can you purchase any other sort of handle to fit this tool or does it have to be a rather expensive Gardena handle?

Only the Gardena handle will work but they do have several tools it will work on!!

The Gardena handle, while more expensive, makes the work with this tool much easier. Peggy

This handle did not work, maybe because of the dimensions, but I had to buy another one.

I am not sure - I know the one we bought was a little large, but my husband was able to retro-fit the handle. I later saw on-line that there was another size that would have fit better.

The handle has the same thread as a paint roller. A pole for a paint roller should work.

Sorry, I used an old handle I had for several years from another broom. You may want to check at a hardware store in your area.

Mine did not come with a steal handle and I am not sure about one being available aftermarket!

Mine just broke as well. I'm still looking for a place to get a replacement handle.

I recommend that you buy a different handle. I never use it, and it's hard to use with both hands

Bill, Guess the question is do you own this tool. If not, I would look at a cheap, but great, metal cutting tool from HF. Plenty of inexpensive metal cutting blades.If you have or need this particular tool and cannot find the blade, call RotoZip customer service. They are nice people. Personally as expressed in my other review, of all the tools I own, this is the most worthless. Fixed depth, vacuum worthless, difficult to guide freehand. Good Luck

Probably any screw in handle will work but as with others the handle was hard to screw in at first so you do get what you pay for with this one.

The threads are standard in the broom head. You can buy a handle at any hardware store or home center.

Home Depot carries a variety of these handles, I'm sure you can find a fit there.

Looks like you can here http://www.amazon.com/Flexrake-7A-36-Inch-AlumiLite-Handle/dp/B000KAWKIA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1390865473&sr=8-6&keywords=flexrake+spade

I doubt that a replacement handle is available since the radio is not a well known brand and it is so inexpensive. Your best bet may be to take it into a radio shack or a Frys to see if they have a similar part or if they know where you might find one.

I think you could find and rig a handle from the hardware but it is set up to connect to an ATV or lawn mower. I have been very pleased with it. I hope this helps

Actually shortening the handle would probably be a good idea, mine came fairly long and would throw better if it was shortened, not to mention be more manageable with shorter length. And using a different wood shouldn't cause a problem either; with heavy use you'll eventually have to get a new handle anyways and its a 'primitive' tool/weapon, so whatever you do it'll likely work out.

WOLF-Garten makes a 14-inch handle also: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HCV9WE/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1
