So when I decided I would like to try some wood carving, kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR I went all out and got the best Dremel I could find. I quickly discovered that carving just by hand is a long process (and painful on the hands). Rotary tools can all basically do the same things, but this one has two particular features that set it apart. First, you can use it much more dextrously since it doesn't have a power cord pulling on it. You can also take it anywhere without pulling an extension cord along with you. It's hard to overestimate the benefit of this. You'd think that you'd have to sacrifice some power for this, but this Dremel has a very strong and long-lasting battery and it charges quickly. Secondly, while most rotary told have a few speed settings, this Dremel has a sliding scale, from very slow to extremely fast. This thing can do about a million different jobs, but I would point out one drawback, which is certainly not unique to Dremel, is that it's a small chore to change out the different tips.

[@jed2055]

I understand your "unbiased" enthusiasm Cornelius but I believe the corded 4000 series have more power and definitely higher rpm. I would love to be able to justify having another Dremel and I believe this model is the highest powered CORDLESS hobby rotary tool but I could be wrong. I knew Bosch would bring out a brushless model and that is the future of all electric tools. Dremel being a premium tool (with premium price) are at the forefront of technology. More power to Dremel. BTW people, get the app no matter which model Dremel you have. It can be used as bit reference vs working material, so not just for the Bluetooth connected 8260.

[@larryrussell3511]

Got the App 👍 Nice.

[@jlewis300]

I jsut replaced my old OLD Dremel with this and I am very pleased. Maintaining power while cordless is so delicious.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Happy to hear that! I know they are pricey but... They are so dang powerful.

@@CorneliusCreations My old one is still going strong, just loud and annoying. Money well spent.

[@Mushroomhaus0001]

I’m glad Dremel made this because it means that Milwaukee is probably not far behind on a brushless rotary. Not that I have anything against Dremel, it’s just that I don’t want a new battery platform. Great review!

[@CorneliusCreations]

I understand completely! Thank you sir!

[@debandmike3380]

works with bosch batteries which I have many of. my 8220 did not.

[@boddlook]

how long does a battery last? That's what always makes me not like cordless. But the power is impressive!

[@CorneliusCreations]

That depends on how heavy the job is. For light duty applications on a full charge the app says it is around 28 minutes and around 16 minutes or more for heavy duty applications. But keep in mind, Most people will use this tool in small "spurts". This is 100% more battery life than the previous cordless version! I ABUSED this thing and it still had around 2 minutes left. And the video you saw was edited for time! No complaints on the time for me.

[@sn3dg3r]

Great demo - thanks! That is just what I need, rather than buying loads of single purpose tools all over again - no room to store tools in my flat. Was about to buy a set of wood chisels to sort out an issue with my front door lock being hard to turn when the weather warms up. Cheers!

It is a very capable machine!

[@marcoaldrovandi8057]

I've been looking for a Dremel rotary tool for more than 2 weeks, but what makes me totally undecided is whether I should buy it corded or cordless. I know, it all depend on the use, but other than the few jobs I'm planning, I actually really don't know how and what other jobs I will be using it. About 8260 I like so much the brushless motor, while I really don't like the "smart" side... while about the corded I obviously like the non-stop work that I'll be able to carry out... as also the flexible accessory that comes with the platinum box... aaaaah which one to chose when you are so much undecided?

[@Inverts4Introverts]

I really enjoy my dremel 3000 with the flex shaft. but It doesn't move as I am a wood carver and it stays at my station.

[@luisinhoens90]

you can get a Brushless cordless Dremel w/o the Bluetooth. It's the 8250. Personally I'm getting the 8240 (Brushed motor) because I'm paying under $100 for it with a 2Ah battery and accessories. Since I have 2 additional Bosch 12V batteries I think that will be enough for my needs. If you don't have any existing Dremel/Bosch batteries than I'd say go corded or plan on getting a 2nd battery

[@legallyfree2955]

I have both a corded and cordless rotary tool (neither Dremel, but similar types of thing), I have used my corded rotary tool exactly 0 times since getting the cordless one. That said if you have one work bench and your going to use it all the time and just leave it plugged in then in that circumstance I would use a corded one. I too hate bluetooth in everything.

[@sudoboat]

Corded. Batteries die, explode and discharge over time. Unless you plan using it in the middle of a forest, go with corded. And even then you'd be better off buying an external 110vac-capable battery pack that can be used with other corded devices.

[@siamaklighvani3951]

Corded has some advantages and some disadvantages, the advantage is that you are not getting limited on the life of the battery. The disadvantage is that the cord is somehow on your way which may irritate us. I prefer corded with brushless motor.

[@kimpoeun2755]

Man that was an awesome review. Liked and subscribed. I also picked mine up yesterday. Thanks for the review.

[@markg3305]

I love tech, and I love tools. However Bluetooth in a hand held tool is about the most useless thing I have honestly ever heard of.

[@piepflitze788]

I am not sure… maybe they aren’t selling that much? I know after the 8260 was released there was a lot of negative feedback on the smart features. (After the main marketing manager left, they dropped me like I was hot and made some choices on social media I didn’t necessarily agree with. I have no idea what’s going on with them these days)

[@siamaklighvani3951]

Sometimes we have one idea , having Dremel with so many bits will make our dreams to come true very fast , but not having it still we make our design but very very slow and may ruin our work . That is the advantage of Dremel. I love to see Dremel using bigger shaft and longer , but safe as well .

[@Maikel1500]

Well that’s a lot of Dremel accessoires, seems that Dremel knows to find you. I did miss te realtime states from the app the thing that makes it so much more expensive i mean special.

[@phurtomp5718]

I wondered the same thing and found this guy (Tools Explained) has a more technical comparison between a couple of Dremels and other brands you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHjPhqealL2Cm6s

[@elchanangreenfield5263]

It sounds like the main advantage of the smart aspect is the app that comes with it.

[@AngryGumball]

Curious to see what times I get on this - I've recently got into making fishing lures and use the dremel for light sanding/shaping and on such a small piece, lower RPMs are the way to go. Sadly, I killed my 8220 when I went to use it for a slightly heavier-duty task on a hot day. This model is also so much quieter with it's brushless motor, at least on those lower RPMs.

[@LogsCarvingClub]

Im really curious as well. I have the 4300, 8220, & dremel lite, but I pretty much never use the 8220 since if I'm at my work bench I'll just plug in the 4300, and if I need a small task done elsewhere the lite works fine. I want to know if the 8260 is worth it if I don't need to be away from an outlet. I also wonder why they wouldn't make an equivalent corded option.

Hi Douglas, the only difference is the packaging. The 225-01 is packaged in a clamshell and the 225-02 is packaged in a carton box. There is no difference in the attachment or kit content. Both the 225-01 and 225-02 are compatible with the 8260.

It's worth noting that if you use a flex shaft you can be as heavy handed as you want, it's the flex shaft that will bust Dremel is going to be fine. It's almost like an added layer of insurance! Of course nothing is guaranteed

[@cebuanostud]

Can one use this Dremel as electric screw driver just for sh*t n gig?

Nah, it sucks for that. Rotary tools are per principle high speed and low torque. Quite literally the opposite of what you want for an electric screwdriver

@@CorneliusCreations very cool, I just wanted to check in because I also got me a quick change chuck to go with my 7350 and I'll be getting me a new key also for my stylo when I pick it up as well.

[@james10739]

I think a transmission would be helpful because I feel like 15,000 rpm with basically double the torque would be good

[@ryankozak99]

The mantra "let the speed do the work" applies here. More torque is only needed if rpm is lost when under load. This tool maintained rpm. The brushless motor uses a speed controller which likely pumps more amps to keep the speed up as needed (and reduces amps when not under load to save battery). A transmission would be louder, bigger, heavier, less reliable, less efficient, and more expensive.

[@Paedrick]

I have the Dremel 8220. It is an absolute powerhouse and I use the flex shaft as well. I enjoy carving in the desert. It's quiet and peaceful. This tool as spoiled me. I don't like the LED's or the app connectivity of the 8260. I just don't like that kind of crap on my tools

[@CorneliusCreations]

Does your 8220 also vibrate between 20.000 and 25.000 rpm ??

[@Paedrick]

@@martinblenstrup366 I run it around 20k rpm. I hang mine from a comfortable hieght and use the flex shaft. I try not to bend the shaft too much that's why it all hangs from above me.

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...
