A couple of us here at work are wanting to put an open end and wrench and a box end wrench as tap handles on our shop's kegerator. Anyone ever see this style of handle floating around? I've searched but haven't been able to find any tap handles like this. We might have to just make our own handles, but then we're left with trying to adapt the thin wrench onto the valve's post.

Thanks.
 
That may be too heavy. The last thing you want is for a heavy tap handle to tip and your beer just starts flowing on its own.
 
Cut it half weld the fitting, or cast it in some wood then thread into the wood
 
.....Um your in a shop...probably have a welder handy, weld the appropriat sized nut into the open end and install:) maybe angle them back slightly so the weight wants to lean back holding the tap in the closed postion if you think the weight is an issue..DIY allways feels better than buying something. have fun
