Mod your power tools, too

Here's a little tech tip. A while ago, I bought a Black & Decker RTX to replace a cordless Dremel which had some battery and case issues. While an RTX is a lot cheaper than a Dremel, the one I had came with a decidedly second-rate collet. The tools would often slip while the collet would keep on spinning. Well, as it turns out, there was an easy fix: The collet from the Dremel slipped right on. Problem solved.
