Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this Dremel 8050 to trim our puppy's nails since he fussed so much when I tried to use clippers. I use 120 grit sandpaper drums and use about 10k rpm. It is fairly quiet and does the job very well, quick and efficiently . We trim his nail weekly. He has now gotten used to it. I have never owned dremel before, so I started using this micro around the home and quickly realized it does not have the power needed to cut wood or metal other than very thin pieces. Anything more than that and the motor will shut off. I recently changed some toilet bolts and it did cut through them but it took several restarts to cut them through. If I put any pressure on the dremel, it would turn off. Some pros about this model are: 1. Very lightweight and maneuverable 2. LED light allows you to illuminate what you are doing 3. Variable speeds from 5 to 28k. (starts at 15k when you turn on) 4. Lithium ion battery technology- 8 volt If you are going to use this for trimming dogs nails and light projects, this 8050 is probably the dremel for you. I wanted more power for other projects and also bought an 8220 which is a larger, heavier 12 volt model. I have pictured them both here for size comparison and will write a separate review for the 8220.
