Experience With Dremel "Mighty Mite" ? - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I use a Dremel variable speed corded unit to drill holes for portraits and other assorted fret work, when I can't reach them with my drill press throat.
The idea of a cordless is appealing.
Any advice pro or con would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dale

I like cordless tools, but they tend to run out at inopportune times. I once had a cordless rotary tool and it never lasted very long on a charge.

For drilling at a bench, I would want one that charges in a cradle so that it's handy on the bench with no cords to plug in and always charged.

I use corded and have one of these hanging from the ceiling over my bench:

I have my old dremel hanging over head at my work bench also.
