Jim, Foredom is a leader in the industry, as I'm sure you know. The sliver handpiece is one of their standard "middle" line up pieces, quick connect and cable driven. Super torquey and very solid for heavy work. I have another of their handpieces, not shown, that has the quick-connect on the mandrel end. They have collet options for the standard mandrel diameters. Both tools are very capable.
With that said, I have not used them in quite some time as they are pretty much redundant to the 3rd Foredom handpiece, which is the dark gray one just above
the orange cordless pen. That too is a Foredom tool and hands down the best I've ever worked with. It is a brushless micro motor. Love brushless as there are no heat vents that allow dust to pass onto the motor elements, which cause issues over the life of the tool. And, of course, no brushes to wear out. It is soooo smooth and soooo quiet it is very hard to hear it running until you hit 30,000 RPM. It has a range of 1,000-50,000 RPM. But what I was so impressed with is the torque.
It's a bit pricey, but I've always found, for the most part, we get what we pay for. I love it so much, I may get rid of my other Foredom handpieces, drive motor, stand and foot pedal.
and I recently learned those are not the same.
