Sorry to hear that. I would contact Amazon. I didn't keep any of Rubbermaids contact info. I've been using mine for months without any issues.

No issues with mine. Either return/exchange at Amazon, or contact Rubbermaid.

My son broke his throwing it in less than 2 weeks (probl less than 100 throws) & I can't find a replacement handle for it.

No the handle on mine just broke - seems to be too fragile. Had it for about 1 year and loved it otherwise, but it needs to be made out of more durable material.

Here is a link to their warranty statement http://www.skhandtool.com/warranty.aspxIf you don't have a local S-K dealer (and I bet most people don't, anymore) you'll likely have to send broken tools in.

My handle also broke. I found a replacement broom handle at home depot that fit the threads in the broom head. it seems they're pretty standard. I brought the broom head to make sure the handle fit!

This is a recent problem. I've had/ used 3 of these in the past year and never had that problem (All 3 are still fine, they just stayed with friends/ family). Just bought a new one a month ago and the handle was impossible to remove - now the bolt is completely stripped and I'm returning for a new one. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

We got into our third summer but now our handle has broken as well. Bad handle design: where the tubing is pinched down to clamp together with the lower handle section. Ample amounts of Gorilla tape will fix it for about one mowing. (it's a super strong kind of duct tape; black so it doesn't show as much--so your neighbors won't think you're a total redneck.) But it wriggles loose and has to be redone each time. On the hunt for replacement handles. Otherwise, love this mower. Shame to have to fart around with the crummy handle.

This happened to me too after only about 7 uses. The handle clamps seized and wouldn't tighten anymore. It was after 46 days so Miles Kimball refused to refund or replace. They didn't deny the problem though. Pretty cheesy. Into the landfill.

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

The Ativa bag I got from Amazon was damaged and the handle would not telescope to pull it. I returned it to Amazon and bought it at Office Depot. You have to buy it at Office Depot for the 3 year warranty to be honored.

No, sorry I hit yes on accident.. thought it was "yes I would answer". Been using mine daily ever since I got it and have had no issues with the handle what so ever. In fact mine is still rather stiff and does not fall down.

I don't know for sure, but I'll bet if you called, emailed, or wrote to the manufacturer they would be more than happy to send you another handle; and maybe not even charge you for anything but shipping. It's unfortunate that the handle got bent. I really like mine. Use it mainly for walnuts and pecans and have had no troubles with it.

I cannot remember. I had it for years and years and never had any trouble with it. Finally the handle would not stay upright. So I had to retire it. I wonder if the product is made as well as they used to make them according to other comments?

No there is not,we had the same problem,after a bit of discussion Amazon replaced. Depending on who you bought it from,(vendor) decides who replaces the handle. You wont need a plumber, easy fix just a handle issue. Call Kraus first...then Amazon.

RVGRemove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life.I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this.Al

The size is appropriate however, the handle broke off the tool after five or six pieces being cut. Returned to Amazon and went out and bought a good one.
