Thanks for the images. I hadn't realized that the skewer threaded into the body of the tool--it would obviously have been very shaky otherwise, especially with non-splined freewheel removers.
You'd obviously want to check to make sure that the threading on your skewer matched the threading on the tool before expecting it to work on a tour.
For all the confident directions on the package, I'm a little skeptical about easily threading off a freewheel using a screwdriver as a lever. I've often struggled with stubborn freewheels when using a 12-inch adjustable wrench extended with a four-foot piece of 1 1 1/2"steel pipe (back before I had a bench vise).
