That's still no reason for there to be a gap, all the way down the shaft to the handle. That's just a potential weakness
Do you actually use tools professionally or just collect them, btw?
If the latter, then yeah that's pretty cool!
The pivot point is part of the head itself so I think you need the gap to connect the head to the handle in the first place. Or no gap and hold the head in with 2 screws. Most professional brands (Snap-On, Mac, Matco) use the same gap design though. Not a professional myself, just adding to my collection lol.
