Do they have Menard's in Des Moines?

If so, they stock tons of Dremel accessories- it's a leap of faith,
but if you know that the Craftsman was manufactured by Dremel, you may
as well try out a Dremel one.

If not, and if the Craftsman flex shaft is anything like Dremel's at
all, you should be able to pull the nut and collet off the end of the
shaft and use it normally without the flex shaft attached. The only
thing that changes with the Dremel is that there is a plastic "neck"
that screws on the body, but it is not a functional part- I think it's
just to keep the plastic threads from getting banged up.
