## Description

ENKAY - Heavy Duty Flex Shaft with 1/4 inch Keyless Chuck (56 inches) - Heavey Duty Flexible Shaft Drill - desertcart.com

Review: Very Good Flex Shaft And A Good Value - I have enjoyed using this very good flex shaft. The chuck holds my sanding and grinding bits firmly and is comfortable to use. I originally used it with my drill press, but purchased a second flex shaft and set it up using an old sewing machine motor with a foot pedal for speed. I set up a small work station and use this daily for all kinds of tasks. The video shows using a nylon abrasive brush in the flex chuck to remove rust from a vintage machinist's wrench. Works great. Just need to make sure to wear safety glasses and a dust mask. The chuck holds very good, and will hold the 1/4-inch round and 1/4-inch hex tool shafts.
Review: Good value for your money - I had one of these from Guinevere that worked well for a couple years. I use it with an inflatable sanding drum. Let me give you a warning on using this that way. I was holding the work piece up close to my body with my left hand and sanding it with this shaft in my right. The sanding drum caught on to my sweatshirt and the whole thing rolled up my shirt pulling the 1/2hp motor off the bench and hitting the floor yanking the power cord out of the wall. I held on tightly and received no injury. That happened twice. The second time it bent the flexible outer sheath of the flex shaft right at the handle rendering it useless. So I ordered this one as a replacement. I found this to be as good as the Guinevere at half the price with the caveat that the chuck that comes on this one is 6mm max. It will not contain a 1/4" shaft which is what is on the Guinevere sanding drum as well as others. So I had to swap the keyed chuck from the broken Guinevere to this one and was back in business. I was looking forward to using the keyless chuck but it wasn't to be. Had I not had the chuck from the Guinevere it would not have worked for my application and I would have been disappointed. But this works great for my needs and I recommend it. The quality is just as good as the more expensive brand. I would like to see the maker increase the chuck size to 6.5mm so it will hold a 1/4" shaft which is a standard in the US. It's kind of ridicules that it won't. Just be careful with your clothing and sanding drums.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you attach this to a die grinder?**
A: Not likely, Most die grinders operate at speeds at or around 30,000 RPM. Keep in mind this flex shaft has an operating limit of 10,000 RPM.  Exceeding that could be dangerous to the operator. Assembly could come apart and result in injury from flying parts.

**Q: Do you think this would work with a small cutting disc to cut into grout/mortar like a dremel?**
A: Julie, I use mine for sanding wooden bowls. It works great for that. I wouldn't use a power tool for cleaning grout lines because it might get away from you and damage your tile. Use the hand tool designed for that job. You can pick one up at any hardware store. Hope this helps you.

**Q: Does iy work with a dremel advantage**
A: The Advantage flex shaft I have unfortunately only takes 1/8 inch collets and accessories, Normal Dremel hand held rotary grinder collets and bits.  Do not know if they make/made a 1/4 inch bit version.

**Q: will this work on a ryboli rotary tool**
A: No. The shaft is 1/4" and the whole thing would be too large for a rotary tool. I have a Dremel and the flexible shaft I use is:  Black & Decker RT5100 RTX High Performance Flexible Shaft by Black & Decker. I think all rotary tools are about the same and this would probably work on a Ryobi.Earl

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy Duty, but Eminently Flexible.
*by T***K on January 13, 2019*

I have been using a permanently mounted flex shaft for my Dremel drill for many years, but needed something similar for work with regular drill bits or a countersink in tight spaces. The total length of the flex shaft is about 55 inches less the portion which goes into the chuck of the drill. The hand tightened chuck of the flex shaft accommodates all drill bits up to 9/32 inch, and is as effective as any hand tightened chuck I have ever used. The diameter of the chuck is about 1 1/2 inches, and there is a 5 1/2 inch handle which provides a comfortable grip. The chuck diameter means that you can drill a hole about 1 inch above a horizontal surface without the spinning chuck touching that surface. While it is a little heavy and stiff, certainly stiffer than the Dremel little cousin, this flex shaft is nevertheless very easy to use once you become accustomed to it; a lightweight flexible shaft might not hold up very well. I had no problem routing the flex shaft to the hard to reach spot for drilling; it was very stable, even with one handed operation, while I controlled drill speed with the other. This flex shaft is a welcome addition to the DIY arsenal for those occasions when you have to drill holes in tight spaces where you can't get the drill itself in there.
