Country Living Power Bar Extension Handle

Really does make the task easier.

I needed something like this after milling a few pounds of grain without any extension--thats work! I looked at this after the price of motorizing my Country Living grain mill drove me away--$385. It takes the point of leverage out from 5 to about 9. Carl Bradys review of this $33 Extension Handle said Good concept, just not quite long enough, so I thought, why not make a longer one? I did that. Mine takes the handle out to 13.5 from the axis of the mill, using 3/16 x 3/4 bar stock, a bolt, a nut & a zip tie. Milling wheat berries is now a dream. Yes, the circle is big, but manageable. Its the same amount of work accomplished over a larger radius, but without the perspiration.

Works great to help with the grinding. Especially for corn, which is harder than wheat.

Sturdy. Fits well onto grain mill wheel

Good concept, just not quite long enough.

I was skeptical that this would actually improve the process any significant amount, but I was surprised at how much it did improve it. If youre going to pick up this grain mill and run it by hand this should be considered a mandatory addition.
