> 24 hourInitially I was disappointed because it worked as a on/off for my Dremel 4000 but I switched it to my Foredom and it worked as a variable speed controller. I only rated it as a 3 for durability and accuracy because I dont know how long or good it is yet. It does work as well as the foot controller I had on my Foredom prior to receiving this one.

> 24 hourDo not use with Dremel cutting attachments, torque and resistance were so great that the cable inside snapped on first use.

> 24 hourThe very first thing I noticed after opening the package these came in was how flimsy the cut-off wheels are. After carefully screwing one of the wheels onto the bit provided, it broke into three pieces when I was inserting the bit into the collet on my rotary tool. I tried another and, as I do with every bit before I use it, I turned my Dremel on the lowest RPM setting and while pointing it away from me, I watched it spin to be sure it was straight. Next, I gave it a test (I do this with every bit that is new to me) and tried cutting a piece of cardboard and it cut fine without incident. The package says never to use these bits above 34,000 RPM so one ought to keep that in mind when using these bits. Aside from the first wheel breaking, Ive had good luck with the bits and will probably buy them again because, for one, theyre very inexpensive (a fancy carrying case or wooden box to store them in, doesnt come with this set) and I received them only a day after I ordered them. Yay. Dremel bits for Dremel tools are always recommended, but in a pinch, these will do.

> 24 hourIm not sure how to comment, except to say this: My first flexible shaft must have been defective. The tools slipped/terribly. That said, I believed the problem could have been my not following the instructions properly. BUT, the instructions are too simply written and could easily be enhanced with a picture/schematic or 2. I am/was not entirely familiar with what the Dremel parts are called. I decided to request a return/replacement. The newly delivered shaft connects and works perfectly. My project was only delayed by a few days. Im happy with my purchase. Regarding the shaft itself, the tool end is like an engraving tool. Its high quality. You hold it like a pen. I was actually hoping for it to be more flexible so I could route it through the inside of a winding pipe, but the pipe bends too sharply. Thanks to the seller for the working replacement.

> 24 hourAs was the case with most purchasers, I bought this to save a few bucks. When I tried to install it on my Dremel, I too noticed there wasnt enough space to tighten the Dremels collet nut onto the flex shaft. As I tried pulling the inner cable to gain some length, of course, it disengaged from the business end of the flex shaft. I assumed I was missing a trick somewhere along the line, but evidently not. With the inner shaft out, naturally its a snap to tighten it into the Dremel...then, realigning it with the shaft end is a bit of a hit & miss hassle. Once I resigned myself to the fact that it was awkward to install, I just decided Welp, it is what it is. Once installed, however, it actually works very well. I havent used it excessively, but so far so good. No regrets. I like the flexibility. It coils small enough to fit into my Dremel case without kinking or binding. Overall, Im glad I saved a few bucks...even if it is kinda sketchy to install. UPDATE: Having owned and used this flex-shaft for about a year & a half now, I can honestly say its a great tool. The Dremel (with shaft) has become almost a permanent fixture on my work bench and I find myself using it for one thing or another several times a week. Usually quick little buffs or sanding, but on occasion, Ive had larger projects and run the rig for up to an hour at a time. The Dremel, nor the flex-shaft, ever falter...they get a little warm after a while, but they just keep on gittin it! Im promoting this tool from 3 stars to 5...it has proven itself worthy. 5/27/17 - One final note. While most after-market rotary tool accessories tout Dremel compatibility, when it comes to flex shafts, not ALL will accept the Dremel keyless chuck. I was given a freebie keyless chuck by someone whos flex-shaft fit their rotary tool at the tool end just fine, but the keyless chuck would NOT thread onto the business (pen/stylus/collett) end of the shaft. The TEMO, however, DOES have the matching threads for the Dremel device on BOTH ends. I was pleased to learn this...yet another plus for the TEMO! (Regarding the Dremel or any other after market keyless chuck...in the reviews for the product(s), many complain the chuck is NOT keyless because they still have to poke the L tool into the side of the pen to stop the shaft rotation when using the chuck...as do I with the TEMO. The chuck only becomes truly keyless when used with the Dremel flex shaft, as their shaft (and maybe one or two others), has a stop button on the pen same as on the rotary tool itself. THEN the L tool is no longer needed and the chuck is indeed...KEYLESS! There is another funny misconception about the keyless chuck that baffles a lot of people too, but thats for another conversation. Hope this helps when choosing a flex shaft. Still lovin my TEMO!

> 24 hourThe product is not as strong as I expected.The base is plastic and looses shape when tightened. The telescoping hanger bar does not remain fully extended because of weight.

> 24 hourFor the money it’s a great product. Buyer should realize that the floor pedal is only an on/off switch and not a variable speed control of the electrical motor to which it may be connected. It does free up your hands especially if the rotary tool is fixed to the bench. Would buy again.
