POS junk Hatch handle reattachment.

[MrCoffee]

My wife has a POS hatch, a generic, no name butt ugly thing, with a prybar at the top of it to remove nails, a poll, and of course the blade. I think it was $4.99 on fleabay.

Anyways, she loves the damn thing. Uses it all the time around the house, etc. Can't convince her to go to something else.

The handle is rubber, and it has detached from the metal shaft, and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on glue/epoxy to hold it in place. Normally I wouldnt put the time in on something like this, but when she is wearing gloves, her grip isnt the most secure, and the thing is sharp enough to put a good sized dent in my head if she lost her grip while swing it. So... ideas on fixing it?

Thanks!

When putting new rubber grips on golf clubs you wrap 2 sided tape around the shaft the length of the grip. Then squirt some gas inside the grip and on the tape, slide the handle on right away. When ths gas evaporates the handle ( grip ) stays on. Good and tight.
Hope this helps...

Great idea! Never thought of something like that, I will give it a shot!

Of course if it doesnt work, I might be able to use that as an excuse to throw this sucker out...
