After breaking two or three lift handles, I had a machinist make me one out
of solid metal. He took a working handle for the measurments, etc. I've
been using that handle for nearly ten years without a problem. An unrelated
part of my last Jobo lift broke and it was cheaper to buy a new lift than
to repair the old one, so I bought a new one and put the metal lift handle
on the new lift and it works fine, too. I can lift a 20x24 drum or the
Expert drum for 5 8x10's with a liter of chemistry without a problem and
without needing a second hand under the drum.
