Summary: 5 Stars
Friends,
I am happy to share my experience using the Xtreme Xtension professional router bit extension.
I am a one-handed router table user. My 2 HP Craftsman router is installed in a Woodpecker V2 lift in my home shop's router table. Changing bits with two wrenches is a challenge with one hand. I have had the opportunity to use a chuck known as the "collet eliminator". The Eliminator quickly tightens a router bit into the chuck using a single hex wrench. This tool worked very well for me with the exception that I prefer to not have the bit shank contact the bottom of the chuck. Tightening the bit off the bottom was time consuming for me. The second problem I experienced with the Eliminator is that it is made for only a few routers (it screws onto the router's motor shaft.) I own four routers, but not a router which the Eliminator is designed to fit.
In contrast, my experience with the Xtreme Xtension professional router bit extension has been totally satisfactory.
This Xtreme Xtension has three very positive design features,
1> The Xtreme Xtension is inserted into a 1/2 inch collet and then it is tightened in the standard manner. This allows a person to use any router that has a 1/2 inch collet.
2> The design includes a rubber O ring which gently holds most bits at any height the user chooses until it is tightened with an Alan wrench. Installing a router bit is easy to do with one hand.
3> The O ring also causes the 1/4 inch adapter to be used more safely. All router users like safety!
4> In addition to the design features, I must mention that the manufacturer provides the best technical support I have experienced. You will talk to the inventor!
I absolutely recommend this product to my friends.
I have had experience with the two major router collet adapters that use hex wrench tightening. This EX 2080 Xtreme Xtension by Router Technologies is absolutely the best.

Description of Router Technologies EX 2080 Xtreme Xtension Professional Router Bit/Collet Extension
The single tool cutter changing eliminates searching for and holding the spindle lock while securing the collet with a wrench. Use the included 1/4" x 1/2" reduction sleeve to safely support your 1/4" shank cutters. NOTE: A 1-3/4" hole is required in the insert or table to allow the body of the extension to pass through for above table cutter changes.Router Accessories & Parts
