Reviews
"Kind of tricky to get used to, but after a couple screws you'll be just fine."
"If you buy a impact driver, this, and a cheap impact driver kit (like 30$) you will have a great set up."
"I purchased two of these at christmas as presents and they work great to get to the nooks that a regular driver cannot reach."
"It is challenging sometimes to change bits and the plastic side support handle is a joke."
"I read a few reviews that talked about stripping out the gears so i dont let my buddies with 18v and 20v impacts use it."
"Great tool for getting into tight spots."
"It certainly delivers access to difficult to reach areas and the fast release is another plus, but none of that matters much due to the quality of the internal gears, which I managed to strip after 2 light-weight uses of the tool."

Reviews
"Eventually I plan to use it on either a Foredom or Mastercarver flexshaft system, though it might be handy to have it available just for detail sanding on the Chicago Electric."
"I hooked this up to my harbor freight grinder, and saved a couple hundred simollions."
"Because of its maximum 1/4 inch collet size, the 44T allows one to use pa wider range of mounted grinding and sanding points, uncluding smaller die grinder points."
"Very good handpiece with three different bushings for the common shaft sizes up to a quarter of an inch."
"Fits my Harbor Freight engraver/grinder and makes working on my projects so much easier."
"You'll find out why it costs so much once you take it out of the box."

"My bearings felt extremely consistent the entire length of the shaft."

"As described, all I can ask for."
"It's simply the shaft in the description, don't expect more."
"Great product and quality, however, I opened a 48" rod today;-) It's all good just gonna have to cut it if I can after reading some of the reviews."

Best Set-Screw Shaft Collars

Climax Metal LC-062 Steel Set Screw Collar, Lightweight Zinc Plating, 5/8" Bore Size, 1" OD, With 1/4-20 x 3/16 Set Screw
The two basic types of shaft collars are clamping (or split) collars, which come in one- or two-piece designs, and setscrew collars. In setscrew collars, screws are tightened through the collar until they press directly against the shaft, and in clamping collars, screws are tightened to uniformly compress the collar around the shaft without impinging or marring it. Setscrew collars and one-piece clamping collars must be installed by sliding the collar over the end of the shaft, while two-piece clamping collars separate into two halves and can be installed between components on the shaft. Setscrew shaft collar for applications supporting low axial loads and simple positioning.
Reviews
"The "elegant technical solution" Replaced some aggravating washer/cotter pin wheel/axle mounts on some 5/8 inch bore/OD axles."
"These seem to be much higher quality than I expected for the price."
"This was exactly what I needed to secure the wheels to a hand truck, which had come with the install-once style of pushnut retaining clips on the axles."
"Will be buying more."
"The hard steel of these collars actually damage the edges of the axles if you aren't careful, making it virtually impossible to get on after that."
"I was able to use it on two aftermarket tool rests though."
