Not so "Universal " for Dremel MM50

I love DeWalt tools. Basically, I rely on them to always do what they say when they say it and no fuss, no fuss. I bought this blade as a "universal" replacement blade for a worn Dremel blade that fits my Dremel MM50. The packaging says "Generic" and the brand "Dremel" for which it is generic. This *NOT* applies if your Dremel is a Multi-Max MM50. I'm sure it's probably written somewhere (hint: not on the box!), but for an item that advertises itself as 'universal' and 'suitable' for the Dremel brand, it is little disappointing. In addition, Dremel itself makes a truly universal model (see below, above - Dremel, below - DeWalt in the package). As you can see, the Dremel "universal" has two sizes of hook holes, DeWalt has only one (and it's larger). So - this thing just falls off the tool. So why still 3 stars? I was still climbing out of the blade and had a feeling (you know that one) that my wife wouldn't want to spend a few more days waiting for refills, so I cut off the shim. Half that size was large enough for the Dremel tool to attach to the DeWalt blade, and wedged the two halves between the DeWalt blade and the tool's pin and screwed them in place. When it's actually on the instrument, it works very well. As you can see, I've actually used it quite a bit in this configuration, but it was a bit far from ideal.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Modern
