Cheap at twice the price

This chuck (which I consider to be essential) greatly enhances the convenience of any Dremel. You might be tempted to save the old collet device this chuck replaces, but before long you will discard it as useless trash. I do a lot of really miniature work and I find the chuck to be great for holding things as small as a 1/64th inch drill. I have one on each of my 3 Dremels.
Haven't taken it off in 17 years.

It really works and is by far the most valuable accessory for the Dremel. It closes down to near 0 for the smallest of drill bits (much smaller than a sewing needle) yet still holds larger bits than the "large" hex collet. It is well made and durable, withstanding everything from concrete and tile dust to oily metal shavings. It must be tightened with considerable force to resist slipping under heavy use but that's to be expected.
It's time for you to "chuck" the collets...

I consider the MultiPro chuck to be the best accessory ever made for the Dremel tool. When you're doing work that requires constant bit changes, the changing of collets to fit a bit of a particular diameter becomes a real frustration, and wastes time. So, needless to say, an adjustable chuck is a real boon for these kinds of jobs. Just loosen it to remove one bit, pop in another, tighten, and vwah-lah! The collet nut and collets become pretty much obsolete.
The chuck may seem somewhat pricey, but when you consider the time you'll save and the convenience you'll enjoy, it's well worth the extra investment.

Nice idea, but not 100%

While I do like the conevience of the chuck, it does not rotate 100% true. This causes a very slight wobble at the tip of any drill bit. I have tried 2 different chucks, but both yield the same results. I only use the chuck when absolute precision isn't required.
Dremel 4486 MultiPro Chuck.

I don't understand why Dremel doesn't include this great little chuck as a standard accessory with all their Multi-Tools. It is so much easier, faster and less frustrating than fumbling with the tiny collar and wrench that the tools come equipped with. If you change bits on your Dremel often, as most users do, you will quickly come to appreciate the 4486. As for me, the 4486 is comparable to the Flex-Shaft as one of the single most worthwhile attachments available for adding versatility and conveience.
Usable But Not Perfect By A3VM8QGTP7FK12 on 2006-02-21
An adjustable drill chuck for the Dremel power tool is a brilliant concept. Unfortunately the manufacturing precision is less than brilliant. I purchased the chuck for diamond drilling my wife's quartz crystals and gem stones in a water bath. The chuck jaws are eccentric (out of true) and a 1 mm diamond drill tip actually moves in a noticeably larger circle. This makes it difficult to start the drill in a hard surface and also causes water to be splashed about when drilling. I have owned large drill presses which are much closer to being true than this chuck. It might work OK for softer materials but I don't understand why it couldn't have been manufactured true in the first place.

No more change of collets, quick and precise change of bits
Awesome time-saver, but not for use with other attachments By A1RPOE42PF2MHF on 2002-12-04
I rarely use the standard collet that comes with the tool any more, after buying this item. No more looking for a wrench (which I invariably loose), etc. Beware, though: I took for granted that it would be compatible with my chainsaw charpening attachment. It is not. If you use other attachments, don't expect to be able to use this at the same time. If you don't use other attachments...well...go on to the next review. Well worth the buy, in my opinion
not too good By A15BN1AMRT8FP1 on 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 Accessory By AUEB3S9MLFG9X on 2000-01-13
The minute I saw how Dremel had come out with it I was in heavy anticipation. The fact that with this thing which mounts in seconds in place of the Collet nut makes it perfect for instances where you might have to switch from maybe a 1/6 drill bit to a grinding stone with a 1/8 inch shank. Every Dremel Owner should have this accessory.
Nice Idea, Doesn't Work Too Well By A8BHUCQTGUKZU on 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.
Dremel By A1LOQ6VH5UDXQ1 on 2006-03-23
The tool performs exactly as required and it it easy to use. This is consistent with other Dremel products I have owned.
One of the best dremel accessories. By A2T8CFVJLJ2AZ9 on 2006-08-11
When I saw this chuck I had to have it. I have two 400 XPR's, flex shafts, etc.. This dremel chuck has not left the one flex shaft since I bought it. Makes for fast and easy bit changing, saves time and saves the headaches with the collets. This is a must have.
simple and handy By AWQV2QYGD53U6 on 2006-02-02
fits my dremel 400 xpr just fine and makes changing bits a lot easier
great idea of dremel By A1222AGGX28DNW on 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.
Get a Grip By ALSNF0P1EBZ9U on 2006-11-25
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.
its so fine By AHGA436XPD9N9 on 2007-08-28
it may vary, but mine is nicely centered, no wobble. doesn't hold quite as snug as a collet.
I love it! By A2611MMT0DKQTC on 2007-08-21
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!
Dremel chuck By A1DOJ4SG4O39DJ on 2007-08-23
This item works great. My only question is why doesn't the manufacturer provide it as a stock item with all its tools?
usefull By AEVSX0JKT2FJ9 on 2007-03-24
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.
