PROSPECT, Ill., February 13, 2006 The new Dremel Stylus rotary tool offers unparalleled style and technology. Poised for nearly any application grinding, polishing, sanding or buffing the Stylus brings precision rotary tool technology to your fingertips. Its innovative contour-grip design, soft-grip surface and Lithium-ion technology are designed to make the tool an extension of your hand, helping home repair, crafting and woodworking projects come alive. The Dremel Stylus is a tool that will allow the creativity to flow from the user, right into the project itself, said Andrea Ash, Dremel director of marketing communications. We know how important it is to have a tool in the house that makes crafts, hobbies and every day projects approachable and fun and the new Stylus was created to fit your hand and your lifestyle. The Stylus comes with its own docking station for charging and accessory storage. From the kitchen countertop to the garage workbench, the Dremel Stylus will fit anywhere in the home, making this handy tool readily available for everyday projects. The Stylus also features an integrated, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery; the same battery technology as notebook computers and cell phones. Because it holds a charge for up to two years in storage, it will always be charged and ready for the projects you need to tackle. The Li-ion battery technology will hold its charge six times longer than similar voltage nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, and is smaller and lighter than the Ni-Cd, keeping the Stylus lightweight and compact, making it perfect to store in your toolbox or kitchen drawer. The lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time without damaging the original charge capacity or run time.
