What customers say about "Key Specs"

Dremel 7700-1/15 Cordless Rotary Tool Kit

This new model is exceptionally quite and can do both dogs nails in minutes. I can run this model on low speed and still cut through nails with ease.
Has high and low speed which is also a plus. The slower speed can be used for softer nails and in the early stages of training them to let you grind the nails.
The 2 speeds are nice since he lets me do his back feet no problem, I use low speed there and take my time shortening and shaping.
The highest speed is probably between low and medium on a corded one however it is perfect for their nails.
The Hi and Lo never worked correctly. Now seems to be only one speed and sometimes it will stop or start on its own because the battery doesn't seem to fit tight enough..

Dremel 8220-1/28 Cordless Rotary Tool

Separate power and variable speed switch. Variable from 5-30k.
EZ twist collet lock (no need to carry around wrench).
It has low level variable speeds which are very nice for especially slow and deliberate work.
I like this unit for the power/speed, which is fully adjustable via a slider switch.
I use this at work to grind dog's nails. I am able to set the speed where I need it and then turn the tool on/off at the separate switch. This is a huge time saver!

What customers say about "Features"

Dremel 7700-1/15 Cordless Rotary Tool Kit

This Dremel works very well. I hadn't used a Dremel before. It took me a bit to figure out how to get the bit I needed attached as its a little different than a basic drill, but it all worked out.
Great little tool (comes with quite a number of attachments "in the box"), and furthermore, additional types of tools are available, both on Amazon and down at the local home improvement store.
I love that this tool came with so many other attachments and that I'll be able to use the Dremel for other projects. I highly recommend this!
You have every possible tip and attachment you could ever need. This is really a fine tool.
The resistance behind the speed selector lever is so unbalanced that it hardly ever works to operate it with one finger.

Dremel 8220-1/28 Cordless Rotary Tool

Takes all of the dremel attachments unlike some of the smaller models.
Handy case that stores the 8220 and many more accessories.
Quick release collar is new and great feature, no more wrench to chase down.
One of the best feature is that it fits all my Dremel accessories.
The only bad point is the carrying case: I wish the case were a bit more flexible in allowing more accessories to be stored with it.

What customers say about "Power"

Dremel 7700-1/15 Cordless Rotary Tool Kit

The battery on this didn't last nearly as long as I was hoping--- only about 30min, and I'd say not even half of that was at high speed.
Good to have the cordless feature and makes it versatile for small jobs around the house
Pretty weak on the power. However, to be expected from battery powered tool. The cordless feature is super convenient though.
We purchased this due to the cordless feature. This Dremel is wonderful we just wish it included more cutting wheels.
It's a dremel - what more can I say - the cordless feature is very convenient

Dremel 8220-1/28 Cordless Rotary Tool

Plenty of torque and speed for grinding large dog nails. Don't waste your money on the cheaper lover voltage ones that bog down under the slightest load.
12 volt separate battery and charger incase you want to have additional batteries. It is a quick charging battery taking about 1 hour.
Best feature is the removable battery. I can always have one on charge while I'm using it.
The battery holds a charge for a long time, and is fast charging.
I wonder if I got a dud for a battery. I can only do about 20 minutes on a medium speed before the battery dies. I am not impressed.
