What Customers Are Saying

The sanding bit provides a smooth sanding experience and works well in small, tight spaces. Many users appreciate the easy drum changes without needing tools. However, some customers have experienced issues with the sanding sleeve or drum not staying securely in place, causing it to slip or fly off during use. There also seem to be manufacturing variations, with some customers having success while others faced difficulties. Overall, the sanding bit appears to be a helpful tool for many users, but the reliability and durability of the product seem to be inconsistent.

Dremel tool

The mandrel design is useless. Go back to the original with screw tightening

We're sorry to hear that the Dremel EZ407SA EZ Lock Mandrel doesn't work as expected. We would like to hear more about your experience, we are always...

Nice but limited in use

Would Recommend

I have for years been frustrated with the effort it took to change drums on the old style “screw type” sanding head so when I saw this I was excited. However, in use, the drum tends to ride up on the inner rubber wheel and will fly off unless I stop the tool and push the drum back down. Just a little frustrating.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

This sanding drum just didn’t hold up as well as the older style sanding drum from my older Dremel kit.

I used it one time and it wouldn't keep the paper on after the first use.

Does Not Hold

Would Not Recommend

I was just as excited as anyone to finally have an easier way to change the sanding disc. imagine my disappointment when I found the disc walking off the tool immediately upon use. I thought I used too much pressure, tried a different angle; all to no avail. I'm unsure if I merely got a bad one, or if the people that like this tool got a rare good one.

dremel time

Would Recommend

Getting rid of the annoying little screw that held the previous version of the sanding bit to the shank is a great idea. That thing would shear off. It would roll under something on the work bench.

Useful for Hobbies/Modeling

Would Recommend

Seriously, I use my Dremel tool quite often as I build scenery and little things for the O-Scale Layout (trains) and this is something I've used a LOT since then (these little sanding bits are great for that purpose). I've been trying to find the smaller diameter Sanding Bits, but they seem to be much harder to come across lately. These bits do last for a while, I've just had to change the sanding band.

Quick and easy!

Would Recommend

I find this to be very easy to use and now quicker for me to change the sanding belts. I used to not change the belts as often as I should. This fixes that.

Major Improvement!

Would Recommend

Soooooo much easier to use instead of the old expanding screw type, especially if you have ever dropped the screw. Done it more than once & now will never do it again. Thank You.

Dremel quick change drum sander

Would Recommend

I've only had this for a short time but love it. It is so much faster to change grit or replace worn drum paper. It is so fast to change compare to the older method. Now my wife can change them out easily for her crafts too. I wish they had this years ago. Great tool and addition to Dremel bits.
