So my dremel 3000 shaft is starting to get stripped and I cannot take out the sanding drum. I’m looking at the dremel 4200, does anyone have an idea on how well they work and would anyone recommend me a better corded rotary tools if so, I need your help.

The collet nut is stripped? Replacing it would be a lot cheaper. I’ve heard the quick release has some bugs.

The shaft lock is slipping when I press it down and try to unscrew the collet nut.

Is there no other way to hold the shaft from spinning such as a pair of pliers?

No expeierence on the newer dremel I still have a 400xpr but don’t use it much, it needs brushes, I pretty much replaced it with the cordless Milwaukee rotary
