Associated Recall
Incident Details
  • Incident Description: I purchased this "Dremel 7700-1/15 MultiPro 7.2-Volt Cordless Rotary Tool Kit" from Amazon in November, 2013. This rotary tool has a removal battery that also doubles as a hand grip. However, I noticed that the battery cannot be locked to the tool properly. This is quite dangerous as the rotary tool runs at 20K RPM and some of the tools are used for cutting wood and metal. Depending on how you grab the tool, when the battery come loose, the top portion could come off and cause damages. I called customer service and it seems they are aware of the problem but I think they should issue a recall to the product.
