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.

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.

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.

it is what it is – it works as expected – can’t get overly excited… it’s a 1/4″ collet

I have several Milwaukee routers and several Porter Cable. The Milwaukee’s have much less runnout than the PC’s. They seem to run a little quieter too.

I needed a 1/4″ collet, no one had one in town. I ordered one from a tool repair shop, the delivery was going to be a couple of weeks. I thought I’d see what I could find online as I could always use a spare. Amazon was the first source that came up. I ordered the collet and it was in my hands – in Candada mind you – in two days.

The collet is great, but I’m really blown away by Amazon’s service.
