Drooling Over Dremel

We don’t know about you, but we’re pretty psyched here at Street Tech Labs about getting our hands on the new Dremel Stylus tool (US$70). The latest in the Dremel line, this cordless multipurpose rotary tool has a handle for better grip and fmore control when doing precision work. It’s smaller than the last Dremel release (the rather beefy 10.8V cordless), which can be a little unwieldy on some jobs. The Stylus offers a nice happy medium, with a respectable 7.2V Li-on battery and up to 25,000 RPM. The handle grip allows you to hold the Stylus like a pencil, for greater control in situations where you need it, but you can also flip the tool around and hold it like a typical Dremel (for using things like a cut-off wheel where you’d want the wheel to be perpendicular to your cut).

We’ll try to get ahold of an evaluation unit for an in-depth review. Stay tuned…
