Old snap on screwdriver shaft replacement

[bmwpower]

Can I just replace the shaft? #2
Anyone know the part number?

Yes, you can replace just the shaft. That is how they do it on the truck, hammer the handle off and hammer it back onto a new shaft.

Sorry I don't know a part number. No Snappy trucks running around your area that could do it for you?

Part# SSDP42IRRB for the replacement shank.

If you don’t have a truck you can call or email them they will send you a new screwdriver. They typically don’t send out replacement tips even though they just replace the tips on the trucks.

Will Emailing them or calling them also work if I have a cross threaded and damaged cap on a ratcheting hard handle screw driver? Thanks

I believe it will. I’m not sure if they have just the cap available. They might just send you a whole new unit too.

Who cross threaded it?

Who cross threaded it?

Good question as I am the only one that uses it. One day I went to remove the cap to change tips and to my surprise I couldn’t turn it by hand to remove it. I ended up using pliers to remove it which left gouges on the cap and noticed that the threads are messed up after removal.

Those handles shrink over time. I had an old one and lost the cap. I ordered a new cap (they are available separately) and it would not screw in, too tight. My truck guy ended up just giving me a complete new one.

Maybe that’s what happened because I know I wouldn’t have forced it on If I felt any resistance while putting it back on.

Thought maybe I could do it myself instead of trying to track down a truck. Around here, it's not easy to find one.

I just put a washer over the shank, put it into a vise and use a prybar to pry the handle up and off.
