Handle for Rotary Drill Shear

I saw these shears for sale on Facebook but I never buy anything on there any more. So I looked for it on E Bay and it was $10 cheaper there and came with a  hand deburring tool and six bits. But it had this hokey plastic framework that clamped around the spinning chuck ( real smart??). Instead of that framework you can put a handle in the threaded hole. So I made a mesquite handle with a 5/16 bolt inside.. I had to re-tap the hole in the shear as it was metric. The handle is finished with clear satin lacquer!

This shear sure works good but I'm going to try it against a fence as it is so fast cutting you can leave the line very quickly!!
