Cut an approximately six-inch piece of waxed dental floss.

-
Hold one end of the floss against the side of the cap.
-
Wrap the middle of the floss twice around the widest part of the post (below the rubber o-ring).
-
-
-
Pull the two ends of the floss tight to create a secure hold on the post.
-
-
-
-
Arrange the ends of the floss so that they hang down over the edge of the cap on the opposite side that they crossed on the post.
-
Press the ends of the floss against the side of the cap to prevent the post from spinning.
-
-
-
Clean the threaded post and the upper body's screw hole with a lint-free cloth.
-
Apply one to two drops of threadlocker to the threaded post.
-
After screwing the upper body on to the threaded post, wait for the recommended cure time before using the bit driver.
-
-
-
Insert the threaded post into the upper body's screw hole.
-
-
-
Screw the upper body of the bit driver clockwise on to the threaded post until it is finger-tight.

Pull and remove the floss from the bit driver.

Great guide.
Thanks for this information. I was worried about this but now I am Happy.
Well that’s interesting. My blue cap popped off the screw. I had to use superglue… :-\
Ok this is an epic repairability and culture standard that is demonstrated with this article - posting instructions on how to repair your own products! I wish this kind of attitude would spread in all tech industries.
I run a small tech startup myself, and this article just inspired me to do the same for the products we develop
Great this was the only thing talkative annoyed my about this set. Now I can fixit brilliant.. had a few do it in the past ones at my work and ones I use on my youtube channel.. but would not use or recommend any other tools.
