chain file handles

i realize theres not much you can do on this subject but, what kinda handles do you use? is there a better way?

 

my attempts.

 

I have a small section of apple tree branch with a curve that fits my hand just right....drill a little undersized hole in it and tap in a file. With a smooth bark tree you can usually just peel the bark off with a little help from a utility knife.

 

Nice idea on the golf ball.

How about a decent sized cork from a wine bottle? I'm more inclined to have that on hand than golf balls.

 

I was in a pinch and used an old corn cob I found in the yard. Worked surprisingly well. But I do like the husqvarna one most.

 

i pick up golf balls when i can, i have a small cannon/morter thats sized for them.

 

I have two cannons that I use to lauch golf balls. They're attached to my left and right shoulders.

 

I too like the golf ball idea

 

I get 'em for 3 for a buck at an Amish store in Mio when we go down there.

 

amish and golf balls? I cant picture a horse and buggy with a bag of clubs in back

 

Wait, not Amish golf ball handles.
The wooden handles. They don't make 'em, they just sell 'em.
I need to check my posts better.

 

I regularly find golf balls in my yard. Every once in a while an extremely errant one will hit my house.

 

I just use file handles

 

sometime ago I was a maintenance mechanic and someone told us that osha required handles on all files. well the boss wouldn't order any so our shop broom got shorter till it was a wisk broom!

 

Store bought with guide is what I use.

 

If it came with a handle I'll use it. If not, a golf ball has a great feel to me. I can generally find them for $3 a dozen sold in egg cartoons at yard sales & flea markets.
