Default flexible shafts are breaking too often

I have a Foredom and a genric flexible shaft tool. Both are tearing up the
shafts and rubber sheath.
I can't get but a few hours before something breaks.Sometimes the rubber
sheath melts, sometimes the inner shaft snaps.
I have used alot of grease but that doesn't help.Can anybody tell me how to
extend the lifes of these shafts.
Thanks
