Dremel MultiPro Cordless 7700-02 20,000 RPM Two-Speed 7.2V Rotary Tool System w/50 Accessories

Exactly what does this thing do, you ask? Dude, what doesn't it do? It slices, it dices - no, wait, that's not right. This Dremel tool carves, it grinds, it polishes, it sands, it cuts, it brushes, it drills, it does darn near everything. It comes with 50 accessories in the form of abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving cutters, router bits, and cutting wheels. I, being born with a passive tool-user gene, can't really tell what each accessory piece does just by looking at it, but I'm sure most halfway intelligent people can. I have fun just trying to figure it all out. What I needed at the time I bought my Dremel kit was a little sander tool, and even I could recognize the accessories made for that purpose. I soon had my proto-Tom Servo head free of jagged edges and was ready to delve further into my little project; this was just the first of many little Dremel success stories in my suddenly tool-enabled household.

The tool itself is a portable two-speed unit that comes with its own battery and charger. Whenever you get through using it, just plug it back up to let it recharge, and it's ready to go the next time you need it. It is light-weight and allows for different grips, helping to ensure you can pretty much reach whatever little space you need to get to with it. This model has two speeds - 7500 and 15000 rpm. That's pretty darn fast, and that high speed combined with the unit's low torque makes life pretty simple for you - the tool does all the work for you, making this the perfect tool for weaklings such as myself. Now, if you're into some heavy-duty work, the Dremel tool may not meet all of your needs, but for many odd jobs around the house and all manner of hobby activities, a portable Dremel tool is the way to go.

I must say that the documentation that comes with the kit is quite impressive and does actually describe each accessory and its proper uses. Of course, my being a man, I don't think it's legal for me to read a manual, so I just get by on instinct and luck. The kit also comes with a colorful little book telling you all sorts of jobs you can do with your new Dremel tool - if you have a significant other, you might want to keep this kind of information away from her/him. Even if you do get stuck doing odd jobs your better half would never have conceived of without the insight of the Dremel documentation, at least you can be comforted by the fact that you will have a lot of fun playing with your new essential Dremel tool.


Pretty good so far, though I haven't used it that much...   April 11, 2000

I bought this in a bit of an emergency situation and it helped greatly. We needed a tool that could do some "hand milling", shaping, and filing of some small plastic parts to finish a mechanical engineering project for one of my classes. It worked really well on the plastic but when we tried using it to smooth some metal threaded rods, we chewed through a few files before the job was finished. I'm glad I bought this Dremel though because I'm sure I will be able to find some use for it in the future. The fact that this unit is cordless is also a huge help even though the batter only lasts about 20-30 minutes when used.


Very handy tool   May 2, 2002

I have 3 Dremels now: a regular AC variable speed model, a cordless that runs at 5 and 10 thousand rpm, and this one. The convenience of the cordless models causes the AC model to lay on the shelf most of the time. I advise anyone purchasing a Dremel to also buy the 4486 MultiPro Chuck. If you change tools frequently the chuck is really essential, and I have no idea how I could use my 1/32nd and smaller drills with the collets available. It seems to me that much of the criticism I read in the other reviews of this product are from people expecting the Dremel to be a substitute for an electric drill-- In that regard I agree that it isn't one. However, for someone doing highly detailed miniature work, the Dremel is an essential tool, and the two cordless models are the best of the lot. I have had no trouble with the battery coming loose on either cordless model, and I am quite satisfied with how long the charge will drive the machine, and the relatively short time needed to recharge them.


The right tool for pet grooming   August 27, 2007

If you were frustrated with the power or endurance of the Dremel Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool-- (http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-761-03-Cordless-Grooming-Rotary/dp/B0000C6DZ2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2958210-2482411?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1188235101&sr=8-2),

I've got the tool for you. This one uses a rechargeable battery and has excellent power. I've got a 100 lb. German Shepherd with huge nails and he does NOT like to get his nails trimmed. This tool did the job fast, no worries about cutting too deep with a clipper, and the battery charge lasts a long time.

One caution is that the rotary sander will generate a fair amount of heat, so don't work one nail too long or it will get uncomfortable for the dog. It's worth the extra money for this tool and you don't have to feel bad about running through all those AA's.

Bought it to trim the three labrador's toenails (or claws, as it's been a while...). They don't love it, but they put up with it much better than the clippers. We're trimming once a week, and no more worry about bloody toenails.
