I use all dremel attachments and tool bits; I use them continually. I have 4 of the 10 volt units and could not get along without them.
In my opinion, the ez lock is the worst piece of junk that I have ever encountered. If you hold it exactly straight and don't waiver; and don't use much pressure it works pretty well. If you bind it or put any strain on the cut off wheel the center breaks out. I agree that the ez line is a substandard quality item that does not fit the normal dremel service output.
I found that out after purchasing about $100 worth of ez line stuff.
The small screw on wheels work wonders.

I agree with that I seldom diss anything from Dremel but this system is a bust as far as I am concerned.

When I first saw EZ lock I thought it was the best idea in a long time. I immediately purchased about $100 worth of various parts and commenced to use them. They worked fine until I had to get into a tight place and could not keep them exactly straight without any side pressure on them at all; they then commenced to have the center break out of the wheel. Just the tiniest bit of side pressure and the wheel goes; in my opinion it is extremely fragile.
I use the regular reinforced cutoff wheels all the time, and have never broken one.
The 90 degree drive adapter and these cut off wheels are both way too fragile for any amount of real work.

| Folks: The EZ lock discs are designed to cut on their EDGES only. They are not intended for shaping or sanding on their face or back. The discs WILL break if you try to do this. This is a built-in feature so that YOU (the user) do not get hurt. This is clearly spelled out in the product literature that comes with the discs. If you need a shaping/sanding disc, try the #801 or 543 Carbide wheels , or the EZ544 EZ lock carbide wheel.

| I know the feeling in your hands when trying to chang those darnd little things ! And as far as how long the disk last it IS HOW YOU use them ! If you are in to big a hurry you are useing the wrong tool for the job as the Dremel ismade to help you doa job NOT DO THE JOB all at once ! So the lighter the contact with the object you are working the longer the disk will last and the better the job will turn out ! Robert Wyant

| The easy lock has worked great for me. Much quicker than changing out the mandrel or putting a new tool on the mandrel head. I look forward to seeing more tools coming out with the EZ spindle. As far as tool breakage; I've not found it to be a problem when using the tool as designed and instructed.
