Winegard antenna crank
Just bought a new handle to raise the antenna. Worked fine when I put it on, two weeks in storage and the handle cracked like the previous one. Is there a metal handle alternative? I dont mind buying...

I did lube it all up. The original handle had cracks in it but the unit had been sitting for quite some time. I wasn't able to turn the antenna but could raise it if I was careful. Lubed the gears all up and then was able to rotate without issues. Raised the antenna a few times to work the lube in and the handle finally crumbled. So I bought a new one. Raised and rotated ok. Last weekend went to raise it after it sat in storage a couple weeks and the handle cracked apart again. Seems like a metal option would be available.
