They all had flanges or small tabs on the shaft to help keep the plastic stay secured. I guess you could grind those down with a grinder then re-purpose them if you wanted. I might try that one day when I get the SS cleaned, lubricated and aligned. Will have to practice for a while first, as I haven't turned anything in more than 20 years.
Those tabs prevent the shaft from rotating in the handle.

Rgr that, I know why they are there, just was not sure if the screwdriver kit shafts have those tabs or not as it might be somewhat harder to insert the blade into the handle. Guess I might do a search on screwdriver kits just to take a look at how they recommend putting them together.
