Breaking handle: Where would I get one locally?

I know this is an old thread, but here is the Customer Support number to call: 800-618-7474 (the American Mower Co.) When the lady answered I told her my mower model and how it had a broken handle, and she knew IMMEDIATELY what I was talking about. Gave my mailing information and received a replacement in a few days. Not just the broken part -- they sent all the necessary parts to replace the ENTIRE handle, from the base up to the foam handle. And it's also a new design which looks a lot more durable.

So you broke your handle throwing it eh? Shovels are for digging not throwing, goofus. It looks like most vendors show out of stock, back order, discontinued, etc. But you may find one if you google the Cold Steel part number for replacement handle H92SF. You'll probably end up making one with a 2x4, saw, rasp and sandpaper. Next time, don't throw your shovel.

A correctly sized wrench should do the job, you will have to remove the handle first I believe.

The handle is very fragile. It does not appear to be replaceable from what I can see.

You can just unscrew the handle all the way out and replace it that way or if you can still undo it from the front you can also do that. Its easier if you just unscrew the handle then unscrew the pin with a needle nose plier and screw the new one in.

My son broke his throwing it in less than 2 weeks (probl less than 100 throws) & I can't find a replacement handle for it.

The handle is made from two pieces of tube steel connected together. I think you could remove one screw and pull the handle apart for packaging.

You may be able to get another handle (not an exact match) from your local hardware store.

I do not have a spare to offer, but I believe you should be able to buy it at a local hardware store, or they can special order a couple for you. I wish you luck in finding one.

My handle broke also but I was able to superglue it back on. So far it's holding up. I would contact Rival with your question and/or look for a possible new/used replacement on eBay.

I found a prybar to be the best bet. If you are very patient, you might be able to pry them off without breaking them using a large screwdriver or a small prybar. Both of mine snapped. However, your local hardware store may carry them or you might be able to order them from an online retailer like McMaster Carr. The shaft size is 5/8. Since my shaft ends were already drilled, I was able to use a thick cotter pin and a washer as a substitute for the pushnut.

I have the same problem and I just called Bissell and they are sending me a new handle. We will see.

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.

Ereplacementparts.com has breakdown drawings and parts for sale. Or get part numbers from those drawings or makita site or owners manual and order them from a dealer or tool supply house in your area. They might be more helpful and you will probably break even because you won't be paying shipping costs.

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.
