Description

Improve the ergonomics of your shovel, rake, or any other garden/yard tool by adding a 2nd handle. This version is designed for tool handles that are an inch or slightly larger in diameter - up to 30 mm. It is designed for use with ¼" nuts and bolts.

I know it seems wrong, but don't print this in PETG. It stands up better in PLA. Most if not all reports of this breaking have been printed with PETG. ABS or ASA would also be an excellent choice but PETG seems to be a bad choice for this application - maybe it gets too brittle in the cold?

Print with lots of walls and top/bottom layers for strength - my profile has 8 walls and 10 top/bottom layers. Infill really doesn't matter but I used 15% gyroid.

Other sizes coming - add a comment and let me know what size you need.
