Default Convert model w/snake, to non-snake?

Hello

I have a (Dremel-manufactured) Craftsman variable rotary tool, model
#572-251471. It has the snake already attached and it is somewhat
annoying. I would like to install the collar & collet to make it a
non-snake model and cannot seem to find the non-snake equivalent to
order the parts. I can't believe that they produced the body & motor
on mine to only use it on a snake-model.

I have gone through countless diagrams on Sears Parts website and have
no way of knowing from the crude diagrams if any of the non-whip pieces
are the correct size for mine.

Does anyone know which collar and collet I may be able to use on mine
to convert to non-snake use? This is a Made in USA model and I REALLY
do not want to be forced to replace it with some piece of crap from
China.

Thank you
