This thread gave me the idea to replace the ancient wooden knob on a little
file with a 1" superball which has a really nice feel. Five minute epoxy to
bonded it tight to the file. The hand carved wooden knob wouldn't stay
tight but it was a work of art most likely from a broken screwdriver out of my
great grandfathers machine shop and smithy, and I couldn't throw something
like that away.
Last night I had to buy a new air cutoff tool, and when the Allen key fell out
of the package onto the floor, and bounced under the toolbox, it gave me
the idea to epoxy the wooden knob onto the long end of the allen key - much
easier for these semi-arthritic hands to manipulate and might on a bit of
tradition thru generations to come..
