The convenience of the cordless model outweighs the slim chance that I will have a dead battery.  Besides, I have two other Dremel tools, an ancient 35 year old one that's still kicking, and my 4000 corded model.  I also use a cordless screwdriver and drill for virtually all of my tasks that require such tools.  Somehow, I manage to always have a battery charged and ready, maybe because I think ahead and always have an extra charged battery.  My DeWalt inertia screwdriver charger will charge the battery faster than I can run down the second one.  Ditto for my Milwaukee cordless drill.  I have corded stuff that will fill in, but somehow it rarely needs to come out.

Oh, and my phone is cordless as well, just fits in it's holder and works all day.

Dremel only.  

Dremel only is right. In the small rotary tool market, the only one to buy is Dremel. Same is true with the bits.

I agree about the tool. But, why do you say "same is true with the bits"?  As I said, Dremel bits are crazy overpriced and there are just-as-good alternatives available at a fraction of the price. 

I buy generic tools where they work, fiber cutoff wheels are a good example.  I have used many Dremel cutoff wheels, but the generic ones I get work just as well and last just as long.  Since I get 100 for the price of five Dremel brand, it's a no-brainer.

I've been using my set of carbide burrs for years, I bought them on eBay for very little money.  They're as sharp as when I bought them, and they've chewed up a LOT of diecast material.
