Some products are so successful their brand names become synonymous with the category—Kleenex for facial tissues, for example, or Band-Aid for bandages. A Dremel is one of those items: Nobody asks for a “rotary cutting tool,” they just ask for a Dremel. Right now, you can get one of the brand’s iconic cordless models on Amazon for over $60 off, but only for a limited time.
The Dremel 12V Lithium-Ion Variable Speed Cordless Rotary Tool (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?) is on sale for just $85, a sizable 43% discount from its usual price of $150. This powerful and versatile tool can perform a huge range of tasks using Dremel’s array of attachments (some included in this kit, others sold separately), and the kit includes everything you need to get started. It’s a popular pick—this model is the No. 2 bestselling rotary tool on Amazon—and over 3,000 were sold in the last month alone.

The Dremel 8250-5 is the brand’s most powerful cordless rotary tool. It features a 12-volt, 3Ah lithium-ion battery for superior runtime, and its brushless motor is capable of operating at 5,000 to 30,000 rpm, giving you incredible precision and control for all kinds of jobs. This kit includes five attachments, a battery, a charger, and a carry case, and the 8250-5 is compatible with the full lineup of Dremel attachments to handle a wide range of jobs, like cutting, grinding, sanding, polishing, and more. Dremel’s EZ-Twist Nose Cap makes swapping between attachments a cinch, so you can use this device for a ton of tasks—no need to invest in a bunch of hyper-specialized tools.
Amazon shoppers report this cordless Dremel is a home run. It’s reliable, powerful, and super easy to use. “As a long-time Dremel user, this is the best model I’ve used to date,” said one. “Great performance with no power cord!” Another agreed saying, “Plenty of speed and power for my needs.”
Another shopper called it “a high-quality rotary tool with a very long-lasting battery.”
This Dremel rotary tool gives you the legendary performance Dremel brand tools are known for in a convenient cord-free package—not to mention a full kit including battery, charger, and attachments. Getting your hands on one of these bestselling tools for just $85 is a stellar deal, but don’t wait: These machines are flying out of Amazon warehouses, and the discount won’t last much longer.
