toughbox gear/shaft slippage

Has anyone noticed that the drive shaft gear is a loose fit on the drive shaft? That is a bad thing, correct? I guess it will wear over time but it should be a pretty tight fit to begin with, right?. We took a toughbox apart (we have been abusing for a few days testing software) and it was a noticeably loose. But when we went to replace it with a new piece, they are loose also (tried 3 separate gears and shafts). It seems to be designed that way!

Please help a poor EE trying to diagnose a mechanical problem.

TIA
