What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this accessory for transforming rotary tool workflows with its pull-and-twist mechanism that swaps attachments in seconds instead of minutes, eliminating the need for screwdrivers or wrenches. Reviewers consistently call it a "game changer" and "must-have," highlighting how the secure lock-in feel keeps accessories firmly in place during use. Many report years of reliable, trouble-free performance across sanding, cutting, grinding, and polishing tasks. A few note initial difficulty seating discs, but this barely registers against the universal enthusiasm for the dramatic improvement in speed, ease, and workflow efficiency.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use, securely holds the attachment in place when locked. It’s a great bit to have in your collection, especially if you do a lot of small sanding projects where you need to change grits frequently.

Great solution for cut of disks and sanding wheels
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always had trouble with the screws on the traditional mandrel. They would either be stuck or else I would drop one on the floor and spend the rest of the day searching on my hands and knees. This thing solves that problem and is very easy to use. The only drawback is you need matching accessories.

Easy To Use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] EZ402 EZ Lock Mandrel is super easy to use and disks are easy to change and they lock into place firmly. I can't speak to long term or heavy use, but the design seems sound. Much easier to use and sturdier than the screw-in-place piece.

Convenient and easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably one of my most used accessories. It saves so much time versus having to switch mandrels each time I want to switch accessories. I've never had any problems with the mandrel. The heads sit on them nice and evenly, and it's so easy to use.

Spring- Loaded Quick Release with Locking Mechnism
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The EZ lock mandrel's spring loaded quick release allows for faster changing of disks without the use of any tools. The mandrel is very sturdy and allows for the disks to be securely locked in place. This mandrel was used with the sanding disk to sand a piece of wood that was roughly cut.

Truly Easy!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great item! It just is so, truly easy, just pull back, twist and let go, and your good to go. I can change from a cutting disc, to a sanding disc, in a flash. There's no more getting the wrench tool (keeping up with it while working), unscrewing the tiny screw (chance of losing screw) etc... All the extra headache that comes with using regular mandrel is gone. It is pretty much as simple as changing a bit on a impact driver. I absolutely love i...

Easy and safe accessory
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first look I was a bit concerned as I read a couple of reviews about safety of this mandrel... I mean, it is a high speed tool that don't seems to be totally safe, so at first I tried forcing it a bit to see how easily the attachments could pop out (Sand discs, cutting discs and polishing disks). The system is very simple though it never came out. I believe it will be as safe as any rotary tool. Safety shall never be overlooked. At the end,...

A Necessary Necessity
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would hate to be without the Mandrel. It makes all the difference in the world. There are so many disc that can be accessed with the mandrel. I can’t imagine using a rotary Dremel without having the mandrel. Can’t live without it.

Pull, Twist, and Release—No More Screwing Around!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The EZ Lock mandrel (EX402) is such a big improvement over the old design, i.e. the Dremel 402 mandrel, which required a tiny screwdriver to secure the tiny screw and the tiny washer to the mandrel shaft. With the improved system (no longer new, as it was introduced back in 2006), it is simply a matter of pull, twist, and release, and since it is a one-piece system, there are no small screws or washers to drop, break off, or lose. This mandrel ...

Dremel EZ Lock mandrel
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dremel EZ Lock mandrel is a great tool. I do a lot of woodcarving and often change out sanding discs as well as polishing and occasional grinding. The EZ Lock mandrel works well and saves me the time/effort of having to manually unscrew the Dremel chuck, switch tools and then retighten before using. I hope that Dremel will follow up with quick change bits as well. I’d be one of their first customers to buy.

Great Time Saver!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily swap out heads to continue focusing on your task at hand. I would easily get distracted when I had to change out my Dremel components as the tedious process took forever. Especially on small projects that require fine detail and constantly changing out sanding and polishing heads.
