M1082 Trailer Jack Handle

[flyfishtrailer]

So, I finally brought my trailer home to get all the PM's done and fix what's broken or missing. When I bought it in July it was missing the sway bar bushings (fixed that today) and missing the emergency side air hose (replaced them both today as well). The one big pain in my OCD mind was that the jack handle is missing for the tongue jack. A long screwdriver did the trick, but I would like to get an actual handle for this jack. A quick internet search revealed a big nothing, but some posts that said a common handle will fit. Well, I started looking, but there are sooooooo many of them. Has anyone found a civilian handle that works with the setup on the M1082 jack? If so, please share make/model please. I would like to order one once and be done. Thanks, and if anyone has a spare, I wouldn't mind that either.

Thanks in advance

I just made a socket that fit and a long handle ratchet for my 1082 and 1095 i welded a tube on the end of a socket long enough to clear the frame so you can turn it much easier .

Depending on how hard it is to turn the jack, a speed handle on your adapter might work great. That's what I use on smaller trailer's at least.
As long as the jack doesn't require a lot of torque.

A battery powered 1/2 in impact works wonders

The gears are good, I actually can turn it with a screwdriver stuck into the hole and spun with just a little effort. Obviously, a handle makes it really easy. I am working on bending a new one (as soon as these "atmospheric rivers" would quit pounding us and actually give us a few days to dry out).
