One of those days
Dale Gillaspy
So I turned a bunch of screwdriver kits for all the guys I work with at the fire station. Went out this morning and epoxied in all of the sleeves that hold the screwdriver shaft, no problem. Went out just now to get them to wrap, only to discover that I glued in all of the sleeves backwards. I didn't even realize they were different on the ends. Oh well, I sure hope my local Rockler has some in stock.

Heat is not epoxy's friend, so you might be able to remove the insert by heating it with a hot piece of steel rod the same size as the insert.

Insert the blade into the handle and heat it gently with a torch. Then grab the inside if you can and pull it out. Most glues particularly epoxy and yellow glue will soften with heat. Haven't tried heating CA but I'll be it will also.
