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

Bit of hosepipe and duct tape would do the job I reckon.

Just been using an identical one today. One or two layers of bubble wrap
(for flexibility) bound around with PVC electrical tape.

Get a bit sticky after a while though.

Um, standard hosepipe is nearer 13-15mm internal diameter
(depending on wall thickness).

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.

My yellow reinforced hose is too loose a fit - I tried it.

A few wraps of insulating tape to make it tight enough?

You must have the wide-bore stuff. This is where the duct tape comes in.

A piece of thin walled pipe insulation.

A bicycle handlebar grip with the closed end cut off.
