Default Source for tool steel

You can go to an industrial metal supply house and buy a short length of
schedule 80 pipe. Schedule 80 pipe is typically used for steam lines.
The pipe can be cut to whatever length handle you want.

There are pipe sizes available to hold 3/16", 1/4" and other standard tool
bit sizes.
