Pry bar handle replacement? Snap on

[shockwave]

I have a 36 inch pry bar that the handle broke years ago but cannot find replacement handles for them

Called snap on sent me a new pry bar but still if I find a new handle it would be good to have extra at times

You may have to do a semi custom (screwdriver handle) or possibly contact Mayhew and see if you could use one of theirs.

with the new striking cap, they service the assembly, the older bars they could do the handle but usually didnt

Occasionally, a non-striking cap handle will pop up on ebay; outside of that there are no replacement parts available except for custom.

And probably asked you to destroy the old one.

Is that something you can make as the pry bar handle is a bit bigger than an sdd8 handle

If you work or know someone who works in a truck shop there are track bars that you cut and weld and there is usually a good chunk of round stock left depending on the application, cut the left over to preferred size and drill proper hole size put the bar in and weld... full metal handle that is perfect size around and can also be hit with a hammer.

I have a few ideas to do just that. I will update this thread if I have any success.

Rhinoline that s(tuff). I figure that would be great for a pry bar and I don't know why.

Personally, I'd just give it a hockey stick wrap but it is snap on so you might want it to look better for whatever reason I don't know. You could use a tennis racket grip (or part of it) or a golf club grip, that would also be okay in my mind but I've never tried it (because I'm cheap). Hockey stick wrap costs me like a quarter max. Excellent on a hammer so no reason why it wouldn't be good on a pry bar.
