This is my third ratcheting screwdriver purchase so far, a
Craftsman Evolv ratcheting T-handle.

The online description says "Quick shaft exchange". The package
says "1/4 inch drive adapter". The blade is very slightly loose in
the socket, it is obviously not part of the socket. But trying to
pull the thing out of the socket isn't working. The t-handle pulled
off, though. Question is, is the shaft/blade removable or not?

Thanks.

Well at least you are not pitting Lamborghini's and Ferrari's against
each other. Being unhappy with one of those purchases would be harder
to swallow than a thumb ratchet.

No, he's pitting jury-rigged powered roller skates against street

I wish money grew on trees here like they do wherever "Leon"
lives. These are cheap, but my resources don't allow me to buy
every related product on the market, that's why I ask about them.

If you were uninterested, you would just ignore the post. If
you're desperate for attention, you could jump back into the

As any experienced Internet user should know... Using a real
sounding name doesn't mean squat in a public forum on the
Internet. It doesn't mean the name belongs to the user. And even
if the name does, there's no way to know whether the same person
is using a dozen other aliases. And many people who use real
sounding names are salesman. In other words... Stop beating your
chest about using a real sounding name, you'll never be a tough
guy on the Internet.

Except that my name is real. His name is real. Many of us in here use

And if you had a real and legitimate interest, you would post to the
appropriate newsgroups and accept the answers you received. Rather - you
are a troll. A simple google search would have anwered your quesiton in
less than five minutes. It's clear you consider yourself above that and

Trolls will troll whatever you do, but... This is a good reason
for not answering a regular when he asks "What are you doing?" or
"What is this for?" If you answer, you set yourself up for a reply

This is my third ratcheting screwdriver purchase so far, a
Craftsman Evolv ratcheting T-handle.

The online description says "Quick shaft exchange". The package
says "1/4 inch drive adapter". The blade is very slightly loose
in the socket, it is obviously not part of the socket. But
trying to pull the thing out of the socket isn't working. The
t-handle pulled off, though. Question is, is the shaft/blade
removable or not?

Thanks.


You might get more replies if you address this in other than a
woodworking group.

Judging by research on the Internet, I might get more replies by
addressing this to Mars.



Well at least you are not pitting Lamborghini's and Ferrari's
against each other. Being unhappy with one of those purchases would
be harder to swallow than a thumb ratchet.

No, he's pitting jury-rigged powered roller skates against street
traffic. Would you bet your life on the reliability of a drive train
that depended on a Chinese palm ratchet?.

"[F]ar from being the Great Satan, I would say that we
are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women
from the armed forces of the United States to other parts
of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression.
We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism.
We saved Europe in World War I and World War II.
We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to
Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of
preserving the rights of people.

And when all those conflicts were over, what did we
do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we
defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan,
so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do?
We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which
they have embraced totally to their soul.
And did we ask for any land? No.

The only land we ever asked for was
enough land to bury our dead."

jumping into your thread harping on how he doesn't like what
you're doing...


You probably just should not dabble in the internet - your delicate
feelings are just going to get hurt over and over and over again.

That's been his history. He repeatedly asks about some cheap way to
cut corners, ignores or disputes the helpful responses, then throws a
hissy over any hint of criticism and leaves for a while.

I don't care what he does to himself as long as the lawyers can't
trace the failure back to me. I posted to warn others that their
innocent advice seemingly about hand tools could have unexpectedly
adverse consequences.

You might get more replies if you address this in other than a
woodworking group.

He *did*. Look at the "Newsgroups: " header. (Copied here form
above in case you can't view the headers in your newsreader.

Newsgroups: rec.crafts.metalworking,rec.woodworking

So -- *two* newsgroups -- either of which is likely to have some
people who use the ratcheting driver in question. (*I* don't have one --
haven't bought anything from Sears/Craftsman for decade. :-)

Enjoy,
