Non-Rotating Bucket Handle

thingiverse

This handle does not rotate around the wire bail of a Leaktite Corporation bucket ( as sold by Home Depot, True Value and Ace Hardware among others). Due to a deformation in the bail, it was possible to create a channel in the handle that prevents it from rotating. This needs to be printed in two parts and assembly requires channel lock pliers or a vise. I suggest using some wood strips to prevent denting the handle. It's a pretty snug fit and needs considerable force to mate the two halves. Next project to complete the anti-tilt bucket idea will be to lock the bail to the rim of the bucket.
