Broken extractor handle

[Barry Digman]

Perfect timing. The handle on my little extractor is broken. Bought it used, I assume it's Dadant but there are no identifying numbers or letters, just the logo. I can't find a link to parts for this thing online. Can anyone help?

Get a piece of mild steel and drill a couple of holes, new handle that won't break....

Looks a lot like the ones Mann Lake sells, maybe they would have parts.

My wife said the same thing. Then she gave me that "What-am-I-thinking" look, knowing that I'll use it as an excuse to get a new drillpress and a bench grinder. I did go get some metal though.

Boy, it does look like the same thing. I'll contact them. In the meantime, I'll try to make something that will work. (Already tried the vice grips, it tears up the plastic too much)

And what's wrong with a new drill press and a new grinder? :)

I think I got it. No new tools though. It's the Ross fix.
