The tip of the screwdriver is wedged firmly inside the neck of the screwdriver. The screwdriver has a modular design, with different sized tips that you can use on various screws. When trying to wiggle the two pieces on each other, I can feel some space in there but it feels very small.
The tip is around 3" long, with a phillips type at the end, and the neck of the screwdriver is removeable (together with the tip) and is around 4.5" long. It cannot be rotated around because the two apparently meet together with an octagon shape.
I have tried to put some WD-40 at the point where the two pieces of metal meet, but i can't see well enough to know that it worked. Didn't feel any difference before and after the WD-40.
ANY tips, suggestions, or help would be appreciated. Thanks

Secure the screwdriver in a vice. Clamp a pair of vice grips on the tip and hit the vice grips with a hammer.

I have put a screwdriver in the freezer with the idea that with cold things don't expand then I have had to have someone hold one end and then with needle nose pliers pull the piece out. Also maybe some dish soap?!

Put the tip of the screwdriver in a vise and pull like crazy. I hope this helps.

Spray WD-40 on it again and use a pair of pliers and pull while you wiggle the tip out. If that doesn't work, you might have to throw it away and get a new one. Sorry!

Dude, hold the screwdriver with a pair of vice grips, and the tip with another pair of vice grips and pull really hard!
