Manufacturing process.
First of all, the author begins with the manufacture of a screwdriver handle housing. To do this, he cuts a workpiece 170 mm long from a half-inch pipe.

Next, stepping back from the pipe edge by 20 mm, you need to drill a through hole with a diameter of 10 mm.

Now in the holes you need to recess two balls from the bearing. The ball is tight enough to go into the holes, they can be knocked out a little with a hammer.

The drill comes into this design quite easily.

Now you need to make the ball retainer from a 3/4 inch steel pipe. The length of the workpiece is about 20 mm.

In order for the ring to fall into place, it must be cut along the seam.

Fixes the workpiece on a workbench and makes a longitudinal cut.

The author deletes the remaining burrs with a round file.

Having drilled two symmetric holes with a diameter of 6 mm to fix the balls, he puts the ring in its place. I have to help a little with a hammer.

So, the ring is pressed, the drill goes freely, you can continue.

At the end of the drill, you now need to cut a square.

Here is an adapter turned out.

Now you can insert the spring inside the case, and press it with the M16 bolt.

After that, you need to weld the bolt head to the end of the housing.

The device is ready, it remains to clean the seams and paint with spray paint.

After the paint dries, you can test the impact screwdriver on such a rusty bolt.

Having put on a six-sided adapter, and having struck a screwdriver the bolt turns almost after the first blow.

You can also check on another rusty client.

Here is a shock driver turned out by the author.You can install various nozzles on it.
