Just for fun – turns out I can do CAD now.

It's close:

I made a similar one with a long socket with a brass head pressed into the square end of the socket. The handle had several layers of large bore heat shrink tubing on it. It is for the R8 drawbar of the drill mill.

No CAD was involved, however.

I can't even remember live before CAD.

NB: This is my first model

A suggestion for the next one you make:

It can be very helpful if you can feel where the head is – and this is not possible with the shaft left round. A pair of flats on the handle end will enable you to feel that the head is in line with what you are hitting, without needing to look. Wood handles are nicer anyway in cold weather, and are always made oval for exactly this alignment reason.

Cheers, Tim
