Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this 8220 dremel after buying the 8050 for trimming our dog's nails but wanted a more powerful dremel for other projects around the home. I knew I wanted a cordless dremel, and opted for the 12 volt 8220. My first impression was it is quite a bit bigger and heavier than the 8050. Once I charged the battery and turned it on, I knew it was a beast! I used it to cut off some hard plastic toilet valves (and replaced with SharkBite compression valves) and it cut through them with no problem. I was very impressed with the power and features of this dremel. I am just thinking of all the things I can do around the house now that I have this! Some pros of this model: 1. Cordless power! 2. 12 volt separate battery and charger incase you want to have additional batteries. It is a quick charging battery taking about 1 hour 3. Separate power and variable speed switch. Variable from 5-30k. 4. EZ twist collet lock (no need to carry around wrench) 5. Takes all of the dremel attachments unlike some of the smaller models 6. Handy case that stores the 8220 and many more accessories Overall, I plan to use this dremel a lot for things around the house. I have attached a picture of the 8220 next to my 8050 micro for a size comparison. This was the same price as the smaller model. If you have any thoughts on using the dremel for more than very light usage, I recommend going with the larger model.
