Dremel(R) Introduces Next Generation Cordless Rotary Tool, the Dremel 8200

MOUNT PROSPECT, IL, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
This spring, the Dremel(R) brand is unplugging high-performance corded
rotary tool technology and, for the first time, making it portable in the
new Dremel 8200 cordless rotary tool. The tool combines the best of both
worlds -- the performance of a corded tool and the convenience and
flexibility of a cordless tool -- making it ideal for outdoor or
on-the-go projects that require cutting, sanding, grinding, carving,
engraving, routing, cleaning, polishing and more.

"As the market leader in rotary tools, the Dremel brand wants to deliver
the high level of performance our users have come to rely on in a corded
tool, but in a cordless package that gives them the freedom and range
needed to complete any do-it-yourself, woodworking or hobby project,"
said Brian Benes, Dremel product manager. "Thanks to continued
innovations in technology and insightful feedback from Dremel
enthusiasts, we believe the Dremel 8200 is unlike any other cordless
rotary available -- it's better."

Versatility
The Dremel 8200 features
a variable speed range of 5,000 to 30,000 rotations per minute and is the
only cordless Dremel rotary tool compatible with all Dremel accessories
and attachments, including the high-performance MultiSaw and Planer
attachments. In addition, an enhanced design with 360-degree grip zone
with soft grip enables added comfort and stability. A separate on/off
switch, which retains speed settings for ease of use, and sliding
speed-switch were strategically placed so as not to interfere with the
grip. The sliding speed-switch features easy-to-read speed markings for
accurate settings. An innovative shaft lock mechanism lets users lock the
output shaft quickly when changing accessories.

Performance
The Dremel
8200 is the highest performance cordless rotary tool available, featuring
a new, high-performance motor that facilitates maximum performance at all
speeds.

By combining this motor with the 12V(MAX) Lithium-Ion(TM) battery, the
8200 has a speed-of-cut that is two times faster than the leading
cordless rotary tool. A new, one-hour charger is the fastest charger ever
offered by Dremel and provides less downtime between projects and more
time using the tool to complete them.

Portability
The Dremel 8200 does
it all, unplugged. Providing corded performance in a cordless package,
users are able to complete projects in the places they find most
convenient, whether it be a workroom, garage or the backyard. A battery
fuel gauge on the tool allows users to keep track of battery life
remaining before a charge is needed.

The Dremel 8200 will be available beginning in April 2010 at most
hardware stores and home improvement centers nationwide. The Dremel 8200
comes with a two-year warranty and will retail for a suggested retail
price range from $99 to $139 USD. In Canada, the Dremel 8200 kits will
retail for a suggested retail range from $129 to $169 CAD.
