Rick Waters
I will begin sculpting custom made tables this fall. Getting into the crevices to shape sand them would really put this cordless Dremel to the test.
Pete
I would use it for:
– Cutting heads off old fasteners when I do remodelling prrojects (next up, old bathroom floor!)
– Regrinding the edgs on my lawnmower blades
– Cutting holes in plastic electronic project boxes for switches and LEDs.
– Cleaning corrosion of old maglite battery springs I find at tag sales
DC
I will use my new Dremel 8200 rotary tool to help me in many ways, including: fix the broken piece of siding on my house (sand and cut the rotted parts); help my friend put up some drywall in her garage (cut out the parts for the outlets in record time!); i will use it to help me polish and carve beads to make quality jewelry to sell; i will use it to shape and carve some of my wood carvings. I could go on and on but needless to say it would be the awesomest of the most awesome to win!
adrian
would be great for finishing off the kids toy boxes
kythri
I’d use it extensively in my modeling. No cord to get in the way and snag/break things would be fantastic!
John Dunn
I’ll put a abrasive cut-off wheel on it and cut the lock off the tool shed in the back yard! Lost the key and all the tools I could use for cutting off the lock are inside the shed.
IndyEngineer
If I won the Lithium Ion Cordless Dremel from ToolGuyd, I would use it at work for filing and grinding strike plates on door jams. I would use it at home for the work I do on knife handles. I would also use it for sharpening tools.
PMuse
I’d use it to start making some custom speaker enclosures I’ve been meaning to get to.
douglas kwan
i will use the dremel to slot stripped screws and to cut cable housings for bikes
Bill Strobel
I would use the tool around the shop and home to clean, polish, grind, and get myself out of the jams that come up when working. This tool could be a lifesaver to cut off rusty nuts, and fasteners too. Sanding with this tool I could save wear and tear on my old body by putting away my sand paper and using this tool to sand in intricates places. Grinding and enlarging holes that are a little tight. This tool has 1000s of uses.
John
I convert and paint 28mm miniatures, some of which are metal. I could use this tool to remove burrs, mold lines, and also drill small holes to pin pieces together.
Bill Fellner
I will use the dremel for work around the house and Halloween projects. Kids today are deprived, at least in my area, of the experience that I grew up with. We go out of our way to host a pumpkin carving event for our entire neighborhood providing everything from food, cleaning, help, and supplies. Just bring a pumpkin. We help out the younger kids and use Dremels to make quick work of them 🙂
We also build our own props for our house and each year we add 2-3 new props as a surprise for all the kids. It is a big thing when we start decorating and all the kids flock to our house to help. We use dremels and a lot of attachments to do some of the work. It is such a big hit we draw in hundreds of kids during trick-or-treat time.
They are both major things for our area and we get started early with it. We are going to start soon since the kids are already asking us about it. The new dremel would be a great tool since the improvements have been some of my main complaints with the cordless version.
Jeff
I would use this dremel to polish the barrel and slide on my Glock 19…
Brian
I would use this new dremel to help renew some of my older tools. I have a 1931 9″ Ford wrench that needs a clean up job done to, and a wire brushing and polishing would be just the thing to give it that new 2010 shine!
Dennis The Menace
I’ve been searching for a new Dremel. Thought about Rotozip, but I’d take this Dremel and use it good!
I plan to do the following:
1. Pegboard Project (Cutting and placing pegboard in garage)
2. Custom Speaker Mod (Fitting new tweeter and custom crossover)
3. Computer Case Mod (Cut out design and new fan hole)
4. Sharpen Garden Tools
5. Polishing Tools
6. Engraving (Want to try it before I die)
7. Gunsmithing
8. Guitar Neck Mod (Shave down the sides for a more narrow fingerboard)
9. Picture Frame Project (Refinish Frames)
10. Feed the homeless
Dan S
I work around fire trucks and emergency vehicles all day installing mobile communications equipment. That cordless Dremel tool sure would be used all the time to drill, cut, and grind. I have a corded model but I am always dragging an extension cord around and that can be a pain. This would give me more freedom and help when I am out on the road without the luxury of an outlet and help with customer satisfaction.
Dave
I’d save 100 year old electric clock motors. They turn at 3600 RPM and run 24/7 for many decades. However sometimes the gear train needs a little help to make it for another century.
Ron
I would use the cordless Dremel with a cut off wheel to remove old rope anchors way back inside Tumbling Rock.
Taylor
I would use this thing everyday! Cutting bolts and what not!
Greg Cannon
I would use it for my new job as a handy man. I would do everything from cutting and customization to basic repairs, to milling down paintball guns.
Dylan Roth
I would use it to try to disarm the thermonuclear warhead the swedes put into my left testicle when i was abducted by mrs. buttersworth back in september. Once i manage to do that, i will proceed to open my own spatula manufacturing shop. Using nothing but broken glass, and this dremel tool, i shall become the next Hubert Goilardeen (bill gates of spatula mfg). Kitchen utensils will never be the same.
Austin
I would use it to write my name on things. On tools, electronics, the hidden corridors of campus, etc.
And I might just write other people’s names on stuff for the heck of it. Don’t like your roommate’s girlfriend? Dremel another girl’s name into the back of his ipod and watch the sparks fly!
Brandon
With the right cutting bit, i think it would make a super nose hair trimmer! Really i just need a new model for work. Doing aftermarket parts design, i spend a good portion of my days building something custom, Mills, lathes, die grinders, etc are fantastic, and all have there own place but nothing can replace the Dremel for some of the small details needed. Cordless is even an added bonus, and with the power and longevity of the new lithium batteries i can only imagine the quality of this piece.
balrog
After reading TG’s review, it sounds like the Dremel8200 would be great for removing fingernails of those who “borrow” tools without asking permission first…
Pat
This would be great for odds and ends around the house. I’ve been putting off replacing some grout in our main bathroom and this tool would certainly expedite that job. Sure would be nice not to have my wife bothering me about that project any more.
Scott
I would use it everywhere in my garage, but I have always wanted to use one to carve pumpkins! A cordless version would be fantastic for Hall-o-ween fun!
Rohit
If I was given a cordless dremel, I would totally make use of it during my daily diy projects of fixing my car and household stuff. Though I am an amature, I typically have to cut bolts (such as exhaust bolts). I actually had to use a 4.5″ angle grinder, which is a great tool for the job if you have a lift, but I don’t :P. Lets just say I a few burns after that one.
Jose
my g.f wants to start learning how to port cylinder heads and I’m going to teach her by starting on Honda clone engines. This would be a perfect anniversary gift for her 🙂
chio saucedo
I would begin where I left off before my last one was stolen in a break-in. Let me see, I would begin by filing my dog’s nails, then go on to polish all the drawer pulls and hardware on my cabinets and furniture, as well as my larger jewelry. Then, I would continue to sand a wrought iron table my dad made over seventy years ago, so that it would finally find it’s rightful place in my home. The list is quite endless……the dremel would never find its way to the garage, as it will probably sit in the kitchen, along with all the other tools I use every day.
Rich
I would use this to polish the urn for my stepmothers ashes that sits on the mantle over the fireplace. She hasn’t been real keen on the whole thing, what with her still being alive and all, but I have noticed since I got it she doesn’t come over as often.
Jack Rybak
I could definitely use one to get my door strikers adjusted not to mention just about any other hard to reach place where my 4 inch grinding wheel just doesn’t cut it..
Gary Nix
I would love to have a cordless dremel tool. If you were to pick me on the give away I would use it to polish my first few snap on wrenches that I just got off eBay today, have another excuse to stay out in the garage, and be great for the honey doos that my wife (and mother-in-law) come up with. Come on now help me out I’m a fat whiteboy in need of tools to fuel my newfound tool addiction!
KEM
We grind numbers in ear tags for cattle using a Dremel, a wireless one would be really nice! The tags are made with a black center coated with various colors, you grind the number in the color leaving the black center showing. Numbers never fade on these!
Marc D
I originally hoped I could use it to hold cotton swabs so I can clean my ears with out the usual risk of carpal tunnel. Much to my dismay, the collet sizes will not work with the current world standard for cotton swab shaft sizing. I guess I could probably use the Dremel to modify it’s own extra collets to the correct size if I needed to.
In the event that idea fails, I suppose I could always use it in the garage for auto work and in the house for craft activities with the kid.
Mike Burns
If I was to get a new cordless Dremel I would be using it for numerous activities around the house. For one, in the winter I cut over 10 cords of firewood to heat my home and it requires numerous chainsaw chain sharpenings. This dremel would make this task so much faster and I could get more done in less time!
I have run across other times I’ve needed a dremel when needing to sand or grind in a small, tight area that my cutoff wheel with a disk does not reach. The Dremel would come in handy in these types of situations too.
Matt
Repairing children’s toys is almost a full time job at my house so the 8200 would be handy. I would definitely advertise it at work and occasionally loan it out; just to make my peers jealous enough to go get their own.
ed
If I won, I would give the Dremel to my Father. My Father had a electric Dremel for 16years that just burnt out. He used that thing for everything. He now just makes small wooden toys for very young kids of friend s and family.
Mike Turner
The Dremel 8200 is a tool that I need
To make stuff with that incredible speed.
I’ll cut and slice
to make things nice
and do many a good deed.
Sean
I would probably use it to cut through some extra cheesy pizza and then use it as a toe nail grinder. I have some really tough toe nails. But, in all seriousness I just purchased a home and I would love to give this tool a try on all of the upcoming projects my wife has already set up for me. Thanks for giving me a chance to win this awesome tool
Andrew
I would use this Dremel to work on my pumpkin carvings and other hobby work.
Greg Smith
I have a bedroom/bathroom project I would use this with.
Mononoke
Daily dental tech with many uses of a cordless Dremel including
Sharpening dental picks
Cleaning drill heads for turbine replacement
Custom fitting lab equipment into cabinets
“Modifying” certain equipment that just is plain made wrong!
Eric Rasmussen
I would use the Dremal on a kitchen project I am working on.
Dan
I would use the dremel to dremel. And after that I would rest.
Katy
I must confess that if I won…I would give this to my husband…and I am not sure *how* he would use it…but I know that he would *definitely* put it to good use! 🙂
Katy
I am now following you on Twitter! KatyLMA
Katy
I *like* you on Facebook! Katy Mc. Ald.
Jaime P
I would use it to sand the edges on my wooden ornaments
Dan C
I’d start with touching up my front door, move on to maybe finishing off a few sharp corners on our kitchen counters, after that I was thinking I’d sharpen some of my Dad’s old tools.
Noel Hankamer
I would use the Dremel to clean up some old wrenches. I bet it would get rust out of some of the small indentations.
Mike H
Are you kidding? My “honey-do” list has started a new page! Might as well be getting the jobs done and enjoying myself with a Dremel 8200.
J.Ed Baker
As an amateur luthier, this is just the thing for finishing sound hole and inlay cutouts.
Deb Anderson
Ah, so many things I’d use it for!! But one thing that comes to mind right now is that I’ve been wanting to get into jewelry making, and having this little jewel would make it easy to sand down sharp edges of wires, etc. without damaging the piece. Perfect!
Deb Anderson
I don’t know how to get “creative” with my entry 🙂 but I’m thinking clipped wires for earring hooks could be disastrous going through your tender ears unless the edges have been rounded first with – what else – the DREMEL! 🙂

Ron Fernandes
I know one thing I would use it for would be custom moding computer cases, I have numerous ideas all sketched out with all of the materials needed, however I have none of my tools yet. This would be a welcome addition to start my projects.
Ben
I’ll use it everywhere I can’t use my corded dremel, mostly at my cabin in the woods for small remodeling projects to spruce the place up a bit
Laurie Lord
I have a 80 lb Doberman that I am training for police work and I would use this dremel for trimming his toenails. A dremel is an excellent tool for large breeds and I have been using one on my dobermans for over 10 years. It is less painful and much safer than clipping because you can see where the quick is. I have been looking at the new ones as in the past I have always used the 770. It would be so great for us (Hawk and I) to be able to recommend this model to other breeders and trainers, and groomers!
Thank you,
Laurie L.
Superautobacs
I’d use mine for fine, detailed sanding/grinding/cleaning/polishing.
Sean
I would use it for more modding of course!
Being cordless, it would allow me to work a bit more remotely then currently at the workbench where I have my dremel setup with the drill press holder.
The misses and I recently purchased our first home, so with the long list of the various projects, this would come in super duper handy as we rip down the walls. I know when we took out the old windows, I would have loved to bring this cordless Dremel 8200 in the toolbelt to use on the nails that didn’t pull out clean; would imagine it would be a lot easier to cut them off then work on pulling them all out. Same would be to help with the old wood we are throwing away. Pulling out all the nails OR banging through would probably go a lot quicker just snipping them off with the ever almighty Dremel tool!
Thanks!
jon jordan
IN A CONTUALRACTOOR MOSTLY IN TRIM WORK . I BOROW MY BROTHHERS OLD ONE FROM 5 YEARS AGO AND WOULD B A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR JOB SITES MY FAMILYS ARE BUILDERS OF RESIDITUAL HOMES AND WERE ON DEVELOPMENTS TIL FINISH IT WOULD B A GEAT ADDITION
jon jordan
ENTERED ARE READY BUT WE NEED AN UPGRADECFROM THE FIRST DREMELBUILT
Tony Wilson
I use a Dremel (with a router attachment) for installing binding on guitars and ukes; a cordless Dremel would make that easier.
Gary
Power, versatility, and cordless to boot. I’d let this one go to the dogs if I won. Cordless nail grinding is the way to tame two labs and keep their nails looking good without the worries of clipping off their quick.
Jerome
I maintain and minor-repair our remote-rural school district’s buses (on demand). My corded Model 395 just died (motor still spins, but linkage to outside is gone) while fixing my aged Mom’s house. It would take over everything from broken bolt digging and bus skin repairs to PVC shower threshold shaping and sticky door repair – using attachments I have amassed over the years for the 395 – and then a few new ones . . .
Thomas Beck
Having used the same dermal for the last 20 years I know how well the work. Mine finely quit and it is time to replace it. I would be using it for craft items.
teicher
I would use this tool to cut rusted bolts and in my next remodeling project. I’m just starting out and still building up my tool collection, and would love to have high quality tools to use both now and in the future.
David Rodriguez
What wouldn’t I use it for. Wife’s crafts, DIY projects… making furniture, house repair, etc. They are so versatile.
Velvet Hubler
I would use the dremmel to start a project I have been wanting to do it is putting decorative designs in my door frames.
Velvet Hubler
following on twitter and sent you a tweet
Velvet Hubler
I like you on facebook and posted a message on your wall for xtra entry
M. Nichols
I was just at Lowes today lusting over a dremel but ultimately decided it would have to wait until things like..oh..the electricity bill…got paid!
But oh, the things I could do!!
To start with, I’d fix the corner of my gutters that drip and collect deadly icicles in the winter! I’d use the dremel to drill out the old rivets and clear the silicone, then I’d use it drill new rivet holes into the new corner.
Then, I’d go through the house and etch identifying information on some things–like my insurance agent advised ten years ago! 🙂
—-My extra credit entry:—
There’s tons more, but I’ve been saving a gorgeous blue, tall, wine bottle for four years…waiting anxiously for the moment I get a Dremel. I plan to drill a hole near the bottom of the bottle in the back and then stuff the bottle with a long strand of Christmas lights. The plug will snake out of the hole, and the bottle will become a beautiful glowing-blue night light for my hall table!
Stuart
Thank you to everyone for your participation! A winner has been chosen randomly. Congratulations, Sean!
Cindy Phillips
I would use the new Dremel rotary tool to do a myriad of projects in and out of my house, including sculpting, cutting, engraving, sanding, buffing, grinding, and routing when it comes to my arts and crafts projects.
I have used Dremel for years and it has been my most used reliable tool so far, however… having a Dremel that is cordless would make an already easy task that much easier and a little more convenient. I am an artist, and an avid home remodeler. I am constantly looking for things around the house to improve upon or completely renovate, so having a small tool that can handle most of my jobs is very important to me.
When I look for tools, I look for features, function, versatility, convenience, and of course… shear strength and durability. Dremel has been a reliable friend in the past years, and is the tool that I use more than any other in and out of my home. Having the added portability because of the omission of a cord just gives me that much more freedom to move around from room to room quicker, and I’ll be able to maneuver into those tight spots easier.
So, all that being said… What projects would I use the new Dremel 8200 for? Well, simply enough… All of them!
Best Regards,
Cindy Phillips

BILL PALMER
I would use the tool as a great replacement for my decades old Dremel motor tool, which while it works well, doesn’t perform like the new models do. I’d love to use if for automotive projects including cleaning battery terminals and small brake parts.
Dante Thompson
If I won an 8200 cordless dremel, I would use it for custom fabrication in automotive bodywork as well as many other household “chores” such as installing locks, building things(toolbox cart) and also to make a key for my mom
Norman Paterson
I’ll use the Dremel for my various DIY projects, as well as household maintenance. And being a Dremel, I’m sure I’ll find all sorts of uses for it that presently, I can’t even imagine yet!
Joe Brazeau
I design and assemble custom jewelry. I’ve always wanted a dremel rotary tool but never seem to have the $. I would use this dremel in 100’s of ways to drill gemstone, polish silver, cut metal, stone and glass, sand, buff, shine – my jewelry would be more beautiful than ever! I would love to have a dremel for my original one of a kind jewelry items!
Julie
Honestly, I’m entering because my husband REALLY needs a good dremel. He uses it everyday in his garage! Mostly he uses it as a mechanic, but he seems to find a million other ways to use it. I was looking for the best type of dremel to buy & came across this give-away. He’d be pretty happy to have a really good dremel, & when he’s happy, we’re all happy! 🙂
Gracie Miller
Honestly? I make by hand, wooden smokes holders. We have been out of work for well over a year now and recently the Dremel my son gave to me (I LOVED IT) and still do, but it won’t charge now and I can’t buy one so I am praying I stand a chance among the many that know all about these things and uses that I might win this one.
I have had to figure things out for myself with my Dremel my son gave to me and was able to do many things with it. No I am not a hot dog that mistreats anything, including tools, so I think the problem with my silent little Dremel is simply old age, like me I guess but Dremel is perfect for anyone, male or female, young or old. Easy to use and to learn about.
I am Blessed with a Gift of art and if I do not win this one I will certainly purchase one when we are financially able. Until then, I go back to doing it as best I can without assistence.
You guys are Blessed to have access too such a wonderful piece of genious that is so accomadating to use.
Whoever wins this, Blessings to them and treat it well for it will work it’s little heart out for you.
Stone Akin
I am a disabled American Indian, my extra income comes from selling what I call “Natures Sculptures.” When the weather permits I sit outside in the shade carving and working on projects. My work is all items from Mother Earth, I even make my own paints from berries, flowers and roots
I have to run a cord for my old Dremel type which is about worn out, I would love to have the new cordless model 8200 but I just can’t afford it right not.
To win this new Dremel tool,
would set me free from the tangled cords,
would lighten my load and appease the sanding “lords”
would brighten my weathered Indian face,
and make my work seem like floating in space.
To win this new Dremel tool,
would seem so cool
as I sit in the shade with my new Dremel Tool.
Leandra Ann
I want to thank you on the share, very useful for us, I\\\’m learning all along and your post has really enlightened me.
Philip Traister
I’d use it for just about everything around the house .
Diane Galbraith
I would use this Dremel to grind the toenai,s of four dogs we share our home with.
Then I would go on to more fun stuff like art applications. Maybe even find a way to clean tile grout.
Mary Szoobonya
I will use it to groom my two parrots. I cannot afford to take them to a vet to get them groomed. I am a senior on a fixed income and thought I would groom their beaks and talons myself.
