Is this a good tool kit For 4*60 kit builds or so?


Required a cordless one, don’t have conditions for corded have to use it outside.
is 7.2v enough?
is that assortment enough?
Does any body have this particular model: dremel 7700

It cost $50, should I go for better one?
I built planes from kits without it, this tool should make it faster, just directing my wife to the right gifts for me…

If you require cordless that is going to have to be it.

my mom has one of those for tile. ya that should be fine for lots of building material

I got one of the newer lithium ion Dremel Stylus. It's much better and the battery lasts much longer. It's mostly replaced my old corded with flex cable setup.

The other is the Dremel 8000 LiIon.

Either one of these will be much better than the 7700 Multi Pro and I think they are well worth the extra cost.

I would recommend a Corded model because I hate having batteries die in the middle of something,but if you need to go cordless(it will have alot of advantages too)...then that is a nice dremel. About the only bits I need for mine are the cutoff wheels,small and large sanding drums,the 1/8 drill bit and one more thing I dont see in your kit......see below,its a must have!

The dremel itself is a must have for r/c modeling.

If you have to have a cordless then consider the Lithium 10 volt model. You'll find the model you listed as lacking in battery run time and power. I have the Lithium model and it still drives me crazy when it runs out and I have to recharge. Every Dremel I buy in the future will have cord on it. If you need one at the field consider a corded model and use an inverter in your vehicle to provide AC power for it.

10.8 volt it will be

RE: Is this a good tool kit?
 

I'm trying to think what I actually use my Dremel for in kit building. I use a wire wheel to clean up solder joints. I use a sanding drum for shaping and smoothing cowl openings, and I use a reenforced cut-off wheel for cutting piano wire. That's about it. A hacksaw, a chainsaw file, a rat-tailed file and a wire brush could replace the Dremel for me.

For most kits I'd rather have a good razor saw and miter box, a razor plane, a set of metric and standard Allen wrenches and various size screwdrivers (00, 0, 1 & 2 Phillips and long standard screwdrivers), and an assortment of sanding blocks.

I have three corded ones and one is 40 years old.

Buy a corded variable speed one.

RE: Is this a good tool kit?
 

My needs from this tool is to cut servo trays, slots, epoxy corner cleanups, round file and cut offs.
Its got to be cordless this time, would get a corded later on.
Forgetting to charge them consistently so it looks like the 10.8V will be my choice.

Thanks

My mom has the lithium and she loves it, she uses it to trim the dogs nails:eek:

Like Charlie said, you COULD live without one, but I sure wouldn't WANT to!

Two tips about a dremel...

There are two different types of cut-off wheels. One is a thin, hard, stone disc, and the other is a fiberglass disc that is impregnated with an abrasive. Throw the stone discs away - they are very brittle and can shatter - flinging fragments in every direction at very high speeds. The fiberglass wheels work better and are MUCH safer!!!

Second tip - get a few of these cutters. They look like a drill, but they cut sideways
