I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle with the handle upgrade though. When I tried to put it on, the centre axle simply wouldn't fit through the hole in the lid, so I can't screw the lid on.
Any ideas ?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for bringing this one to our attention, I've just spent the morning checking 120 different drivers to see what the problem could be and I have identified one that matches the problem you're having.
So the issue is that the spindle is supposed to be turned down ever so slightly to allow the cap to screw on; I thought originally the cap was out of tolerance but it is the end of the spindle for sure. I actually have one here that looks the same as what you have!
It took a while to find so sorry about the delay, I think its affecting about 1.5% or about 35 pieces in the whole production cycle. Because we didn’t make up all of the bit handles we haven’t caught this one on the QC process, so that was an oversight on my part.
The fix depends on how handy you are and if you want a challenge! Either put that spindle up in a lathe and turn it down by 0.1mm, or run a reamer down the hole of the bit handle cap.
I will of course do this for you, and send you a new bit handle that will work with your Driver.
I do appreciate you guys letting me know about it though, as we will now check anything that has not been sent for this issue too.
Give us a couple of days to get some tools in and I'll get new ones out to you. In the meantime, if you could drop an email to hello@metmocube.com> if you haven't already so we have it on record that would be great.
Thanks,
James
