To the user(s) complaining about tight fit to the tool, did this improve with time? I have five tools and won't purchase five adapters!

I haven't had this very long, but I think the intention of the design is to leave it in the tool. If you have that many tools why would you change battery styles?You can still buy pod battery replacements for your tools.Have you thought about contacting the manufacturer?

I've only got one old Makita drill that I bought the adapter for. I installed the adapter and haven't ever removed it. The adapter works great for me, but a little overpriced.

The adaptor is not designed to be switched out between tools. The tight fit others are describing may be caused by the first initial install. If you plan on getting one unit for each tool you should be good. I have had no problem with my unit and found it to work great.

It still takes some effort to switch from tool to tool. Sprayed on WD 40 and that helped. But I am ok with a snug fit so there is a good connection from battery to adapter to tool.

the adapters are no good with out the batteries, I was billed , mailed a check in. I feel I should not have been billed till batteries were shipped. I would like a delivery date.

I wouldn't want to be switching the adapter from tool to tool very often. To release it from a tool, it is necessary to squeeze two plastic tabs together by hand and much more than minimal effort is required to do so. It seems possible that the clips could be damaged if someone uses a screwdriver to lever the tabs instead of squeezing by hand. It requires patience to remove it from a tool.

I don't use the Makita as a primary tool. It is a circle saw that I bought for installing concrete board siding. I can say that the fitting does stay tight and has not loosened over the past 12 to 18 months.

Although I haven't used the tool a great deal I haven't experienced any problem like this to date. However, I always try to take care of my tools and not abuse them or force them to do things they aren't designed for. This problem sounds like a case of the users overextending the limits of the tool.

I haven't had that problem, but I sure am having a hard time getting it to fit into the universal plug adapters. Not at all what I thought I was buying...

FWIW, I've used Versa-Tool blades for years on a Bosch PS50 (12V) Multi-X and have never needed an adapter. Maybe things have changed. YMMV.

You know, that was a problem at first. I use a Magpul case and the connecter didn't fit though the hole. But I kept wiggling and playing and it worked. The corners of the connector sort of rubbed down (it's rather rubbery) and now it fits perfectly.

The adapter I have was very tight at first. I removed the assembly from the camera and had to use a considerable amount of force to get it to come off the first lens I put it on. Just MAKE SURE the small release pin on the side is pulled back (to release the locking pin) before trying to rotate the adapter when removing it. Be careful not to damage your lens. Best of luck.

Depends on how tight but, it does have some nice attachments. If it' super tight you might want to consider buying a Dremel to get the tight areas - that's what I do. I use both tools. Good luck!

Sorry, I can't help you. I sent the tool back because I couldn't get the smaller hand piece in the U.S. They make a different model of this in Europe that has a smaller interchangeable hand piece. Thought that was kind of weird.

It is not a tight fit. It hangs looselly and sloppy. The slightest nudge disconnects it. It is a universal attachment.Didn't work for me

According to the instructions, no. I have used it for 4". But I tend to abuse my tools. I can't see anything larger fitting.

personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide. That said, I soak ALL my wood handled kitchen utensils in mineral oil before using them to help prevent such problems from happening. But alas, all things turn to dust eventually. When it finally becomes a problem, 20 years from now, i will deal with it :)Lastly, if i had it to do over again i would have bought a 5 or 6" spatula. This one is ok, but i miss that extra length sometimes. personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide.

It is indeed a tight squeeze. I found the longest screwdriver I could and angled the TV up as much as possible. Even then I had to use the tips of my fingers to turn the screwdriver.

At the time I bought the jack hammer it was offered with the shovel attachment as well as without. Since the price of the kit with the shovel was the same as without, I bought the one that included it. It does fit. I have had one problem with the hammer which I have had to repair twice, and probably will again. The wiring in the trigger switch vibrates loose from the connector. I soldered in it place rather than crimping it the second time it vibrated loose. This lasted longer, but the connection has been lost again and I haven't had a chance to disassemble it to see what shook loose this time. I expect it will be a similar situation when I do get a chance to look at it. At the time I bought the jack hammer it was offered with the shovel attachment as well as without.

It depends on the case; with mine, it didn't quite fit in the opening, I had to cut the opening a little bigger (about 1mm on each end) with a Dremel.

I returned the adapter so I do not have it on hand to measure. However, the amount it was "off" was less than 1/8 inch - so close it was very frustrating. I bought an adapter from U Haul and it was drilled with room to spare.

yes , I changed it our five time the problem is the threads in the clamp need be chased with a 5/15 24 die nut. or buy the whole clamp.

Sockets are smaller, letting you get into tighter areas. No difference in tool size.
