Since I’ve picked up a lot of useful information from this site I figured I would offer up a little info for whoever may want it on the Bosch made Craftsman Dremel Rotary / Multi tools.
The Model number of mine is 395 and the Sears number is 572.610031, but I believe this repair applies to a lot of the Bosch Rotary / Multi Tools. Mine is over 25 years old (IIRC) and has been used on a lot of different kinds of projects from crafts to auto to home / garage repairs. I was working on a crafts thing my g/f has going when chuck on my tool (the Dremel) quit turning. I did a search here and on Google, Google turned up the 2 links below. It has served my very, very well and I didn’t want a potentially poorer made replacement.
My local Sears (3 stores within 50 miles) did not have replacements or parts in stock. The repair part I found on Amazon was called a “Dremel 395 Corded Multi-Tool Replacement Coupling # 2615294309 (2 PACK)”. I got it for $ 7.50 – it didn’t cost anything to ship.
Coupling/Bushing Replacement Video (less than 3 minutes).
It is a pretty good video explanation but a few things the video doesn’t mention are:
The hanging attachment is easily pried off with a screwdriver or similar tool.
When reassembling the tool use the screw on collar to hold the nose of the tool together while inserting the body screws. This frees up one hand to hold the tool in whatever position is comfortable while screwing the body back together. Then remove the collar to attach the 2 screws under the collar.
The hardest part of the repair is dealing with the little spring attached to the sliding chuck lock. It is just a patience thing to get it back on with big hands. A little pick would help.
It is working great again so now I have to go back to working on things.
I haven’t done this yet as mine does not seem to need it but I found it in my search for the coupling repair. It looks to be very easy too.
Brush change out.
Hopefully this makes up for mentioning the P-word in regard to my garage air line questions.
BTW, if anyone has an older Dremel with a broken coupling they don’t want I may be interested.
This is a pic of the Dremel opened up.
