Dremel 8200 on amazon (2 battery)

[xcgates]

I have a few projects that could benefit from a dremel, and I have my eye on the 8200.

Except that Amazon has the thing listed as shipping in 1-2 months. I took it off my current order, and will call them on Sunday, but what's up with that?

I should clarify that I want the one with two batteries, and that I'm pretty sure I saw it good to go a while back.

Seems like a pretty good deal. Anyone know how long the batteries last with continuous use?

Better off getting a Proxxon.

Proxxon tools look cool, but doesn't look like they have a cordless option?

I am planning corded circular saw merely because they draw so much power, but for things like this, it would be simpler to not be stuck to an outlet. Namely my garage has few outlets, and I would not be surprised if in a couple years I'd be back to working in a parking lot. (move a lot)

Where I use to work we used the cordless version daily, and the batteries held up well. I have been wanting one of these for home but wanted a corded version since it wouldn't be used much. Sounds like the cordless would work better in your situation.

Yes they do, you just have to know where to look...

They used to have a portable one a few months back.

Might try an email.

Reviewed the 8200 a few months ago. Fantastic tool. Amazon had a $10 off $125 Dremel promo, or something to that effect recently. I imagine that they had low stock and sold out quick. Usually they'll put a 1-2 month ETA on items that they know will be restocked somewhat soon.
