i like it very much. i just use it to published my smart phone and i don't it is useful when i make model kit. The problem is when i finished work and remove it i find The axle in side is very easy come out .
Dremel obviously changed something within the manufacturing of either the flex shaft or the Dremel Chuck 4486?? I've used these together for years. Bought new flex shaft and tried 3 brand new Dremel Chuck 4486s and none of them screw on properly into the flex shaft. Also, the collet nuts are now made of PLASTIC. Shame on you, Dremel.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate you letting us know you're having trouble - and are very sorry to hear it. The 225 Flex Shaft Attachment should work with the keyless chuck. And our collet nuts can't be made of plastic - they would melt during use. We aren't sure what you have going on there, but we'll contact you to get some additional detail and see if we can help you resolve it.
i set up a work station in my basement so with the 8220 dremel and the rotary engraving attachment I was able to complete a lot of projects very fast and they look great! I hang the dremel with its hook(great idea) and it's simple to use. Love it!
I love my dremels I am a silversmith and it works great for me I use it everyday and work it hard I also do lapidary work and with a few of the attachments I make beautiful turquoise jewelry.
I bought this attachment a month ago and I use it all the time.I just leave it hooked up and all i have to do is turn on the dremel and I'm good to go.it's light handles well and fits in anywere.
I had the old flex tool, you needed three hands and a clamp to change out the bit. I got my new one yesterday (I finally threw the old one in the recycle bin, it made me so angry). It is like a new light has been cast into my home, and the air is fresher and I walk with a new sense of pridel
