Amazon.com Review
Built for the do-it-yourselfer, Dremel's cordless MultiPro kit delivers the versatility you expect from a Dremel--with the added advantage of being cordless. Lightweight at only 9 ounces, this compact unit maneuvers comfortably in tight spaces. What will you use it for? Remove old grout in your bathtub, polish your flatware, remove a broken tile, etch glass, hang miniblinds, cut out a pet door, install a new car stereo, sand off a spot of hard-to-reach rust, clean your boat's outboard engine parts, refinish ornate woodwork, install a mortise lock, and much, much more. The kit comes with 50 bits, including a high-speed cutter, a bristle brush, a cutoff wheel, sanding discs, a felt polishing wheel, a grinding wheel, and more--all the tools you need to tackle projects around the home. The tool's ball-bearing shaft affords minimal vibration. The shaft-lock button and unique knurled collet nut make changing bits easy, too, with no wrench required. A three-hour battery charger and a carrying case are included. --Jon Groebner

Very handy, but not for every application
This is an incredibly useful tool, and I've found the selection of attachments which accompanies it to be quite good. I bought this to use on a boat and I've found a million things to repair I didn't know needed a Dremel tool! It cuts and grinds stainless steel bolts more easily than anything I've seen, never mind bronze, fiberglass, wood, etc.
The battery, though, is what makes it both unique and frustrating. Of course being able to use the tool unfettered by a cord is great, and it does recharge reasonably quickly in about three hours. On the other hand, the motor is not as powerful as the corded variety, and the speed is not continuously variable. I haven't yet found either of these to be a problem. But you cannot get a half-hour of use out of a fully-charged battery. Fifteen minutes is more like it. This is plenty of time to practice home dentistry skills on the dog if you are so inclined, but it means that unless you have a battalion of extra batteries at $26 a pop you will not be able to grind out all the grout in your bathroom, cut more than ten ceramic tiles, or buzz off more than a few square inches of rust from your car from a single charge. If you are buying the tool for those sorts of projects you need the corded flavor.
Extremely useful gadget
I have a line powered Dremel but I most often grab for this rechargeable unit because its easier to handle without the cord. It is great for tight spots in the car. I recently upgraded the intercooler piping in my car and needed to enlarge a 2" hole to 3" diameter. I just used the cordless Dremel to make numerous radial cuts and bent the "tabs" back. I would have gone nuts trying to cut that out with a hack saw or file! I always use it at the full 15 krpm speed and don't miss a variable control at all.
My friend lost his special "antitheft" key wrench for his license plate mounting bolts. I just used a cut-off wheel to make two cross cuts in the (round) bolt heads, and unscrewed it with a Phillips head screwdriver. Without a Dremel, it would have been tough.
The battery life is short, but I always have an extra charged battery ready. If I'm working with it alot, I just rotate the batteries through the separate wall mounted recharger.
It can also be used as a printed circuit drill or for other small precise drilling. Much easier to handle than a typical hand drill for light work.
It does kick up some metal bits so use eye protection!
The right tool for pet grooming
If you were frustrated with the power or endurance of the Dremel Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool-- (http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-761-03-Cordless-Grooming-Rotary/dp/B0000C6DZ2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2958210-2482411?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1188235101&sr=8-2),
I've got the tool for you. This one uses a rechargeable battery and has excellent power. I've got a 100 lb. German Shepherd with huge nails and he does NOT like to get his nails trimmed. This tool did the job fast, no worries about cutting too deep with a clipper, and the battery charge lasts a long time.
One caution is that the rotary sander will generate a fair amount of heat, so don't work one nail too long or it will get uncomfortable for the dog. It's worth the extra money for this tool and you don't have to feel bad about running through all those AA's.
