The bottom of the handle guard also contains the drill’s second most significant feature – a detachable combination Class 2, <1 mW, 635nm laser, and bubble level. Dremel says the level comes with “reusable mounting putty” to stick the level to a wall. Still, it’s not clear from the product information if this putty is attached to the piece inside the drill or provided alongside the drill in a separate package.
Another quirk about the integrated laser level is that it must be charged separately from the drill battery via USB-C.
There are also a few other user-friendly details found on most other drills, including an on-device slot for bit storage, a lighted battery power indicator, and an LED spotlight to provide a clearer line of site for drilling.
The Drill and Its Companion Blueprint Line Tease Dremel’s Future Ambitions
Dremel isn’t a newcomer to the power tool market. The brand, named after its founder, Albert J. Dremel, was founded nearly a hundred years ago in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. It has long been synonymous with its line of electric rotary tools. The company was also bought by a titan in the power tool market, Bosch, back in 1993.
