For my personal turning I like a custom made extra long metal handle to turn hats. You could make a wood handle in no time at all, Ron McKinley was kind enough to provide step by step instructions. (Click on HANDLES) Any aftermarket handle will fit the tools but here are a few I like. Monster Tool (see link page) has a new foam grip steel tube handle that is nice on the 3/8 and 1/2 tools. Dave Peebles (see links page) Dave has a aluminum core vinyl wrapped handle for $35 Trent Bosch ( see link page) sells a aluminum handle that can be filled with shot to any weight needed. Michael Hosaluk has a aluminum and a steel handle to fit your needs.
