Just made this little 1/4 drive flex head handle. Snapon never made a 1/4 stubby flex so I decided the wait was over and I would. Think it would be classed TKF72 let me know what you all think

By the way this handle started life out as a bolt! Just thought I’d post this because most wouldn’t believe haha

I made one out of a tf72. I cut it right at the first groove on the handle, then polished till the cut marks were gone.

Nice one, I decided to make a complete handle though as I liked the thought of a pear drop handle on the end rather than cutting one down. Also I fancied loosing a few hours of my day and giving my brain a challenge, no engineering back ground but I teach myself as I go on my millers and lathes so it was a good lesson for myself

Nice work. Looking at the beginning, the bolt, the end result is very impressive.
