had that happen more than once. Fein recognized the problem and changed

I'm surprised the shaft is not keyed in some way. A couple of
opposing parallel flats on the shaft end with similarly keyed blades
and washer or cupped washer would seem a simple solution.

I'd say a stupid simple solution! But Nooooooooo Idiots designing tools
that never use them.
