DremelEZ402 EZ Lock Mandrel, 1/8 inch (3.2mm) Shank Rotary Tool Accessory Mandrel

Simple to use. Fast change from one type of drum to another.

Perfect just what I needed for my cutting wheels.

Works as designed, makes changing EZ accessories a snap.

The EZ Lock Mandrel works as advertised. It allows for very quick and easy replacement of cutting, sanding and buffing heads, No tools are required to change heads once the mandrel is mounted in the Dremel tool. It is a big improvement over the screw head mandrel which requires a small screw to be removed from the top of the mandrel each time you want to change or replace a head. The only down side is that the mounting bracket which fits the cutting,sanding or buffing head to the mandrel tends to break away from the head too often. I recently completed a project using the EZ Lock Cutting heads designed for plastic to cut a piece of plexiglass to make a 32" round cover for a coffee table. The tool worked brilliantly the edges cleaned up with a light buff from the EZ Lock buffing pads. The problem was that I went through at least 6 cutting heads due to the fact that the metal bracket meant to mount the cutting head to the EZ Lock Mandrel kept separating from the head, rendering the cutting wheel useless. I finally switched back to the traditional mandrel and finished the job without having to change cutting heads. Note that the EZ Lock Cutting Wheels did not wear down and still had plenty of life remaining - they just broke away from the mount. This could have been because I was using them to cut a radius which caused tension on the mount, but I did not force them and they were cutting fine. If you are making straight cuts, and will have to change heads, this tool is worth the investment. Also note, the EZ Lock Mandrel will only work with heads that are designated as EZ Lock. You will not be able to use the EZ Lock Mandrel with other manufacturer's tool heads as you can with the standard mandrel. The only other downside of the EZ Lock line up is the cost. The replacement tool heads are about three times more expensive that their standard mandrel counterparts, but you pay for convenience.

Works great but don't drop it. One drop on the head and it will bend. Other than bending one these work great

It works perfectly

Value was excellent. Easy to use.

Needed this since my old one bent.
