Husqvarna Discontinues Yazoo-Kees Brand Sep 21, 2011  Printable format  Email this Article  Search

Outdoor power equipment maker Husqvarna Professional Products will discontinue manufacturing and selling products under the Yazoo|Kees brand name by the end of 2011. “The decision to discontinue the Yazoo|Kees brand is part of our brand rationalization strategy within the Husqvarna Group,” says John Marchionda, vice president of Marketing, Husqvarna. Husqvarna will continue to produce similar products under both the Dixon and Husqvarna brands. Husqvarna will continue to process warranty claims and make available service parts for an extended period of time. History of Yazoo-Kees Frederick Daniel Kees began producing husking hooks and pegs on Nov. 23, 1874 and did good business with settlers to the U.S. West, Kees also repaired firearms, sewing machines, and mowers while manufacturing his own products in a back room workshop. Kees opened a manufacturing plant in 1910. by 1963 the company was producing Kees Lawn and Garden Equipment. Its product line included the Kees Krawler

This Question Is About A Rotary Tool….?

I was Just Trying To cut The Ends of Finishing Nails (Quiet A Lot) To A Length with A Rotary Tool for A Project I am Working On and It for some Reason Seams The Rotary Tool gets To Hot Too soon and The Ends of The Nails where try Too cut Off gets these Burns (Like Blue and Black) and I was Wondering What can I Do To Prevent this From Happening? like Is There some Kind of Oil or Something I could Put On The Nails To Prevent or What? Help?

the problem you have is a blade is either worn out or the wrong blade! a diamond blade is very good for the type of cutting you are speaking of, hope this helps

Buy smaller nails. use sandpaper on the ends to remove the burns.

shorter nails,nail set,putty comes to mind and forget the power tools.

Things NASA did not invent but used

The first cordless power tool was unveiled by Black & Decker in 1961. In the mid-1960s, Martin Marietta Corp. contracted with Black & Decker to design tools for NASA.

The tool company developed a zero-impact wrench for the Gemini project that spun bolts in zero gravity without spinning the astronaut. Black & Decker also designed a cordless rotary hammer drill for the Apollo program to extract samples from the moon’s surface.

As a result of this work, Black & Decker created several spinoffs, including cordless, lightweight, battery-powered precision medical instruments and a cordless miniature vacuum cleaner called the Dustbuster. However, cordless power tools predate the space agency’s involvement with the company.

NASA developed a special type of bar code for inventory of space-shuttle and other space-system components that could endure harsh environments, but this should not be mistaken for the original bar code.

The first quartz clock dates back to 1927. However, in the late 1960s, NASA partnered with a company to make a highly accurate quartz clock. this clock was on the market for a few years, but it is no longer available.

NASA’s connection to the modern smoke detector is that it made one with adjustable sensitivity as part of the Skylab project. The device was made commercially available by Honeywell. The consumer could use it to avoid “nuisance” alarms while cooking. Like the quartz clock, this device is no longer available.

How do you use the spiral saw attachment for a rotary tool?

the instructions are pretty vague and when I tried to do (what I think it said), it didn't work. here is what I am talking about:
dremel.com/en-us/attachments-and-accessories/attachment-accessory-detail.htm?H=188575&G=69679&I=69795
By the way, the bit I'm talking about is the multipurpose one and I'm using it on wood.

Use a flex drive attachment to your dremel!

What is the best way to cut through wood with a rotary tool?

I have a Dremel rotary tool and wish to cut through wood. the Dremel mini saw attachment is perfect except that it can only cut through 1/4 of an inch, and getting a larger diameter blade won't work because you would need to cut at an angle (because of the width of the rotary tool). Any suggestions?
(I have a spiral saw attachment for the rotary tool but cannot for the life of me figure out how to use it. I've read lots of instructions but cannot figure it out. If anyone has a video on how to do it, that would be great!)

Yes find a friend that has a table saw.

Dremel 8000-03 10.8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool: Dremel 8000-03 108000-03 .8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

I’ve used Dremel tools for years, but never actually owned one, so this year, after taking up RC airplane building as a hobby 10.8-Volt Lithium (Dad really wanted a boy ), I decided to go with the Li-Ion Model 8000.

The Li-Ion technology is incredible, plenty of power, no memory effect, Ion Cordless keeps it’s chargejust about Dremel 8000-03 Lithium perfect.

One of the reasons I went with a Dremel was the attachments, here’s Rotary where the disappointment comes inmany of the attachments don’t fit this model (I hope I can add the word Lithium “yet”). so if you’re ordering this and it’s your only Dremel, make certain Ion Cordless the attachment says it fits the 8000don’t assume, like I did, that there is backwards compatibilityDremel 8000-03 Lithium there isn’tTool . I learned this the hard way with 10.8-Volt both router table and hand-held router.

If you’re considering this, an incredibly handy addition is the chuckno more 8000-03 messing with collets.

..hooray! also, you’d be wise to buy the 145 piece accessory kit, it adds a lot more versatility in Cordless cutting, shaping, and grinding.

All said, Dremel 8000-03 Lithium this is one of my favorite tools..

.now if Dremel would make some cool accessories that Rotary Tool fit it, I’d be giving this five stars, rather than four!

Finally, a cordless rotary tool that holds Rotary it charge while being stored. now I don’t have to worry about Tool charging my tool’s batteries the night before I need it for a project. And the Lithium Ion batteries are environmentally safe–unlike Nickel Cadmium batteries.

This tool is surprisingly smooth, yet seems as powerful as my old standby corded Dremel 8000-03 Lithium Dremel Model 395.

at 35,000 RPM it is Tool the fastest cordless rotary tool I’ve seen on the market. I like 8000-03 the sleek, ergonomic design. Based upon my previous experience with Dremel tools, I expect this tool to 10.8-Volt be trouble free for a long time. Dremel 8000-03 Lithium

.Dremel 8000-03 10.8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

I’ve used Dremel tools for over 15 years now. I’ve mainly stuck with the corded ones, as the Rotary Tool battery-powered versions tended to run out of charge quickly, had less RPM, were generally heavier and usually had a lot less torque.The lithium version has Dremel none of these drawbacks. Because there’s no 10.8-Volt Lithium cord it’s more comfortable to hold (and much more convenient to use!), about the same weight as a corded model, and has plenty of RPMs and torque. Battery lifetimes are very good, and the “fuel Ion gauge” seems to be reasonably accurate. (Exactly how long a charge will last depends greatly on what you’re using Ion it for–working on balsa wood uses a lot less power than, say, grinding metal.)Battery charge times Rotary Tool are quite short, about three hours to charge a completely empty battery.

(But thanks to a “smart charger” it should only take a few minutes to charge it Cordless after a typical job.) An added bonus is that lithium batteries hold their charges practically forever, so there’s no need to “trickle charge” them; just charge it back up after you’re done with it and put it away, and it’ll be ready to Cordless use the next time you need it.The only nit I’ve found so far is the need to remove the battery to charge it. (This Tool is probably for safety’s sake.) It’d be slightly more convenient to just put the whole unit Dremel 8000-03 Lithium in the charger after use, but since it doesn’t need charging that often this is really minor.I’d consider this to be an entirely practical Rotary replacement for a corded Dremel. for everything I use my Dremel for (mostly small models plus the occasional Cordless home repair task) this one seems more than adequate. It’s a sturdy unit that should last a Ion Cordless Tool long time.

My one 8000-03 concern about lifetime is how long the lithium battery will last; only time will tell.

8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool 8000-03 (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned a dremel corded tool for about 10 years.

I wanted a cordless Rotary Tool dremel to use at work. I bought a 7.2v cordless..

but I did Rotary Tool not use it. It did not have enough speed on the high end 15,000 rpm’sIon . I Dremel 8000-03 Lithium took it back

for a refund. I looked at the 9.6v cordless Lithium dremel,but it was too longthe 10.8v cordless dremel10.8-Volt Light weight,fabilous battery, the control Tool knob a plusI have had it for 1 month 8000-03 and no complaints.

Mine is utilized for robotics projects–it finds a lot of uses with metal. I also bought the press accessory with 10.8-Volt Lithium it. this Lithium little accessory helps me make straight cuts and drill holes.I’m telling you, I use this thing constantly and it works like a champ! It is powerful enough for me to cut all my brass and aluminum Rotary with the precision of that of a doctor. for as handy as this tool Rotary Tool is–I’d pay twice as much to get one if need be. Dremel 8000-03 I’ve had mine for 5 months too.

One HUGE word of Dremel 8000-03 advice. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES! I know this may sound lame, but it saved my @ss!!! When cutting some tubing, my disk exploded Ion at full RPM’s and the shrapnel hit me in the goggles. (Of course I had my fat head over top of it while I was cutting) Just be careful. The tool is A+, but the little thing could be dangerous if you slack on the Ion safety. 8000-03

Dremel 8000-03 10.8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought one of these at a local brick & mortar store for a project I’m 10.8-Volt working on. I am impressed with the power of the device and it is a really neat tool, but unfortunatley I’ve already had to return two of them for a defective speed Ion Cordless control. while using it, the first one all of a sudden just jumped up to full speed and Lithium stayed there regardless of where the speed control was set. In other words, Ion Cordless it was no longer variable. The second one did the same thing. Since I saw replacement brushes Rotary available for their tools (and therefore they must consider it somewhat user serviceable) I decided to open it up and see what it looked like inside. One of the transistors 10.8-Volt on the circuit board had gotten warm enough to melt the solder and shorted out two of the pins on the transistor. I’m on my third one now Rotary (just returned them at the store) and I first bought one about 2-1/2 weeks ago. great tool but Dremel Cordless needs to work on their quality control.

Lithium .its like an anti-theft deviceTool ..

so yes you probably did Dremel see lots of places w/ it.

the grocery store Rotary Tool here has them.

you might be able to pry it off with 8000-03 a screwdriver.

or get a dremelIon Cordless Tool .

or call the company that operate the airport place and see if they know Dremel 8000-03 Lithium of a local place that uses the same anti-theft thing i’m sure Cordless there’s something they can do.Dremel 8000-03 Tool 10.8-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

I’ve been using Dremel tools for about 10 years in my model Ion making hobby/crafts, working mostly with soft plastic resin and soft and hard woods. I never had a problem with the corded 8000-03 tools and currently own 2 corded models (the pro with the digital speed control and the newer XPR after my 395 model was stolen). I thought I’d give going cordless a try, 10.8-Volt Lithium particularly since this tool didn’t seem to be lacking in power.

The speed Ion Cordless controller burned out after 2 months of moderate use (sanding, cutting soft resin). I don’t know if it was Dremel 8000-03 Lithium a lemon since it was working fine for two months. It now is only a two-speed, on and off. I’m sending it back to Dremel for service since it’s obviously still under warranty but to pay for shipping myself and not even have an RMA to feel Ion secure about sending it in with doesn’t strike me as good customer service.

at least they’re not charging me (as far as I know) to ship it back after 10.8-Volt Lithium they’re done fixing it. as a long time Dremel customer, I’m disappointed both with the product and the lack of customer support.

UPDATE: I only think it’s fair to follow up from my first negative review with the results of my return. I got around to sending Rotary Tool the unit off for repair about a month after my review. I got it back from Dremel about 10 days Ion after sending it (by first Class USPS). It came back by UPS. I can’t tell if they fixed my old unit since it was fairly new when I sent it in, but what I got back was in like-new condition, Tool so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t someone else’s refurbed unit, anyway. this one is still fine after over a year of use, so much so that the battery is Cordless starting to lose its ability to hold a charge–the way a well-used cordless tool should work. Yay, Dremel. they also sent me a flap-wheel attachment Ion Cordless Tool for my trouble. It’s still in the package–I haven’t found a use for Ion Cordless Tool it yet, but it’s the thought that counts, I guess. If I Dremel 8000-03 could change my rating based on my experience with the repair, I would–to 4 stars. It’s a Ion Cordless good tool with good power. No cord means more mobility and in fact I’ve used it outside on my car or up on a ladder plenty of times, but battery is also less power.

I wish I’d Cordless bought one years ago. I’ve only had it for a month, and I’ve used it several Rotary times. I do Dremel 8000-03 Lithium wish, however, that I’d bought it at Sears. they sell it for $65Ion Cordless Tool .Edit: When I reported the price at Sears to , matched Sears price, lowered their price from $75, and gave me a refund on the difference, accounting for the tax that I would have paid here in Indiana. i.e., stays up with and ahead Dremel 8000-03 Lithium of competition.

I had a dream I could find a small, rotary power tool that I could easily wield Cordless in one hand with accuracy approaching a dentist’s drill. It was a tool not only convenient in size but did not have a heavy cord constantly “catching” on my chair, back 10.8-Volt Lithium of my arm, on the corner of the table etc. It was nearly as powerful as a corded version and ball-raced so it was quiet and smooth in operation. at my local home store amid the squeaking and clattering of 10.8-Volt Lithium lumbar carts and smell of cut pine I was awakened to the realization my dream may have come true.

..and her name was Dremel?? Dremel 8000-03 (Dr.Freud would have fun with me) The Dremel Model 8000-03 800 Lithium-Ion Cordless (not 8000 as states) will not replace an orthodontist’s precision $1000, stainless instrument. at under $ however, Lithium it’s about as close as it gets. No dreaded anticipation here Tool as this little Dremel is quite fun.

I have owned three Dremels, this Dremel 8000-03 Lithium is number three and my first cordless. Rotary Tool The previous two worked adequately, nothing to shout about just did their job as expected.

Ion Cordless I would never purchase Dremel’s previous cordless models and haven’t to date. Small, cordless tools usually equate to poor power and Dremel 8000-03 no torque. There have been several earlier models at 7.2v and Ion Cordless 4.

8 termed MultiPro and MiniMite respectively. The consensus I’ve found were that torque and power were abysmal. I had a great deal Dremel 8000-03 Lithium of concern regarding this “new version”.

would it actually replace my corded Dremels? In a word, Dremel 8000-03 Lithium yes.

With Lithium Ion technology, both torque 10.8-Volt Lithium and power (length of use) I found impressive. It exceeded my expectationsDremel 8000-03 Lithium . this 8000-03 is not a last minute, dump-something-on-the-market product from Dremel. I have the impression they really put some R&D into itTool . I don’t know if Lithium the torque is equal to my corded. I can’t tell the difference. (A compliment in disquise) The battery lasts longer than anticipated, Dremel again another compliment. The 3 LEDs are of questionalbe accuracy, but a nice benchmark to go by. The variable speed dial is quite accurate on mine, allowing 8000-03 me to speed up or slow down with a great deal of control. The fit and finish is as good as 8000-03 any previous model. The battery is easily attached/removed and Rotary Tool quite cute. Rotary Tool “why does it remind me of a shoe off a Cabbage Patch doll?”

My only significant complaint is ergonomics. I fully admit Ion this may be subjective. as can be seen, the tip has a rubber-like covering for Rotary better tactile feel and grip. It is Dremel also indented or tapered on the sides and underneath. It Dremel feels awkward to me.

I think the problem could have been remedied if the tapering circumscribed the entire tip rather than just Tool the sides/bottom. I’m pretty average when it comes to the Ion Cordless size of my paws.

I couldn’t imagine someone with Rotary Tool dainty fingers trying to hold this thing with one hand and getting maximum precision. The tool’s weight is primarily at the other end, so the tip constantly wants to lift up (battery 10.8-Volt other end drops down). The center of 8000-03 gravity is toward the back 1/3 of the tool. Similarily for those with large paws I would think the difficulty 10.8-Volt might arise from the tip being rather narrow and the shaft lock button easily pressed. My solution? I use it inverted with LEDs facing Rotary down. this way I don’t Lithium accidently hit the shaft lock button with my forefinger and the tapering on the bottom is more adapting for it (forefinger).

“Bling”. something that pleasantly surprised me was the ability to use many of the same accessories the corded Cordless models utilize. I Dremel 8000-03 shop for many mini tools from Micro-Mark, a small tool speciality site. In their catalogs it explicitly states the right Angle Ion Cordless Tool Drive, Dremelite, Flexible Shaft and Plunge Router Attachment accept the 800 series, the only cordless model. this makes a huge difference to me as it now opens the world to most of Dremel’s attachments for cordless use and at the same time doesn’t make my corded Ion Cordless model a dinosaur. best of both worlds, cordless capablity with corded power Lithium and attachments, great! The case is another nice surprise. My previous Dremels had tiny, cheap cases that were clearly designed for light hobby use onlyDremel 8000-03 . this case “appears” like it could be dropped off your roof and survive (no I haven’t tried, I don’t need Freud’s advice that badly). Except for it’s plastic hinge, it is Ion Cordless Tool of a build similar to my Bosch, Makita and Porter Cable tool cases. It’s quite sturdy, capable of holding the unit, charger, accessories Dremel and two batteries (one battery in unit). It Ion will also hold the manual in it’s lid. A capable designCordless .

The Dremel gets five/five stars not because it’s perfect as the ergonomics are a bit quirky (to me), but there’s nothing currently on the market that equals the Model 800 in price and capability. It’s the best of its current Rotary Tool class.

I’ve been using Dremels for a long Rotary Tool time and always wanted a decent cordless. with the advent of decent cordless power tools (the first one that I had that was actually useful for something was an 18 volt Ion Cordless Tool DeWalt drill that went right through stuff my corded drills wouldn’t touch, but that’s another story) I’ve been waiting for Dremel to come out with a good cordless.I’ve been hesitant about the earlier cordless Dremels but this one 8000-03 looks like "it".so far it’s done Dremel everything I’ve asked it to do but I haven’t asked it to do much–I got it specifically to deal with a piece of acrylic that my cordless Rotozip melted instead of cutting–I figured the adjustable speed on the Dremel would take care of that and was right.Just an aside about stalling–if you’re stalling a Dremel then it’s time to take a good hard look at a Rotozip, which, if you’ve never played with one, is kind of a Dremel on steroids–Dremel has an equivalent, the "Advantage", but only the one model and not cordless.The lack of a provision to charge the battery with the tool attached is just carrying through the current practice with cordless tools–it’s assumed that one Ion Cordless will have two batteries, one on the tool and one on charge if this is an issue. There’s space in the case for a second 8000-03 battery.A "gotcha" to be aware of with the lithium ion Dremel batteries, always store them charged–if they self-discharge below a certain point a protective circuit kicks in and they disable themselves–this is a safety issue–trying to recharge a lithium ion battery that is discharged below a certain point can result in an explosion (I’m not talking about a little spill–exploding lithium batteries in emergency-locator transmitters have brought down light aircraft).The bundled accessories are, near as I can figure it:Aluminum oxide stone #932 and #8193Silicon carbide stone #84922Aluminum oxide abrasive wheel #5412 rubber polishing wheels #4253 Large felt polishing wheels #4295 Small felt polishing wheels #4141 cutter, looks like a #1811 drill bit, #1501 Mandrel #401 (for felt pads etc)1 Mandrel #402 (for sanding disks, cutoff wheels etc)Sanding cylinder mandrels 1/4" and 1/2"4 80 grit 1/2" sanding cylinders3 120 grit 1/2" sanding cylinders4 80 grit 1/4" sanding cylinders3 120 grit 1/4" sanding cylinders11 sanding disks17 cutoff wheels, 3 are thicker than the others, the others are in two containers of 10 and 4 but can’t tell any difference between them.1 wrench with screwdriver tip that fits screws on mandrels1 case with a good deal Rotary of unused storage even after all the accessories are stored.
