I have a pressure sprayer (backpack)
There should be a push on polyurethane (or rubber) handle on the end of the metal arm ...... but it has been lost. The bar is 16.4mm diameter ( probably imperial 11/16" tube) Tried looking on line, cant find any push on handle to suit .... anybody any suggestions where I can get one (or what to make one of) Obviously I could take a piece of wood dowel and drill it ... but rubber/plastic grip would be better. Handle shown here in vertical position ... https://tinyurl.com/y8ozc5cs I have tried several retailers - none stock spare handles |

One or two layers of bubble wrap (for flexibility) bound around with PVC electrical tape. |

Bit of hosepipe and duct tape would do the job I reckon. Tim Hosepipe is to large a diam, 22MM Hep20 also too large .... been looking all over my garage for something to fit |

A few layers of shrink wrap. Did think of that .. have stuff too large and too small - typical. |

I would have thought that a bit of the thin walled (cheap) stuff heated in hot water and lubricated would have slipped over a 16.5mm handle. Tim -- |
