they got it right the second time 
2008-01-26
In 1994 I purchased a Dremel kit and a version of this chuck was included. I was quite excited as those who have worked with the fixed-size collets know how pesky they are, especially for small drill bits.
ohmi Vibration. I contacted Dremel Manufacturing and they, in 1995, had withdrawn this chuck as it was "too heavy" and "did not run true." They were glad to send me a package of fixed collets (but, having about fifteen different Dremels -- AC and battery), I have enough collets, thank you.
Several years passed and then I saw that the adjustable chuck was again provided. I have one and will get more ... Dremel has solved the 'balance' issues which, are mighty, given the mass of this steel and speeds of 30K RPM.
Also, I am a fan of the 50-bit box sets of carbide drills. When Harbor Freight sold these at half price, $4, I bought eight boxes. However, if you've tried these, you know that using such bits on metals, even 'soft' metals, they break easily.
Using the variable chuck I devised a solution. If you have ever tried to deal with a carbide drill, broken off in a drill hole that is critical, you will mightily appreciate this ... so ... for $9.95, check or Paypal, I'll provide instructions and 2 additional components that virtually eliminate breakage.
And, if you haven't tried such a drill, for $12.95 I will send the instructions, kit, and 3 carbide drills for you to try. Quite honestly, if you have not had the delight of using a carbide to drill, say, medium-hard steel, or even a printed circuit board, you will be very pleased.

it may vary, but mine is nicely centered, no wobble. doesn't hold quite as snug as a collet.

This item works great. My only question is why doesn't the manufacturer provide it as a stock item with all its tools?
I love it!

I began using the Multipro Chuck as soon as I got it! No need to switch collets and it will hold the tiniest bit. It is just what I needed to interchange brand accessories.
Love it, love it!
Nice Idea, Doesn't Work Too Well 
2007-07-16
This is a really nice idea from Dremel that is supposed to make changing bits a lot faster. And that it does. Plus it is very well made. However, I stopped using it as no matter how hard you tighten it, it loosens up and the bit begins to wobble (not a good thing at 5000 rpm). Then you have to stop and retighten. So it's too much of a bother. I do not recommend this item.

Simplify the use of dremel.
With this chuck, it is easier to change the tool of the dremel. Changing a tool on a dremel becomes as easy and fast as doing it on a standard drill.

When used as directed in accompanying instructions this item performs exactly as claimed. There's no doubt in my mind that this is one of Dremel's better attachments.
not too good 
2006-10-07
I have not found this item very good for its supposed use. I have tried to use it a couple times already, and each time the bit I had in it would come loose and start slipping around. Perhaps if the bits were flat on the edges to hold them better. But this chuck is not work the money. I would not recommend or buy again.
great idea of dremel 
2006-08-13
is a great idea of dremel to include this item for all the rotatory tools because you save a lot of on the adapters on each size of accesory you want to use, with the chuck you dont care about the size just place it and ajust it and is ready for use.
