The drive assembly includes an output rotatable about a first axis. The yoke is pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The anvil extends from the head portion and is configured to engage a socket. The pawl is moveable between a first and a second position to switch the direction of rotation of the anvil. The shaft assembly extends between the output and the yoke and is formed as a multi-piece construction. The shaft assembly includes a shaft extending along the first axis, a first coupler fixed to a first end of the shaft, a second coupler fixed to the second end of the shaft, and a pin extending from the second coupler to the yoke.
