Customer Review:

great accessory

The first reviewers complaint is like saying cd's suck because you have a turntable! He can actually get an accessory to attach to his "old" Wave to use these bits.

This kit replaces the screwdriver style bit driver and hex insert set I used to carry in my kit. Knowing I got it all there is great. I only wish they would sell replacements piece by piece in case of loss or damage.

Does not fit the 'old' WAVE

I was unimpressed with the two nylon carriers the bits sit in, and the bits themselves are kind of flattened

Leatherman introduced a new model of the Wave with a builtin tool adapter rather than giving a new tool a new name, with the result that I received this as a gift that I cannot use.

minuses for the bad product description, the cheapness of the carrier, and the terible amazon customer service over this.

Dremel 8000-01 10.8 Volt Lithium-Ion 5,000 - 35,000 RPM Cordless Rotary Tool

Remember how cool we all thought that first Dremel was? We're reliving the feeling with this one: lighter, faster, smarter, better, and stronger. The main improvement over the last generation is the battery source: lithium-ion. There are so many reasons to applaud. Lithium holds its charge up to six times longer in storage than nickel-cadmium batteries, so it's ready when you are. Remember the disappointment when you were ready and your battery was low? That won't happen with this one. It's got a battery fuel gauge that tells you how much life is left before a recharge, so you won't be caught without your Dremel, and if you choose to keep it on its charger, you won't cause memory and shorten the charge capacity. It's small, it's light, it's comfortable and maneuverable; it's everything the corded models are, but without the cord. We love it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Review:

Not impressed

I am not impressed in the least with the 8000-01 model. I have been using dremel's for a number of years now and this is the first one I have purchased.

I am a service tech and do alot of traveling for repairs. I work on a lift or high on a ladder so extension cords are troublesome and possibly dangerous. Most of the places I go have limited outlet availability so the cordless model seemed perfect for me. I have used it less than 2 months and the speed guage is already malfunctioning, the battery lasts about 30 mins at best and it takes 3 hours to charge. I was going to purchase a spare battery but the average price I could find is $45 compared to $70 I paid for the tool. Not very cost effective in my book.

Great for beadmakers!

I love my new cordless Dremel. Put a diamond drill bit in there and I take it along to bead shows. When I need to adjust a bead hold, Viola! All I need is a cup of water. It also comes in handle cleaning out bead release. To me, it is worth its weight in gold.
Thanks to Amazon I found it and at a great price too!

Nice....but

I've used Dremel tools for years, but never actually owned one, so this year, after taking up RC airplane building as a hobby (Dad really wanted a boy ;-) ), I decided to go with the Li-Ion Model 8000. The Li-Ion technology is incredible, plenty of power, no memory effect, keeps it's charge...just about perfect.

One of the reasons I went with a Dremel was the attachments, here's where the disappointment comes in...many of the attachments don't fit this model (I hope I can add the word "yet"). So if you're ordering this and it's your only Dremel, make certain the attachment says it fits the 8000...don't assume, like I did, that there is backwards compatibility...there isn't. I learned this the hard way with both router table and hand-held router.

If you're considering this, an incredibly handy addition is the chuck...no more messing with collets...hooray! Also, you'd be wise to buy the 145 piece accessory kit, it adds a lot more versatility in cutting, shaping, and grinding.

All said, this is one of my favorite tools...now if Dremel would make some cool accessories that fit it, I'd be giving this five stars, rather than four!

Customer Review:

not bad

These work allright but aren't the best made guide bushings out there. They're made up of 2 pieces pressed together kind of like a rivet. They're ok, but not heavy duty. The Porter Cable type guide bushings are a little beefier & made with thicker metal. What I ended up using was just the PC adapter (available by itself at any wood working store), a set of PC guide bushings (available anywhere) & a centering pin. Make sure to close the lever tight on the Bosch template adapter, otherwise it can move around & the bit won't be centered in the bushing. Personally I find these reviews very helpful & want to say thanks to the people who write them. They can definitely save us some time, money & headaches. If you have an opinion on a product I encourage you to put it in writing. Happy wood working!!

Don't forget the PC Adapter!

This is a great set of the most common sized template guides. They come in a nice, sturdy case that has room for 3 extra guides should you buy another size. What's great about these adapters is that they snap into your Bosch router - quick and easy and they stay in place.

However, the REAL selling point of this guide set is that it comes with the RA1100 threaded guide adapter. This adapter allows you to use Porter-Cable template guides in a Bosch Router. Many reviewers complain when they buy a PC dovetail jig or inlay kit that comes with a PC template guide, that it doesn't fit in their router...One guy hemmed and hawed that he had to create a custom baseplate for his Bosch router so that he could use his PC template guide! There's an easier way! It's the RA1100. It too snaps into the router just like a template guide, but it's slot is just the right size to fit threaded guides from PC. It's the ultimate in versatility.
Great guide set, but the PC adapter makes it a must own.

simple template changes

I have recently purchaed a Bosch router and love it. It came with the adapter for these templates and they make changing different sizes a snap. No locking collar, just essentially snap them in and your ready to do dovetails, follow patterns, etc.
