Today I bought a 14 inch long tool with screws in one end and an opening. I pounded the handle off a Torx screwdriver, filled the tangs off and it fit perfectly. I tightened the screws and it worked like a damn. I ended up with a screwdriver about 20 inches long with a widening where the driver blade went in, still worked perfectly.
