Shaft spinner - good or bad?

Ok here you go. This shaft has a bit of a warp to it which is not a problem because the hand holding the drill compensates for it sort of like a gyroscope. Cleaned, waxed and burnished. Use your favorite medium for this. I just use a paper towel. I finish sand my new shafts pretty much exactly like this. Easy to keep them consistently sanded as you're taking that last bit off with a little practice. I guess I could use one of my lathes but I like this because I can step outside with it and it's dust mess.

You can see why I like the 18 volt battery pack when I set the drill down with the shaft in it. Can't do that with the new smaller batteries without it tipping over.

Hope this helps https://youtu.be/MZO42dTAB80

This thread is starting to disappoint me. Didn't mean to kill it.

I expected blowback on how silly my drilly is.:frown:

"You can buy a nice shaft driver that will fit in your thread pitch and a drill for about 20 bucks."

where can you get the shaft driver? i have a 3/8x10 joint pin, a couple of searches aren't turning up anything pre-made like this.
