I have pulled several at PNP, all have been good. price good too, $1.99.
so far, no vacuum leaks since I last posted.
ARMY asked in post #17 about using heat shrink tubing. I don`t believe it will work, too stiff.
that Plastic Dip for tool handles might work.
Best thing, is to just replace it with a new one. the old one`s made it for 15 to 20 yrs or so. or just Micky Mouse it together and hope for the best.
