    An easy-to-grip ball knob makes these handles a good replacement for gear levers. Use them to operate machinery. They mount into a threaded hole. Made of steel, all of these handles have a black-oxide or zinc-plated finish for mild rust resistance.

    Metal-Detectable Tapered Lever Handles

    These handles are often used as grips on hand wheels or cranks to operate machinery around food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. They contain metal additives that will set off metal detectors if they—or any piece of them—fall into your line. They’re also bright blue, making them easy to spot. These handles help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    Made of nylon, these handles resist wear and repel oil, grease, and solvents. Install them on a threaded stud.
