This item makes for easy & quick changing of the attachments. A must have for the serious worker. 2 Thumbs up.
ALL GOOD -NO PROBLEMS // Previously I was wrapping super small drill bits with tape to fit standard Dremel chuck. Now I am a real driller.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great attachment from Dremel. The keyless chuck really speeds up burr changes, especially when switching to different size burr shafts. No need to switch out collets with this. Highly recommended!
OK, I posted a review earlier on this. I was able to use my Monkey Wards tool to cut the chuck off of my Dremel 260. Here's what I found: The chuck was able to screw down far enough on the motor shaft, that it drove past the threads and seated on the larger shoulder of the motor shaft. I ended up grinding off a little of the chuck, and then grinding a long taper on my Dremel's shaft. This allowed me to use the chuck without a problem (Plus a little grease on the threads).
Due to the large number of negative reviews I first hesitated before buying. Nevertheless the chuck turned out to work fine, with no issues at all. I do however only use it for drilling and would not recommend it for other large diameter tools because chucks cannot handle torque as well as collets do.
Many reviews I read before buying the dremel 4486 chuck said that the customer received the item and it was frozen (could not get it to open). Well, the reason is that it appears to look like a normal chuck but works differently. You have to first attach (screw on) the chuck to your dremel tool after you have removed the original collet inside the dremel tool shaft. You then use the locking shaft feature on the dremel tool to lock the shaft and then at the same time use your dremel wrench to turn the barrel of the chuck to grip the item you are wanting to "chuck up". Once I figured that out I have been very happy with the versatility it offers. I almost took it back too before I discovered the code. Unfortunately the blister package was no help.
I needed a new chuck for my 4300 dremel tool. The current one got messed up through my own fault. The new chuck, #4486, is visibly smaller and less substantial than the original that came with the tool. I use the tool a lot for different jobs. Honestly, I don't know if the smaller size means it will not perform as well but, if I had to buy a similar tool, it would make me look at other vendors to see how they compared.
About 10 months ago I had this same problem of not being able to remove this chuck. Today I was curious about trying again because the idea of how it works is great for me and I am glad I came to the source and read these reviews - all this time I assumed I had done something wrong! I replaced the tool at the time and will now not consider using this product again!!
I just bought the 4486 chuck for my brand new 4200 dremel, hoping that I could start using bits smaller than 1/8. I can't figure out how it fits. I don't think it does. I'm beginning to think I can't use bits smaller than 1/8 in this dremel. If that's the case I'd like to have known that before I bought it. Frustrated.
Like others already mentioned, this chuck has a HUGE design flow. It is mission impossible to release the prongs if you fully tightened them, even when only light finger pressure was applied. I tried to loose this chuck for like 20 mins, after it got deadlocked with no success whatsoever.
