    No reason to be changing collet so often usually lasts for quite
    sometime. 

    Check your collet source. Are they selling genuine Faro heat treated
    collets. Foredom sells parts for Faro check No. 10 handpiece. 

    May be the the inner part (where the collet retract into) is worn,
    or the cam on the lever needs to be adjusted. 

    The foot pedal is probably stuck has got nothing to do with the
    collet. If it is electronic you can get the inner part for this and
    replacable easily. First check if the spring in the pedal is
    dislodged.
