    Janet, I have both a Foredom (Brand) tool and what appeared to be the
    same tool that I purchased from Sears.  I discovered that the Sears
    brand Foredom tool required slightly smaller diameter bits than the
    Foredom brand (they want to sell you their own bits!). 

    What I did was to create a shim, using folded aluminum foil, to wrap
    around the pin, so that I could create enough tension on the pin to
    keep it from slipping after I tightened the collet.  Not perfect,
    but inexpensive and easy to replace. 

Hope this helps.
Mark Fant
