Redneck Repair: Replacing a tapered tool handle permanently.

Fairly simple way to use electrical conduit to permanently replace tool handles that are tapered where they fit into the business end of the tool. This video shows it being done to a "hula hoe", but it works for other tools, like shovels, too.

Really Cool! I can use the cut and hammer trick for other things. Thank you!

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Yeah. EMT is really handy for a lot of things. It's stiffer, stronger, and cheaper, than PVC. It doesn't have the variety of fittings, though.

Great tip. I do have a bone pile of broken parts next to the shed that I kept thinking I would fix. ✅

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

I hate throwing away things that are still useful, but just need a little something. Of course, sometimes "a little something" can be really hard to fix, or costs more than a new one.

Nice tip. Should outlast the work end. 👍

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

I'm addicted to EMT.

[@ArkansasWoodcutter]

Very nice tip. Works like a champ. Never had ocd days 😂

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Good thing, too. OCD doesn't necessarily mean you do everything perfect. Sometimes, it means you don't do ANYTHING because you spend all your time planning to make it perfect, but never do it.

Arkansas Pilgrim yep I was here

[@SouthpawDavey]

Wood cutter sent me over and as it happens I just busted the handle on my rake.. I might just do this. Cheers Dave

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Welcome aboard! The business end of the rake will wear out before the conduit handle does.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

great tip, those handles will last a life time, and then some

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Thank you.

And I am hoping your symbol reflects a love for Star Trek.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

It definitely does. I'm an Original Series Trekkie. I'm also an engineer, so the insignia has a double meaning.

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

It’s not good to smack the hoe. 🤣😜 Lol great video, I have like 4 broken shovels I’m gonna try this on!!

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

I have another shovel that I'm going to do this on. The original plan was to do the video on it, but now I can't find it. BTW, I have a 14-year-old son. The 2 things are not unrelated.

[@ArkansasWoodcutter]

I think I’ve seen this one before...

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Thanks for adding to the view count! ;o)
