DREMEL 7300-N/8 4.8V Cordless Two-Speed Rotary Tool Kit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient for small jobs and look forward to using it more.

I bought this years ago, have only had to buy one replacement battery. It has lasted through 3 dogs and is still going. I couldn't trim my Standard poodles nails without it. This is the perfect tool for all dog owners.

I bought this to trim my dogs nails, I love it! when you clip their nails you get sharp points and you can just dremel them smooth. Also you can keep up with filing the nails.

I purchased a new Dremel because I could no longer maintain a charge on my old unit. My new purchase has exceeded my expectations. Very pleased with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dremel 7300-N/5 4.8V arrived while I was out of state and I could not wait to get home and test this new tool. I have always been a Dremel fan and hoped this new more compact cordless model would find a good place in my tool chest. I put the Mini Mite through several tests. I used it to drill small holes to hang pictures, to polish up an old piece of jewelry, to sand off sharp edges on a new appliance and several other small chores around the house. I found the Mini to be a great fit for these types of daily jobs. Small and compact enough to stick in my pocket and get small jobs done that normally I might have to put off until I had time to dig out a larger tool. A definite plus to finishing small tasks that otherwise might not get done in a day. I then moved on to some larger tasks like carving, grinding and sanding. I found the Mini to be light and small enough in the hand that I neither got tired or hand cramps from prolonged use. I still found the unit to be a bit awkward for me in tight places but that is a personal preference. When doing finer detail work, I prefer a smaller pen-like unit which I have greater control over. Prolonged use did eat up the battery charge more quickly, especially at higher speed but that was expected and easily remedied if you have a couple of spare batteries fully charged and on hand. Given how small and compact this unit is, I would definitely pick up extra batteries and a case. I would not hesitate to throw it in my car or bag to take with me for both my carving hobby and any emergency uses that may pop up. While I found the two speed limitation a bit frustrating, it certainly did all the small jobs I threw at it with no complaints. When working on my carvings, or other small projects, I prefer more control over speed to ensure I do not damage anything, and that is another personal preference. Charging is easy with the direct plug-in charger and small batteries and charging time is normal. Larger projects wore the batteries out more quickly and could be harder on the motor if I pressed too hard. I err on the side of caution with all my tools, so when I feel I am pushing the limits of a tool, I switch to a larger more powerful model and conserve the tools for their best uses. I am glad to have had the opportunity to try this new compact rotary tool. It's a great addition to my larger corded model. I can now finish up many projects and repairs more quickly and efficiently. If you have a lot of small things to do around your home, I highly recommend this compact Dremel Mini Mite. It's certainly a welcome tool to my workbench!
