Real dremel product. Works awesome.

It's a Dremel, that should say it all.

My wife has a Dremel that's old enough to have stories to tell, so I wasn't entirely sure how well this attachment would work with it. As it turns out, it fit perfectly and worked right from the start. The biggest advantage is comfort and control. Instead of holding the weight of the entire tool, you're working with a much lighter handpiece, which makes detailed work feel more natural and less tiring. The difference was noticeable almost immediately. The flex shaft runs smoothly, installation was straightforward, and it has performed exactly as hoped. It's one of those accessories that doesn't just add a feature—it changes how you use the tool. If you have an older Dremel sitting in the shop, don't assume it's too old for this attachment. Ours wasn't, and the combination works beautifully.

This attachment has all the power of holding the tool directly without the cumbersome size and weight of the tool. Very easy to use and makes the work so much easier. I gave 4 stars because the first one broke 10 minutes into using it. It was quickly and easily replaced so I am still quite happy with it.

I’ve been using the Dremel Flex Shaft attachment for over a year now, and it has completely changed the way I use my rotary tool. If you do any kind of detailed work, this is a game-changer. Flexibility & Precision The biggest advantage of the flex shaft is how much easier it makes fine, detailed work. Instead of holding the full-weight rotary tool, you can use just the lightweight handpiece, which gives you much better control. This is especially useful for engraving, polishing, and intricate carving. I’ve used it on wood, metal, and resin, and it handles all of them well. Ease of Use & Comfort Attaching the flex shaft to my Dremel was straightforward. It screws onto the tool easily, and the inner cable rotates smoothly. The handpiece is much more comfortable to hold for long periods compared to gripping the bulky main tool. However, I’d recommend hanging your Dremel on a stand or hook to prevent strain on the cable. Durability & Maintenance So far, the build quality seems solid. The cable runs smoothly without any kinks or resistance. Just make sure to keep it properly lubricated as recommended in the manual to extend its lifespan. Some users have reported issues with the inner cable breaking over time, so I’ll update this review if I run into any problems. Things to Consider • The flex shaft does get warm after extended use, so take breaks if needed. • You’ll need to occasionally lubricate the inner cable for smooth operation. • Make sure your Dremel has a high enough RPM rating for optimal performance. Final Verdict If you do a lot of precision work with your Dremel, this attachment is absolutely worth it. It makes carving, engraving, sanding, and polishing so much easier and more comfortable. Just take care of it properly, and it should last a long time.

I just used this to grind out old glue in plastic inserts holes in the playfield of a 1978 playboy pinball game I'm restoring the playfield on. With ot and the Demel tool stand O bought on Amazon I was able to grind the holes comfortably. If I had to hold the tool in my hand it would have been extremely uncomfortable. It performed exceptionally. I'd highly recommend buying one.

I own the Dremel 8000-03 Cordless which is only 14oz. I partly bought it because I wanted a relatively light tool for small work. Most of the usefulness of the flex shaft attachment is in reducing the weight of what you have to hold in your hand for detail work, so this attachment isn't quite as useful to me as it would be if I had one of the corded models that weights twice as much. I bought it anyway, along with the Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment just so I'd have it around in case I needed to get in to tighter spaces or needed further "weight reduction" over holding the tool itself in one hand. If I were using a corded model it would be absolutely essential for me for what I do. Because it isn't something that I normally need, I haven't used it that much and probably won't use it routinely, so I can't properly speak to its durability. (I usually go back and update these reviews after a while though to update people on that.) But in my testing it feels very sturdy and solid and so I feel confident in its ability to hold up when maintained properly. (Not stored so that it bends at sharp angles, greased at intervals as specified in the manual, etc.) It seems to have no problem working with the Dremel 4486 Keyless Chuck . Attaching and removing the flex drive from the tool itself it is similar to attaching and removing the right angle attachment (you need to replace the collet nut or chuck on the rotary tool with a "drive" adapter that the cable slots into) both of which are pretty easy. I am not entirely sure if it's OK to attach the right angle adapter to the handheld part of the flex shaft as it seems like together they may create too much friction on the drive and thus possibly too much additional load on the motor. (Remember these rotary tools power accessories based on speed, not on torque. High speed low torque often does not deal with too much continuous load very well.) Anyone who knows if this is considered OK or who has long term experience using both together please post a comment. A couple of things that you must keep in mind when using this: 1) You really do want to hang the tool up above where you're working when you're using this flex thing. I can't say exactly why, but most likely it has to do with keeping the amount of friction low (increased when more of the shaft is curved vs straight) and keeping the shaft from bending at too sharp of an angle. If you have the Dremel 220-01 Work Station drill press type thing then that comes with an extendable hanger but I can't see any good reason to buy that thing just to get a hanger. In fact almost anyone could come up with something much less expensive and more secure than using the hanger on that. Screw an eye screw into the ceiling and hang it from a rope or run a "clothesline" across your work area and hang it on a couple of "S" hooks, or something. If you don't hang the tool I doubt the shaft is going to shred itself immediately but I'm sure it won't last as long, will be more likely to get damaged by an accidental sharp bend, and won't be able to run at as high of a speed due to the increased friction. 2) NOTE! In case you miss the little note in the box, you really do want to run this thing at high speed for a couple of minutes with it hung straight down and no accessory attached. It'll make some disconcerting little ticking sounds at first but those will stop after several seconds. I suspect the point of this is that you want to evenly distribute the grease inside the shaft before running it while bent or otherwise doing any real work. Again, I doubt you'll shred the thing if you don't do this, but at the very least you might have a little trouble with your grinding, etc, for a minute if you try to use it immediately since it's going to distribute grease or otherwise break itself in when first used no matter what. It really will run at 35,000RPM and it really is OK to run it like this for two minutes straight without doing anything. It won't whip around or anything so this is pretty safe. (My cats weren't even that afraid of it while it was doing this.) 3) You will need to grease the thing at periodic intervals as the manual says or you will eventually shred the flexible cable inside the jacket. The grease you use for this is as common as dirt at auto parts stores though. So in short, this attachment is pretty important if you want to use a heavier model of a dremel in one hand. The other option in this case is to buy an additional smaller rotary tool for one-handed use but you'll probably end up with less power for more money if you take that option. If you already have a light tool that you can hold in one hand for a sufficient time without much trouble then you might want to hold off on buying this until the need arises. But in any case, this is a solid quality attachment that you'll likely be very happy with if and when you do have a use for it.

If you have a Dremel rotary tool, at some point or another you are going to want one of these Flex Shaft Attachments. It brings a whole new world of capability and flexibility to your Dremel. The 36-inch shaft takes the power of your Dremel tool to corners, tight spaces, and the most difficult of places your work can take you. The flexible shaft design provides superior handling and control for the most demanding of projects. Plus, power is delivered right where you need it most. Setup is easy, just connect the Flex Shaft to your Dremel tool (I use the drill press vertical stand to hold the main unit while I work with the Flex Shaft proper), an appropriate bit to the Flex Shaft, and you are good to go! Trust me, once you see what the Dremel Flex Shaft can do, you’re going to wonder how you ever did without it!

Não usei ainda, mas o produto veio solto dentro de uma caixa muito maior que ele. Embalagem muito ruim

alles ok

2本目です。1本目はかなりの頻度で使っていましたが、無理な負荷をかけてしまったため、ワイヤーが中で切れてしまいました。 使いやすく、頑丈なので再購入です。

apenas lo use y se rompio el cable

Comodo, perfettamente maneggevole. Nato per i multifunzione Dremel è anche compatibile con alcuni multifunzione economici, ATTENZIONE!!! Alcuni strumenti simili ai Dremel hanno il il diametro del collare più grande e pertanto impossibile adattarci questo flessibile. Se avete un Dremel è consigliatissimo
