A solid, monolithic shaft member has an engagement end. The engagement end has a proximal end a distal end. The proximal end has a first cross-sectional geometry, and the distal end has a second cross-sectional geometry. The first cross-sectional geometry of the proximal end is different from the second cross-sectional geometry of the distal end. The cross-sectional geometry of the distal end transitions to the a cross-sectional geometry of the proximal end along a longitudinal axis of the engagement end of the solid, monolithic shaft member. This transition provides a gradual, blending, continuously transitioning cross-sectional geometry along the entire length of the longitudinal axis of the engagement end of the solid, monolithic shaft member.
