7700 Series 7.2-Volt NiCad Dual Speed Cordless Multi-Pro Rotary Tool Kit with 15 Accessories and 1 Attachment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you only plan on buying one Dremel tool, the Dremel 7700 7.2V two-speed rotary tool is the one to buy. This is by far the most versatile and easy-to-use Dremel tool I have ever operated. It’s cordless and lightweight, which makes it easy to grab and take anywhere you need to go. But its battery is long lasting and powerful enough to get most small- to medium-sized jobs done without recharging. I have worked with Dremel tools for variety of projects, and I’m fairly well versed in many of their uses. But I decided to test drive the 7700 model for something I had never used a Dremel before – sharpening garden tools. I expected this job to take maybe half an hour at max, but I had two sets of bypass pruners, two sets of hand bypass cutters, and two sets of lopping shears sharpened in less than 10 minutes. Yes, there was a bit of a learning curve (I occasionally went off the edge – as you can tell by the before-and-after pictures), but within seconds these tools had a sharper edge on them than they had when they were purchased! The battery power held up very well for this job, too. There was no noticeable loss of power from the first tool until the last. Two things to note. If you do use this as a sharpening tool, you MUST wear eye protection - the sparks can be impressive. Also, I’m not a big fan of the garden tool sharpener. It was designed to hold the Dremel at the proper angle for an optimum edge. But it didn’t work well with the curved blades of the bypass pruners, so I just “eyeballed” the edge with a grinding wheel, which worked just fine. Unless you’re doing a lot of in-place, heavy duty grinding, sanding, or drilling (think carving rocks for jewelry), forget about buying a corded Dremel and go for the cordless 7700. You’ll be glad for its versatility (it comes with a nice set of accessories for lots of different jobs), durability and, most of all, ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have found that cords can be a little distracting when your out working in the yard or even a distance from a working electrical socket. I found the solution, the Dremel 7700-1/15 7.2 volt Multi Pro Cordless, yes I said cordless. This new Dremel tool with the rechargeable battery solves that issue nicely. I had some work to do on my shed outside, the walls were buckling from the ground shifting and didn't want a long clunky extension cord attached to me power tool getting in my way. I grabbed my new Dremel and I didn't think it could get easier. I used it to drill the started holes for new screws, I also used the sander attachment to remove the rust from the door hinges and other metal work. It was fast and simple. The battery charges in less than 3 hours and lasts at least twice that. When I first got my new Dremel it has something unbelievable in the box, unbelievable for a cordless tool that is. It came with an attachment to sharpen lawn mower blades and I just had to try it. It worked pretty good for a cordless, took a little longer but the edge was back to specs, totally surprised me. This is a great little yet powerful tool for your DIY arsenal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a "Must Have," tool for everyday use. This Dremel comes with a sharpening guide, to easily sharpen your gardening shears. The Cordless Dremel is small and light-weight, making it easy to use for long hours, without tiring out your wrist and hands. This is, especially, beneficial for smaller people and women. The compact size of the Dremel, fits into my Dremel workbox. This workbox, goes with me to many Craft Shows. Since the Cordless Dremel is so versatile, it has become my "go-to" tool. The Dremel has two settings, Hi and Low. The high speed is very powerful for a quick job. The low speed had just the right amount of power to complete a long, delicate, silversmithing project, from start to finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out the Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool 7700-1/15 7.2 V to make a wood flute fetish block for a Native American Wood Flute. I found that the 7700 Rotary Tool was very light weight & easy to use for doing the carving of the wood block, and with the 2 speeds worked great, and i think the finished project i choose to test it out on came out great!!

the overall is good but when it reaches the top speed it doen't work properly and vibrates. Good for small repairs thou!

The 7700 was great for small jobs at first, but my battery no longer holds a charge. The tool is now useless.

I bought the Dremel 7700 about 2 years ago and for the first year and a half it worked great! I LOVED IT!! Then about 6 months ago the battery won't charge right but I can't tell if it is the battery that is bad or if it is the charger that is bad. I use this a couple times a month so this is hard when it only works for about 2 minutes and then then it dies. I would greatly appreciate any help with trying to figure out how to tell if it is the battery or the battery charger that is bad. Such a shame that this is happening when the product was once great!

I literally used this for about 10 minutes. When I charged the battery overnight, it worked for about 2 minutes and only on the slow speed. Then shut down. So I can only use it on slow speed for 2 minutes at a time, and then charge it for 8 hours!?! No thank you. I will never purchase another Drexel again.

Barely used it and battery crapped out on me. Would be useful otherwise.

I've had this tool for a few years. I have another corded Dremel tool but I bought this for occasional use. My other Dremel recently stopped working so I reached for this. The battery was flat and I plugged in the charger but it wouldn't charge the battery - no light on the charger. I probably got a total of an hour's use out of this thing over the last few years so it really was a huge waste of money.
