I am using an hollow iron rod as the coupler to fix the screwbit adapter to the geared motor.
Necessary cuts and slots have provided in the rod to achieve this function.

Now the required profile needed for your screwdriver is achieved through thermoforming. Bottom covering is glued in using pvc solvent, the excess parts are removed using a scissor and finished using a hand file.
Openings for air flow are also provided in the body using a drilling machine as shown in the picture.
