It is growing on me [Posted on 2007-11-18] At first when I got this dremel, I thought this is just no good, however for certain applications, this is an amazing little tool. It does not have the power to do heavy duty applications, but for lighter duty work, this tool is actually pretty comfortable, it is just a matter of rethinking the old dremel stereotype, no more hand cramping for me. The battery is long lasting and the charging cradle is convenient.
what took them so long? [Posted on 2007-12-21] nice takes a little getting used to but when you do make you think what took them so long to come up with this!
Perfect for modelers [Posted on 2008-01-27] I build model cars for a hobby, and have always had some type of Dremel tool on hand, but until the Stylus came along, none were just right for me. They were either too big and powerful for the detail work I do, or the battery would not hold a charge long enough. And few would slow down to a speed suitable for plastics. The Stylus, with its long-life battery and variable speeds, is perfect for plastic modeling. The shape is easier to hold, also, and allows more fine control. The handy charging stand is also great, and it automatically shuts off when the battery is fully charged, something I wish my electric razor would do. The unit is quieter than others I have used, and it has a precision feel to it that gives me confidence when working with close tolerances. I've been modeling for 50 years, and finally there is a tool that meets my needs. It was worth the wait.
Compact and Excellent tool [Posted on 2008-02-20] This is a great addition to any tool set. It fits comfortably in your hands and can be used for very fine detail work or work where precision is a must. My first task when I got it was to grind and cut out some epoxy putty on a wall right next to some trim (don't ask). I was concerned that my older corded dremel would make this task nearly impossible with its shape and the cord tugging at the tool at just the wrong moments. With this tool I felt completely in control the entire time I used it. It had more than enough power to both grind (using a drum sander and a grinder) and cut using one of the new EZ Lock wheels (wide diameter, finally). I was able to get complete control over the tool and never had to fight it to get exactly the result I wanted.
This is a great evolution to the Dremel design and I would highly recommend it for light to medium use. Heavy cutting I would still leave to the corded units due to their higher RPM and torque.
Also, buy the Dremel Chuck. It will save you tons of time unscrewing and switching collets.
Overall the stylus is a great tool where fine control and precision are required. And it looks like a phaser from classic Star Trek. How can you go wrong?
Possibly the perfect tool [Posted on 2008-02-22] I own this tool and bought one for my Dad, too. It is small, easy to hold, and has an incredible battery life. As hard as I might look, I can not find a single negative about this new version of the Dremel.
