Default Cordless dremels? rotary tools?

Whats everybody using? I have the 7.2v dremel one and the power is fine but the batt life SUCKS!. I have a nice corded dremel that does the heavy work but it's nice to have a cordless quite often. Just that the batt doesnt last worth a crap and the shelf life on the batt seems to take a toll also. Any lithium ones out yet with decent prices and results?

I use Dremel 114-8000-03 Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool Kit.

Very powerful and long lasting battery.

+1 on the stylus, I have one too and I love it I use it to make jewelry and on my rc cars. If you don't have one get one and get the chuck too that will save you time

I like this model as well. It is plenty powerful, and if I need to chop something really hard, I just grab the mini chop saw.

I'm thinkin the 12v model. I dont really think I like the style of the stylus, I could see that little bottom handle getting in the way getting into some tight spots. The 10v model is only a little less than the 12 as well, either way they really should include 2 batts with these things. Everybody knows how much it sucks for a batt to die in the middle of a job without another one ready to go and finish it up..granted I have the corded one I take out to finish but a pita if you ask me compared to changing a battery.
