Hoss 1,260 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Anybody figured out a way to repair the plastic hinge on a rugged gear cart handle? I’ve tried JB Weld, no luck. Edited February 7 by Hoss Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twelve mile REB 583 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 When Brisco Joe was their man I had really good luck with repairs because Joe would go the extra mile for ya. After they discontinued Joe's services things have not been quite as good for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss 1,260 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 (edited) I know I can buy a replacement hinge joint. I’m going to experiment with some sort of plastic bonding glue or epoxy resin. I was just curious off anybody had found something that worked. The hinge is a definite weak point. I’ve learned not to lean on the handle, but others will lean on it.
