Similar to the Yankee ratcheting screwdriver that takes a side cutout on the inserted end of the bit, who made the screwdriver with a center cutout?

I thought it would be a simple call to corporate customer service for a ratchet repair kit. WRONG Referred by email to the district manager. Called him, he cant help. Referred me to a truck route in my area. Called him, left a light detailed message NO CALL BACK. 24 hrs later. Called again...

Do I have to pick ONE? Pfffft! Different ones for different needs

Try this: Drill a hole 1/16" undersized of the shaft in your (presumably) plastic handle, heat the handle end of the metal driver to way below red hot, but hot enough to deform the plastic. Wait 30 seconds. Put it to use. I have made scads of unique drivers this way.

Oil it up, polish the brass. Place on a shelf and create your own stories. Vials are available (and very size specific), but unless you really, really want to go down that road, just let it be.

Who Fritz? I knew him BITD, and wore him around my neck occasionally, when ties were in style, pants had pleats, cuffs, mens dress shoes didn't have pointy toes and folks wore more than tank tops at work. :)

Start expecting your drill bits to be lasting longer (vs jamming on bits with a hand drill).

Is it a two-piece handle? Are the fasteners metric? Those attributes would help you determine if it was USA produced.

Spock says, check the other side. Perhaps logic prevails.

After suffering through an attempt by a scammer here (who since has been banned), I have closed the deal on one.

+1 on the tire iron.

See red circled item. It's "presumably" removable, as the part is stainless (magnetic) and the body is aluminum, but on either of my examples, it does not screw out for removal using minor force. Per the schematic, it does not show as separate either, nor with a replaceable part number...
