Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 5, 2008 thinking of getting one of these, will help clean up my brake calipers, plus am sure i can use it on other things like the land rover anyone got one? are they any good? thinking of getting Dremel 8000-01 Lithium-Ion Cordless seen it in a deal with spare batt, lots of attachments, and some other stuff for about £140 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 5, 2008 Cordless one is good - I have the older one but take a while to charge... for more heavy duty stuff I am now using a corded one - B&Q were doing a really good deal over xmas for £49 with dremel in a tool box with the flexible shaft and various accessories... they may still have some left!

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 5, 2008 the cordless one i seen comes with two batteries, is that why you changed? because you run out of power, or are the corded ones more powerful to begin with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Corded ones are more powerful. I've got a corded Black and Decker one I'm happy with, used it quite a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted March 5, 2008 corded one everytime. cordless ones are usually gutless, and wont last long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted April 3, 2008 Just bought one of these myself. Ended up getting the 300. Just used to cut some clamps off an exhaust. Worked a treat and the discs dont wear done that quick, unlike the rotarzip that i have also got. Very eary to handle, even came with the bendable extension. Which one did you get 3corsameal, whats the attachment you have there? GOing to get the diamond cutting disc. I cant see you needing another disc to cut metal, though at £25 its not cheap.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 3, 2008 i think i spent more on attachments than the dremel :lol: broke loads already :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted April 3, 2008 i think i spent more on attachments than the dremel :lol: broke loads already :nuts: What you been doing to break them? Yeah i want that diamond cutter, you used it yet? Cant believe the prices of some of the tools. Though the £25 for the diamond one will be worth it.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 3, 2008 am sure i got the diamond wheel for about £12 i just used grinding stones that were softer than metal on metal, and the tips just disappeared broke a couple of cutting discs using them at a funny angle, some drill bits i snapped and the wire brush vanished as i touched it on some sharp metal and shot all the metal wires into my hands :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 3, 2008 http://www.tool-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Cutting.html its £12 there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted April 3, 2008 :lol: bear in mind the instructions say you dont need to and should use pressure. £12 is a bargain! Ill check ebay out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
