I've had a Dremel Multitool Pro #395 (10k to 37k) for around 20-odd years. The chuck is nearly worn out, and the button to unlock the shaft is really stiff, but it has worked every time I've needed it. It was made in Mexico, not sure if that is normal. It is easily my oldest power tool. Nice video. I might upgrade soon. $0.02

Let me chime in here: the 8220 and 8240 is going to be as high as you want to go currently. The 50 and 60 models have insufficient bearings that cannot handle 30,000 rpm- they heat up and fail- becoming so hot that it mishapes the interior support braces resulting in the entire motor shaft becoming loose leaving you without a useable tool. Not sure why there isn’t more context about this issue-I sent mine back 4 times before I decided to fix this issue myself. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful as the fix is replacing the bearings with quality bearings. Bringing me to the next issue. Technically, this is not a Dremel at all. Dremel has been sold twice with the most recent in the 90’s to ‘Bosch’. Understand that a new tool is a ‘Bosch’ product with the name ‘Dremel’ on the side. No longer made in Germany or Switzerland- this tool is made in and with components of ‘Mexico’. Mexico. Which could be the worst quality production country in the world. Save money and buy a better product investing in a Milwaukee. If your box says Dremel on it, you’ve Compromised quality for a name. Period.

What dremel type tool would you buy if it is not from the dremel brand?

@zaneseligman1313 3 ай бұрын

@@genexsus97 I like Milwaukee. I’ll also admit that I’m hard on tools- especially little precision tools. I have a couple of Dremels - one was passed down to me and one I can’t use as I mentioned. There are a couple company’s that exclusively produce this rotary tool- you’d have to Google that to find them- and I think they’re kinda pricey- For me, I’ve found that I can keep a couple of the cheaper ones around and not be so upset when I destroy them. I also believe that when it comes to this tool, it’s about 75% accessory, and 25% tool. I think most people find the secret is in finding a good, long lasting, quality bit to match your application.

no sorry, how do you change the brushes then? I have 3 Dremel 4250s for work, and I also wanted to get the 8240. I run out of brushes quickly, how the hell should I change them now?

@rotarycrafts8760 5 ай бұрын

On the 8240 I don't think you can change the brushes that easily. They are built into the motor housing so I think getting a new motor is needed if they wear out. But I don't know the durability of the cordless brushes compared to the corded ones. The 8250 is brushless though. So it should be more durable.

@woodenheart3494 5 ай бұрын

@@rotarycrafts8760 but it's unthinkable! if the brushes last about 50 hours, why would you ever buy a dremel, costing 150 euros, which you then throw away?? this is impossible, they can't be that stupid, maybe these brushes are made to last much longer?

@rotarycrafts8760 5 ай бұрын

@@woodenheart3494 I've searched around a bit for this now, and to me it seems that the tools will last longer than 50 hours. But if it used harshly, the lifetime of the brushes will decrease of course. I have not any problems with mine yet but i have not ran it for more than 50 hours. But, it is not designed so that you can change brushes easily yourself. In the spare parts manual the entire motor assembly with the shaft is one part, and it goes for around 30$. Here something stated in the manual about the motor: "The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Dremel replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used." You might be better of sticking to the cordless models if you need to use it a little bit harshly and be able to change brushes yourself. The brushless models 8250/60 promises a longer lifetime, but they are still relatively new tools for me so i cannot say anything from experience.

@@rotarycrafts8760 hi, this dremel has yet to arrive, maybe I'm worrying too soon, but I want to find out first. I tried to look at the manual online, but I can't find any of this, maybe there are more manuals once it arrives. but I find it very strange that there are no videos on KZbin, Reddit posts, or more specific information on the matter, at least, unfortunately I haven't found them. Can I ask you the name or code of the piece you are talking about? because I can't find it in the online manual. from what I think, the brushes are made to last much longer in this dremel, if I had to replace them I can't therefore use the traditional ones, at least I think.. thank you very much for the information you found.

There is a tool that has more power than any Dremel, if you really need to step up to a professional level, but still need to use 1/8th inch Dremel bits. Foredom are industrial strength flex-shaft tools with power ratings measured in terms of horsepower (1/3, 1/10, 1/5) . They are a lower RPM, but far higher torque, running at a single speed and turning in only one direction. They have multiple detachable handpieces used for different diameter shaft bits (1/8th ", 1/4" ) as well as adjustable chucks and foot-switch controllers. They last for many years - we have used the same one in our shop since 2005. We also found that using a Dremel all day made our hands numb due to the vibration, so we switched over to Korean-made micromotor tools that ran smoother and faster. The real Korean tools are extremely expensive - The Chinese copies are cheaper and of far lower quality. They get hot very quickly, are noisy and vibrate more. Use real Korean micromotor tools if you buy one. They are worth the cost.

Picked up the "Platinum Edition" of the 4300 yesterday at Lowes, was set to get the 8250 after their app saying the closest store was 100 miles away with the 4300 in stock and my home store didn't have the 8250 either but the 8250 was in stock at another store about 25 miles from my store. Got there and they had the 8250 but turns out they had two of the PE 4300s and they were the same price. I was still going to pick the 8250 but after thinking a bit I couldn't turn down how much I'd save with getting the 4300 with all the attachments (especially the flex shaft) included in the box. After seeing how off that Lowes inventory was, on my way back I stopped at the other store and of course they had one of both in stock. Kind of annoyed I drove 50 miles out of my way, knew I should've checked.
