 |
|
About 3-4 years ago I bought the Dremel Cordless 10.8V lithium-ion batter powered tool. It has proved to be an invaluable tool in building the RV10 and in doing routine work and maintenance. Anyway - the charger was dropped or went south and I needed a new charging stand. The fine folks at Dremel Service in Palm Springs CA agreed to sell me a new charger for $28. I called and they said that it was ok to come by and pick it up. I did and was surprised to meet Mrs Dremel herself. She and son Rob Dremel run the place and have a great little mini-museum on site showing the history of this gem of a tool system. A very cool piece of Americana. The family sold out to Emerson Electric years ago and it is now owned by Bosch, but they keep the family connection. Dremel has a new 12V Lithium-Ion powered tool which might be even better than my 10.8V system. The Lithium-Ion stuff is light and the batteries have great hang time.

I have the same one. I too have used it a bunch on the build, at work and around the house. Good for rivet shaving. It runs between 5-35,000 rpm. Last long enough for most small jobs. Charges back up quick. No cords to cut into like I did with my old one. But it still will cut into fingers if you desire some excitement. The 6" deburring wheel does a good job on fingers too as most of you know.

I still only have plug in models but love the new cut off wheel chuck
and the new durable cutting wheels.

Wayne, which wheel/bit are you using for rivet shaving? I have the
equivalent corded model, with the long flex cable installed which
makes it real nice for doing stuff like fiberglass and plexi trimming
with cutoff wheel.
