Milwaukee M12 Rotary Tool hack

[@mooksimillians6195]

Milwalki will have them on the shelf soon if this gets out there enough.. good tip!

[@NathanRodger]

Its a great tip! It’s been out there for a few years and Dremel is still the only one with the keyless chuck so far. Gimme options people!

[@mooksimillians6195]

@@NathanRodger I love dremmeling!! I have a few.. made my wife's wedding ring with one, stainless steel.. I'm a classy bloke!

[@Simplelittlelife]

I wonder why this isn't something they would address from the get-go. Hopefully soon 👍

[@masontowery4684]

Milwalki chop sticks are my favorite

[@emort6]

The real fix is to not use the wrench to tighten the collet. Finger tighten on, finger tighten off, just like an angle grinder.

[@Depl0rable10]

Yessir. Never had a bit fly out or loosen

[@byronmoscoso2213]

Lmaooooo, that's what Joe 4 Fingers does too.

[@emort6]

@byronmoscoso2213 The tool spins in the opposite direction. It actually gets tighter every time you pull the trigger, maybe you aren't cut out for this.

[@wethobgoblin2740]

@@emort6taking extra safety precautions is better then doing something just because you feel it’s safe. Keep in mind, not everyone have the strongest hands to do the simplest things.

[@emort6]

@wethobgoblin2740 I'm not saying that I have ultra strong fingers, the rotation of the tool is counter to the tightening of the collet. The second that the grinding wheel or cut off disc hits your work surface it is actually getting tighter, this is by design. I used the wrench the first couple times until I realized how the tool works, that was years ago.

[@cultivationplus6719]

I use the same rotary tool. I'm definitely going to swap this out now! I hate the collet on the m12. The little teeth always get shifted out of place too. Have to smack the bit down inorder for the teeth to release.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Right on. So far after swapping out several times I've found it to be incredibly smooth and works flawlessly. Cheers 👍

[@COEYRN]

After commenting on one of these videos about what a pain it was to change the sanding drums.Alovely man got back to me about this. He actually asked me if I had a weird looking drum in my kit. This was a shared tool between me and my dad who has since passed away. He helped me distinguish what I was looking for. I had about 3 different ones and I just ignoring them. I had two sanding Quick Change drums plus one gor a cutting wheel. I have had such a nice experiences on KZbin with gentleman like this explaining something to me in a way that I could figure it out. So thank you to all the strangers out there. Who have given me a break , and helped. My dad always bought the latest tools and I should have known better😅

[@abdullahhoshmand9568]

I have most of my power tools Milwaukee but for the rotary tool I still had to stick with Dremel their speed adjusting and pen attachment is something I couldn’t pass on

[@abcdfgh4321]

I think you can slap the pen attachment into the Milwaukee if you want to keep the same batteries

[@junkv57]

My old Dremel does the same thing. I don't use that spanner anymore. I just keep a pair of pliers close by, my Leatherman is usually hipside.

[@Simplelittlelife]

I always have my leatherman on me. Even as such, my hands are always the most ready and convenient tools.

[@josephstahl5998]

Dremel also make a collar that replaces the black collar just below the bit that has the wrench built in, and because it's the same size you can use all the Dremel accessories like the 90 degree offset

[@whatthe5416]

Love this tool. My go to for cutting seized bearing off conveyors.

[@manguydude287]

milwaukee is great but sometimes they have too many features of the 10$ harbor freight equivalent

[@bravo_the_broken4003]

Great tip! 👍 Definitely gotta do this to mine, I use it all the time and I'm constantly losing that little wrench 🔧

[@jlondono363]

Made me order one as soon as I watched this, works wonders

[@mattcrawford2666]

Because of this short I bought both items at the same time and it work’s amazing. Thanks for the tip Jeremy

[@rohinhans7819]

The new brushless version of that solves that problem. The 1/4 inch tool is built into the black part at the top

[@NDC1115]

All the Demel collets ect. Are the same and interchangeable. Theres also a nose cone from dremel that has a wrench built into it that works nice

[@taylorgunderson9051]

You can also replace the black collar on the tip of the tool with a dremal brand collar which comes with a built in wrench to the collar.

[@tomashorak6542]

You can use any wrench that fits so if you don't like the little one get a longer one at the same size...

[@strangetamer69x]

I used to have the rotary tool & sold it. No matter what collet I used it always came loose from the vibration of using the tool. I could tighten it as much as possible & it still happened. I love Milwaukee tools but this one I definitely prefer my dremel.

[@Simplelittlelife]

I wonder if you had a bad one. I have found this to be flawless so far. I am glad Milwaukee makes this version because when you already have a bunch of M12 batteries it just makes sense.

[@Iwannagofast]

Did this about 2 years ago. 100% worth it.

[@dan260140]

I was being a cheap as$ and got the knock off version of this for a set of 2. The thing didn’t last a couple of sec before it broke. Seen your video and going to order the dermal version.

[@xcynn3rx]

Dremal has a collar it's threads down as a grip but works as a wrench when u need

[@mathiasmilne]

The Dremel keyless chucks still require using a small wrench or vide grips to undo sometimes because the vibrations of using the rotary tool cause the chuck teeth to move closer and closer until they bind and then you’re in the same boat as before. I tried switching but found the same issue. It doesn’t matter how gentle you are snugging the keyless chuck up it will still (with continuous use) bind and require tools to take the mandrel/tool out of the chuck. Keep your money and stick with what’s provided until it wears out and needs replacing then go town with whichever option you like, just know that you were warned.

[@Simplelittlelife]

I’ve used mine a lot in the last few weeks and have not found that to be true at all. This works just as I’d hoped.

[@davidaix5771]

Yep I actually had it bind up so bad I had to throw it out tried soaking it in Kroil for days with no luck end up destroying at trying to loosen it up and it never loosened up

[@sonnygouge894]

First time I've seen one of your videos.. instant subscribe. Well done fellow traveling man 👊

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! Cheers brother!👍

[@anthonyconde645]

Thanks for the tip..... that will make know making so much easier

[@Simplelittlelife]

You're welcome!

[@BlackenedEclipse]

Bought and tried the Dremel head and wasn’t too impressed, I’d rather just stick to the original collet as I personally found it to have a better hold on bits for my use. Just my preference tho, still a killer M12 tool 💥

[@brookelord3448]

I had that chuck, but I chucked it. It slips. The collet is the perfect fit and provides more surface friction. They haven't implemented a better system yet. All they have to do is make the shank triangular, then the keyless chuck would have a superior grip.

[@crazydisposablehero]

Its good they didn't try to use so.e proprietary size. It will have the same problem with grip as any drill with a keyless chuck. Mine has worked well for years other than slipping when abused though

[@kevintouw4825]

Ive never had it tighten enough to have to use the wrench. Mine always comes off with just my hand

[@_P0tat07_]

I’m not a fan of those keyless chucks. I find they loosen up unless you use a wrench on them. A better option, in my opinion, is the replace the removable nosecone piece, the black plastic piece under the collet. And replace it with a dremel one that has a built in wrench in it. You unscrew it and use it to loosen the collet. I hope what I’m saying makes sense lol

[@rollin18wheels]

Same here. I have bought the Dremel, Ryobi & Hart versions and all 3 were out of balance so badly they were going to damage my rotary tool if I kept using them

Just purchased it because of you

[@yomamma6756]

Keyless chucks are nice I have one on the what’s it called the extension thing looks like a pen

[@thepitpatrol]

Nice tip. I was having the same problem

[@Simplelittlelife]

It's been working 👍

[@GalileonPrime]

Works great! Thank you.

[@pointedspider]

I've gone thru 2 Dremel chucks in the past 10 years if using this tool. Need another one. First one I bought was $5.99, 2nd was $9.99. I just guessing the 3rd will be $39 99

[@bwxbwx6453]

I didn’t know they made that :l I’ve used the brand for years too that would of saved me so much time 😂

[@rollin18wheels]

I have bought 4 different versions of those keyless chucks & all of them are dangerously out of balance, the dremel being the worst, but the best quality material, so I was able to machine away the excess material causing the problem.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Weird. I bought just one and it works perfectly.

[@edisona.543]

Dude! Have a problem, found the solution. This format of video is Great/healthier path.

[@milwsdl39]

That’s when you have the same factory, making everything it all kind of works together

[@michaeljurlin2381]

Wait till you find out the dremmel right angle adapter fits aswell converting your rotary tool to a mini grinder

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

This was a great tip!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@calysagora3615]

Neat. You can save on the hassle by just buying a Dremel from start.

[@Simplelittlelife]

What a stupid comment. Dremels don’t come with a keyless chuck so I’d be doing the same thing. Dah.

[@TheSteveMendezProject]

Where did you buy that ring my dear brother!, i liked it a lot!

[@Simplelittlelife]

And yet the Milwaukee still works great and I don’t have to get into a new battery system. It’s be stupid for me to buy a dremel instead of a Milwaukee.

[@userANAKIN]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bonesrhodes3762]

-- he's right" Milwaukee tools aren't always magic - on occasion they put out a POS - this little tool qualifies: I bought it, hated it, gave it to my daughter ( an M12 user ) who also doesn't like and seldom uses it

[@Near2Future]

My tool doesn't engage until it's on 2.5 speed. When I try use it at 1 it just buzzes & doesn't rotate it's not very old & i've not used it much. Mostly as it only works for about 20seconds then all 4 lights will flash & I need to wait a few mins :/ it's annoying & a headache more then anything!

[@davesober2093]

My voice gets high like that when I use small tools as well.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hahahaha! 👍

[@unreadyuser3738]

My new Milwaukee durable has that built in wrench

[@jimbaker4277]

I have the same tool, the collet is junk. Don’t use the tool and simply put the bits in hand tight.

[@Dplusithicus]

Now is there a tool out there that allows you to put normal-sized drill bits on a rotary tool?

[@ryan74701]

New brushless model is about to come out

[@trekmcdonald9608]

Or you can just unscrew the black tip below the collet and use that since that's what it's made for

[@Simplelittlelife]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this still easier and faster? Yeah. It is. Thanks for the comment though.

[@trekmcdonald9608]

@@Simplelittlelife well if you're still dumb enough to be using the small wrench I figured youd be blown away that you have the tool to solve all your problems already in your hand

I've been wanting to get one of these but I have very little use for it. So that brings me to my question, can the wife use this for her nail 💅 hobby? Is it slow(rpms) enough to safely use?

My wife is a dog groomer and uses it daily to file nails. Way better than any cordless dremel in her opinion.

[@luxlotus6284]

If it goes up to a 1/8" shank, will the rpm be correct for 1/8" burrs?

Why do you buy Milwaukee and not Dremel? I have a big compressor and use only tools powered with air. Never any problems.
