Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I'm guessing there is limited stock, but the "Amazon renewed" Dremel 4000 Series 28 Piece 1.6A Corded Electric Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit is about $55. It might be worth considering for some. Fewer accessories but a more powerful motor at a similar price.

How strange and bizarre...so much hate for the battery operated versions of Dremel? This type of fake news comes from delusional unprofessional hobbyists. I have been a General Contractor and in the building trade for over 50 years. I often have the need to use the Dremel tools.
I owned and used a corded version of the Dremel tool for over 30 years. Got a lot of mileage out of that tool! But I would NEVER go back to a corded Dremel tool.
I presently own 3 of the cordless Dremel tools. 8200's and the 8250's. It doesn't get much better! Living on a ranch, being an amateur radio operator, a remote control drone and airplane builder/operator, a computer builder, etc. I constantly have projects that require a Dremel tool. Often, I need to use a Dremel tool where there is no electricity [example: sharpening chain saw chains out in the forest].
Some of the finest detailed work actually require a cordless Dremel tool because the cord can drag/catch up and ruin the project!
Finally, all this boloney about batteries running out of power all the time? That is a total fairy tail! The newest 8250 have brushless motors and over 100% greater battery life...and I rarely ran out of battery power when using the much older 8200.
I have used battery operated Dremel tools for over an hour and they didn't even slow down on the RPM's. Best of all, using a cordless Dremel tool is much, much easier.
Flush the fake news down the toilet people!
I will NEVER go back to using a corded Dremel tool!

Been wanting for something like this. Thoughts on spending a bit more and going cordless? I mainly will be using this on non metal stuffa
Please see my post above. Don't listen to or believe the fake news that cordless Dremel tools aren't good. They are MUCH better than the corded versions. After 50+ years of using Dremel tools, often on a daily basis, believe me when I say these cordless Dremel tool haters are totally delusional!
Been looking for a Dremel to start carving and polishing stones. There are too many options and I don't know which one to pick! Anyone know if this is a good model for a beginner?
I suggest you consider saving the money and purchasing the 8250. It can't be beat and it is a marvelous investment that will last you for the rest of your life! Replacement batteries [I have had to replace some of my batteries after 10 years] are super inexpensive [under $20] and will have you another 10+ years.

Cordless is preferred 90% of the time. Although I had a project where I used a cutting wheel to cut a metal sink drain and cordless was underpowered or low on power and I had to pull out the corded version and it sliced right through it. Corded is also annoying, you know, with the cord.

Yes great for beginners. If you are going to do carving id probably go for a cordless model with a removable/replaceable battery. Can always try and return corded if it bothers u
Lol love that you went from asking for basic advice to offering confident-sounding advice in the span of 5 hours
Noob question here, Why would I want this if I already own a metabo screwdriver/drill with adjustable torque and that is 1/4 so can take a lot of accesories?
Drill operates at a much lower speed about 1000-2000 rpm more or less, the rotary tool operates at 10000 rpm or more which is necessary for cutting or grinding.
Another example of Green Party insanity. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about!
I actually own both corded AND cordless rotary tools, and I can absolutely comment on them.
Unless you have a justifiable need for light-duty, short-runtime, ewaste-prone cordless...you're better off buying a corded model. Cheaper, more powerful, and longer lifespan. But hey, you spend your money as you see fit.
Though, I don't understand why you had to negatively reference a mental health condition ("insanity") when it came to a dremel deal.
menards Master force version of this comes with the dextrous handheld pen/pencil style tool control and many other goodies Can hook the bottom metal ring into a stand and it makes it really great to use that pencil form facter rotary. It's infinitely variable speed setting. Dremel charges and arm and a leg for everything.
that said if you want better contyrol less frustation, pick up one of these babies below:
I own a corded dremel. My wife actually wanted one years ago so I bought a kit for her. Fast forward thru the years and we EASILY got our money's worth even with just OCCASIONAL use as those uses saved us a lot of money or time or both.
I recently bought a pre-wired Fender Strat pickguard to save some time on swapping pickups AND to preserve the original pickguard, electronics, and pickups in original condition (resell guitar later or just sell off that pre-loaded pickguard for some cash back). The original pickguard has a little notch for the thumbwheel truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck. The preload pickguards don't have this notch, certainly not in the ones I was most interest in. What to do? Forego the convenience of a preloaded pickguard and preservation of the old one in original condition? Nope. Buy the new pickguard and carefully measure and then cut the notch needed into the new pickguard. Worked GREAT, however...
The cord was a pain in the a** to deal with because it's so stiff that it was bothersome trying to maneuver the cutting wheel without the cord being a nuisance. Sure, I got it done, but I assure you I was wishing it was cordless during that specific task.
Just think about your use cases. Corded for more assurance of longevity in case batteries become unavailable after burning thru the one(s) you have or if you have bigger jobs where full power and uninterrupted work is required (probably NOT the ideal use case for this class of dremel, anyways...) OR corded for the convenience of using anywhere you want, when you want, and not being tethered to a physically restricting power cable. Both have their places in a tool box.
get the pencil wand expansion/accessory. gives you alot more length before you're fighting cord twists or accidentallly pulling the plug out of the socket
recently bought a similar rotary tool from harbor freight for less than $10 … used it for grinding cracks on the bath tub & was pleased with how it performed torque wise… was able to grind fiberglass materials before I used JB Marine Weld to seal the cracks/scratches. Seems to be on sale for $7.99 now (have to present online coupon at counter) :

Whereas I have a corded dremel from 30+ years ago, works just as good today as the day I bought it.
