The gearbox outputs to a shaft that is not only right-hand threaded on the outside, but left-hand threaded on the inside. Did you remove the locking screw from the left-hand threads?

Also, Craftsman hand tools tend to have a lifetime warranty. Check into it—you usually won't need a receipt, as long as the name "Craftsman" is visible.
