Your all missing the point, surely

It's an improvement, made stronger and better than the original, will far outlast a standard item, will see the changing of many different handles and heads, such is it's strength, its clearly far superior to that which it's replaced! .....i.e., not a bodge.....
I rest my case....

But if they did that commercially it would be a bodge because it would last too long before they could sell another. The thought of anything in this thread being sellable though scares even meYour all missing the point, surely

Much better to use tec screws. They can be used multiple times, and if they get to blunt to drill their own hole, you can pre drill with a drill bit (resharpened broken one obviously)Any body here mastered the dark art of reuseing used pop rivets.
