Been a while, but I think the (Steel) socket has a (Steel) rivit on the (AL?) shaft, and that rivit shears off. (And it takes some real abuse to get to that point!) Cut, redrill hole in shaft and replace rivit with rolled steel pin, or higher strength screw at the hex socket, cut tube to new length, back to work.

Think they still make em that way, and we might be on the same page? Haven't used one in a while, maybe I should get me one...
