I normally use permanent handles for my tools, but do have a Jimmy Clewes handle. My problem with it is that it is expensive and only allows the tool to go in about 2". So like John, I made my own. I used flare fittings from Lowes. The tool can be locked by hand or you can use a wrench if a tighter grip is needed. A description was published in the Hints section of the June 2015 issue American Woodturner.
