Cordless Design for Easy Portability
Thanks to its cordless design, the 8000-03 is ultra portable. It goes where you go, and it offers the flexibility to handle whatever project you dream up. Measuring 9.25 inches long and weighing just 14 ounces, it's lightweight and easy to maneuver. In short, it offers all the convenience of a corded model without the hassle of a cord.
Lithium-Ion Battery for Long-Lasting Power
To help ensure reliable, long-term performance, the 8000-03 utilizes lithium-ion battery technology. The high capacity 10.8-volt battery provides an extended run-time--holding its charge up to six times longer than nickel-cadmium batteries--up to two years in storage, so it's always ready when you need it. For added convenience, the battery power gauge on the tool lets you know when it's time to recharge, and you can store the battery on its included charger without shortening its charge capacity.
Variable Speed for Optimum Precision and Control
The 8000-03 is a variable-speed tool, which means you can select the right speed from 5,000 to 35,000 RPMs to match both the job and the accessory.
Versatile Performance for Unlimited Uses
Incredibly versatile, the 8000-03 has the strength to handle a range of household, vehicle, and crafting jobs. And thanks to the 40 included accessories, your imagination is the only limit to what this compact powerhouse can accomplish. Sharpen a chain saw blade, cut through fiberglass, restore model railroad cars, handcraft a bead bracelet and necklace set, complete a complicated robotics project, repair baseboards and window trim, clean a boat engine, and even groom your dog's nails. The 8000-03 can truly do it all.
About Dremel: A History of Brilliance and Innovation
Founded in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin, Dremel is the industry leader in rotary tools. The company owes its success to the inventive genius of its founder and namesake, Albert J. Dremel. In his lifetime, Mr. Dremel owned 55 patents on a wide range of products from electric erasers to a gas-powered rotary lawn mower. His most famous and important invention was a high-speed rotary tool, dubbed the Dremel Moto-Tool. Compact, lightweight, and perfect for a wide range of jobs, the rotary tool was an immediate hit with hobbyists and eventually became accepted as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Today, the Dremel name remains synonymous with utility, durability, and innovation.
What's in the Box
Rotary tool, charger, 40 accessories, carrying case, and instruction manual
Remember how cool we all thought that first Dremel was? We're reliving the feeling with this one: lighter, faster, smarter, better, and stronger. The main improvement over the last generation is the battery source: lithium-ion. There are so many reasons to applaud. Lithium holds its charge up to six times longer in storage than nickel-cadmium batteries, so it's ready when you are. Remember the disappointment when you were ready and your battery was low? That won't happen with this one. It's got a battery fuel gauge that tells you how much life is left before a recharge, so you won't be caught without your Dremel, and if you choose to keep it on its charger, you won't cause memory and shorten the charge capacity. It's small, it's light, it's comfortable and maneuverable; it's everything the corded models are, but without the cord. We love it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Dremel 335-01 Plunge Router Attachment Review
That's where the Dremel 335 comes in. This plunge-router adapter is meant to be used with the Dremel rotary tools (models 400, 398, 395, 300, 285, and 275), which accommodate 1/8-inch diameter bits. If you already own one of these tools, buying the attachment is a great way to get an instant router without having to shell out the extra forty or fifty bucks for a single-purpose machine (that may be too big for what you're doing anyway).
Assembling the attachment is simple: just remove the housing cap from your Dremel, reassemble the collet nut, then place the tool into the router attachment. The tool is secured in the attachment with a mounting nut and wrench (both included).
The attachment features two plunge depths, which are locked in via a rotary hand grip. Setting routing depth can be a little tricky: it's a good idea to practice on scrap until you get a feel for it. The clear base gives you good stability and lets you see exactly what you're doing, as does the narrow profile of the Dremel tool itself. The attachment also includes an adjustable edge guide that works very well.
If you're working on small projects are willing to experiment with the settings, this is the router for you.--Josh Dettweiler

Anyone who's ever used a router understands the satisfaction that a cleanly cut rabbet or mortise can give. But if you're working on small-scale projects, such as jewelry boxes or models, that monster three-horsepower fixed-base router with the 1/2-inch bit is simply overkill. That's where the Dremel 335 comes in. This plunge-router adapter is meant to be used with the Dremel rotary tools (models 400, 398, 395, 300, 285, and 275), which accommodate 1/8-inch diameter bits.
