Dremel for whatever reason decided to design their switch so that your hand is most likely touching it or near it while you're changing the bit, hence why it's important for this specific tool to always unplug or remove the battery. and even if you personally choose not to, it's still irresponsible to give people who aren't trained in tool safety (i.e. the majority of dremel users) advice that goes against basic tool safety knowledge that any actual machinist would be highly familiar with. just saying.
Have always thought about getting one of these. Tons of applications and functionality.
Me too! I agree so many things it could be used for
You demonstrated it with amazing way, thank you and God bless you

Beautiful video, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Good week. 👏👏👍😘
Thank you too
Hi, it was great. The carpentry was good. Thank you, do not be tired

That was more true with the pre-Li-Ion batteries. New Li-Ions hold their charge much longer. I suggest you give them a shot.
Just to say, that's a sale so Dremel spent their sponsorship money well!

I love your video.
Easy to understand. Thanks
Glad it helped!

Have you used its predecessor? if yes, how does it compare to this, is this really worth the hype in terms of efficiency, battery capacity and torque?
Hi! I have not used the earlier model, but lovin this one! It says battery is better comparatively though
Why, oh why, does everything have to have an app.

@ Eternal Harvest Decor, Good video. Helpful and explanatory. Thanks.
Can we attach a flex shaft to this ?
Yes the flex shaft is compatible with this model
Is the charger adapted to 220 volts?
The US adapter is not 220 V compatible. You will need to buy the Dremel intended for your Region.
Is a app or bluetooth MANDATORY ?
No Michael, the tool can still be used without the app or a bluetooth connection

Did you get this figured out? Mine does not do that, hope you got yours fixed up
@@EternalHarvestDecor yes, it's normal. Had a number of people show me theirs are the same.
oh good, maybe I misunderstood! Im glad you got it worked out

Too much music. I want to hear the machine not music.
I accidentally said, “Thank you sweetheart for helping me.”My wife asked, “Who are you calling sweetheart?” I told her, “The lady on RUclips who helped me.” 😂😂😂
your video helped me decide on getting the 8260.. This will be my first rotatory tool. Early Christmas gift for myself :)
Merry Christmas! Glad I could help!
Always remove the battery before locking the tool.

1st..
Seen one at a swap for 45 i thought it was too much until I seen the video and the price after man I feel I lost a good deal.
