I bought that adapter for my Dremel tool. Jonny overtorque installed a starter on my old E38 and the torx head on the upper bolt sheared off. I left it alone until my beautiful wife drove through some deep water and killed the starter. It took several days of grinding until my arm was ready to fall off. Then I finally was able to remove the starter. It was like removing a fracture bolt on the ignition lock but no room to work. Still leave that nut alone unless absolutely necessary.

I didn't use it to grind. I used it with the high speed cutoff discs.
