I decided I would prefer to have better handles for my system after a few days of use.
Having access to an Epilog laser cutter with a rotary attachment, I cut two 5" long acrylic rods and put a 1/4" hole in the center. I then passed the string through and knotted it to hold the handle in place.
You can accomplish the same thing without a laser cutter.
All you need is a table vice, a small handsaw and a power drill with a 1/4" drill bit.
I used acrylic because it was laser cutter safe, but if you are not using a laser cutter, feel free to use any 1" diameter tube including, but not limited to PVC, cardboard and polycarbonate.
