Improvised Handle
The handle of my washer broke off, leaving a short section of threaded rod remaining. To give a new handle something to grab on to, I extended the threaded rod with a long coupling nut. Two small jam nuts keep the new handle from turning out of the coupling nut. The new "T" handle is a section of welding rod welded to a bolt. It's ugly, but it works and hasn't failed since I put it in.
