Craftsman Evolv ratcheting T-handle blade is removable?

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

Judging by research on the Internet, I might get more replies by

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?.

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
zillions of off-topic politically charged troll threads to get
that attention fix you seek, at about the same cost.

The irony in this top-poster's crybaby reply is that he puts Leon real
name in quotation marks while posting anonymously.

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
our real names and have met in person. You're just a hypocrite doing
what you're accusing other of doing.

As for being a tough guy... I don't hide behind anonymity on the internet
and never have. I am easily found. I don't say anything to anyone on
the internet I wouldn't say to their face. Ask all the guys in here I've
met in person.

You?

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
you're one of those people who "justify" their abuse of usenet because of
your "special" need. Learn to use google and stay out of newsgroups if you
don't like the responses you see.

That would be fine except you have proven yourself to be the asshole by
posting to a newsgroup where everyone here knows this guy is for real. It
is you who is not. Sorry - you lose.

Guys like you deserve one single response - "Fuck Off". If you can't figure
out a simple answer to a stupid question then you deserve to spend the rest

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.

If you were uninterested, you would just ignore the post. If
you're desperate for attention, you could jump back into the
zillions of off-topic politically charged troll threads to get
that attention fix you seek, at about the same cost.

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
like "You shouldn't be doing that". Or some asshole later on
jumping into your thread harping on how he doesn't like what
you're doing...

And any experienced internet user would 1) post to the appropriate
newsgroups, 2) do a bit of research to find the obvious answers before
posting to a newsgroup, 3) take the time to see who the regulars are and
actually gain a appreciation for who is actually using real names as opposed
to his obvious fake name. Go away troll.

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.

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.

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 like "You shouldn't be doing that".
Or some asshole later jumps into your thread harping on how he
doesn't like what you do...

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

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,

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.
