In accordance with the present invention there is provided a drive tool assembly that includes a shaft having a drive end portion and a driven end portion with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The shaft driven end portion is flexible relative to the shaft drive end portion to permit displacement of the shaft driven end portion in an arcuate path relative to the shaft drive end portion. A torque transmitting mechanism is drivingly connected to the shaft driven end portion. Means is provided for supporting the torque transmitting mechanism on the shaft driven end portion for transmission of torque from the shaft drive end portion through the shaft driven end portion to the torque transmitting mechanism as the shaft driven end portion is displaced from the shaft drive end portion in an arcuate path along the longitudinal axis.
