Also the flexible shaft is not the Shopsmith one and it does not look like the Craftsman one I have. I have two Shopsmith ones and they are shorter and neither the Shopsmith or Craftsman ones have a handle at the end of the shaft. How is the buffing pad the boy is using attached to the Drive Sleeve Assembly?
That will put a shine on your shoe. I guess I will wait for the ice cream to be done.
Neither did it come with an extender

Obviously the PR guys and not the engineers ruled this one.
I also have 2 Magna/SS flex shafts. I agree about the handle. PR guys again. But blow up the picture and look closely at the shaft just in front of the mans fore head. It is two shafts connected together and the ends look exactly like the ones I have.
EDIT: After looking at the picture again it looks like the handle is part of the buffing wheel or some kind of adapter between the end of the shaft and the wheel. The lady is holding on to the end of the shaft. Obviously she would have to hold the handle as well if actually buffing.
