1/4" Screwdriver Bit Handle With Retaining Bead

thingiverse

I like to reinvent the wheel, and I'm not complaining about the dozens of interchangeable screwdriver handles out there. What sets me apart is incorporating a retaining ball, similar to those used in ratchets and socket drivers. This is only my second model created in FreeCAD, and I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I think this turned out pretty good. Maybe it's just the beginner's luck, but I'm feeling proud of myself. Initially, I printed the handle without ridges because I forgot to include them, so there's a v2 version with ridges for those who want it. You can use this design either with or without the ball - why not try both? **NOTE** Due to a Thingiverse bug or possibly shadowbanning, my models no longer show up in the Newest listings.
