Alternative K9 102 Flexible Shaft Connector

The Alternative K9 102 Flexible Shaft Connector is designed for users who retrofit our 1/4″ (6mm) flexible shafts into the Ridgid K9 102 system. It addresses a common issue where the original shaft lacks rigidity and coils under torque, particularly near the sharp bend after the motor connection, a frequent failure point due to heat buildup.

The connector can be securely attached to our flexible shaft using a hydraulic press or hand crimping tool. A pre-crimped option is also available for those seeking a complete ready-to-use solution. This item is for those who want extra adapters for fast replacements on-site.

Keeping spare connectors allows for quick response to shaft damage without significant work delays. Simply trim the damaged section and reattach a new connector.

Also available in our store are alternative connectors for the K9 204 machines.

Please note: These connectors are not original Ridgid parts and are not intended as brand-name replacements. They are made in our workshop for use specifically with our shafts. Due to construction differences, use with original Ridgid shafts is not advised.
