Improperly assembled!!!! [Posted on 2006-01-10]
The joker in India that assembled this thing should be fired (yes, it's made in India). The collet was installed backwards in the nut. I'd hate to think of what would happen if someone actually tried to use it as assembled.

Mine was backwards too! [Posted on 2006-03-22]
Like another reviewer's, my collet was shipped from the factory assembled improperly, with the collet inserted backwards in the locking nut. Ridiculous. I was quite nervous about reversing the piece without damaging the brand-new parts, but they are basically pressure-fitted, and can be removed and reinstalled with a pair of (strong) bare hands.

Now it works fine, although I find installation of bits more of a nuisance than with my Bosch router.

it works [Posted on 2007-05-14]
This item appears well made and functioned well for the limted time of usage since purchase.

Just a warnning do not use this collet for prolonged time because the prior collet shatter after prolonged use when removing a bit.

Good collet [Posted on 2007-08-08]
I needed the 1/4" collet for my 3 1/2 hp milwaukee for some of the smaller bits I use. It works well as do all milwaukee products.
