Hi wgardner,

Thanks for the heads-up. I have read the reviews. I think the failures are due to the very small square shaft that connects to the Dremel. The rest looks substantial enough. I plan to test with torque numbers x 3, and if it breaks, rework the connection to the motor. A nice feature of the square shaft is that it's very forgiving of alignment. I'll post a screen-shot later...
