TEMO Rotary Tool Hold Hanger Stand Clamp for Dremel Foredom and Other Rotary Tools

Easy to use attached to a rotary tool. Makes wood carving very easy.

I wanted a cheaper flex shaft than the major brand ones (Dremel and Black & Decker charge significantly more just for their name.) This one does definitely work very well -- Id say more or less equally to those. To me it feels almost exactly as durable and such, so I think it will last just as long more or less. This definitely fits standard rotary tools with no problems. I think maybe it vibrates a bit more and seems to not work as well with some bits made for rotary tools, but some of the bits out there that are officially made for them really are intended for a much bigger device with more mass so the shaking doesnt affect them as much and are just being retrofitted to fit these when they really probably shouldnt. Overall this is a good choice for its price, HOWEVER, there is one key thing that is pretty much minus two stars on its own: their use of a non-standard key for actually changing bits. Normally these things use a little button you hold down while turning the piece at the end to hold the shaft in place. Im sure this way is cheaper and theoretically its more durable (though Ive never had that bit actually break on any of these Ive ever used) but its basically 100% guaranteed that such a key will get lost. Ive had to tape it to the end of the flex shaft. But eventually it will be dropped or Ill forget to put it back on and it will get lost. Its not even a normal standard key. I suppose an allen wrench would still fit, but it would likely be a bit loose and a bit harder to use because of that. It works great, but I really wish they hadnt made that particular design choice. The standard button method has always worked great and would have continued to do so here too.

Its very loud even after lubing it up , doesnt feel very secure and makes me feel like it might damage my tool . Not smooth feeling at all , lots of vibrations and shaky . Not gonna use to be honest. Probably try the Dremel one next.

I received a damaged product

For 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.

Initially 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.

As 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!

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

I bought this item to go with my new flex Shaft rotary tool. It works, but hook is to small for my big and powerful flex shaft rotary tool. When I use tool at full power, it wants to jump off hanger.

First off itt is an inexpensive device dont expect much. It is made of all plastic design may not last long we will see. That said it works like a three stage switch for my dremel model 225 variable speed. So IT IS NOT a true variable pedal that goes slow to fast depending on how hard you press the pedal. IT IS NOT an anolog device. IT IS NOT solid state technology. IT IS A device using mechanical contact controls using step down resistance to provide reduced voltage output for what ever is plugged into it. For me it was a solution for my needs. But if you need true full control variable speed. This IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO GET. But if you just need an on off switch at your foot then you get this one.
