Have rechargeable Dremel and B&amp;D electric. A tad wobbly on both, so haven't used it yet. Is the slight wobble normal? Thanks!

Hi Catherine, although I've only used mine in the Dremel 4000, I've not noticed any wobble. Is there any slop at all where its connected to the tool? And even more importantly, is the blade tight on the attachment? I wouldn't suggest using it until you are sure it is secured properly to the unit. I would suggest you call Dremel, they have a great customer service group thwt can walk you through it live. Good luck! Brad

Not that I am aware of. I have always used my 120vac Dremel. The battery powered models do not have enough power ( torque ) to maintain the flex shaft.

I don't know on the Dremel blades. Only used B&D/Porter Cable/Dewalt, since they are basically the same multitool. It does take quite a bit of pressure (strength) to operate and hold the lever. Obviously, this necessary to hold the blade in place during operation. Once the blade is mounted it stays mounted. If hand strength is a problem you might want to consider another brand such as the Rockwell. More expensive, however.

Sorry for the delay. I'm currently stationed overseas and free time is very limited.My Dewalt did not have that problem. I didn't use it every day, but whenever I used it, it was all-day. Never had any problems with the chuck or anything else for that matter.

I agree... ours did not fit. My husband took his Dremel and made a small opening in the channel to allow the Snap and Grow special bolt to slide into the channel. The top side fit because the end of the channel was open... so you could slide it in. Not so with the bottom... hence the Dremel option.

I've never stalled it but I also have the Dremel version and don't recall it stalling. This tool has more power and it doesn't get hot. It also has the quick change feature. I no longer use my Dremel tool now that I have the Sonicrafter.

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)

After reading your post I did the same... minus the dremel tool though. I just hacked away at it with an exacto knife. Works great. Can't feel the sensor. Saved myself $100 too!

no wobble was found when i use it. If the drill is properly centered in the chunk when it is tightened it should work as designed

No that is not normal, I have noticed that they do have a tighter fit than the DeWALT original batteries but not enough to need to pry it out. It may wear in after you do it a few times.

I am not aware of this issue having been a concern. There is no wobble in this drill, it is really solid.

You clamp the dremel tool down and use or reverse and hold your work and dremel free.I love mine I use for anything small to work on.Very well thought out.Let your eyes see how versatile it can become.I thought same way when I opened box,now I use almost daily.Hope this helps

Dear Joe,I will check my model number tonight and get back to you. I have the grey rechargeable dremel they sold at Sears in 2008. Not sure of exact model number.I do have the battery model which was 855-01 and this is 855-02 which are identical. I replaced the bad lithium ion cell in the original and now have two batteries.

Return it and get another... this should never be an issue. I just had an alignment issue on the one I ordered on Amazon. Had to RMA it.Also, make sure to never crimp when the wires aren't passed through the tool properly and straight, this will cause the blade to get bent or dull prematurely. ...I'm no longer ordering these on amazon, I haven't had good luck with quality from the ones received on here, now getting from approved platinum tools dealers and having much better luck.

I don't notice any wobble while cutting. I don't regret buying this saw at all. I haven't used my old circular saw since this one arrived. I love it.

I have not used the dremel but it has two speeds and with fresh batteries it works very well. I don't know about it being all that quiet either,but it'd have to be silent for it not to upset my dog.
