Appropriate sized hardwood dowel, appropriate sized copper tubing (to make the ferrule), hack-saw (to cut the ferrule to length) and an appropriate sized drill bit.

There used to be a product called Fireplace cement, that would hold up great on cracked or loose handles. In a worst case, or a best one , Red River Rick makes new handles to fit SC Lyman molds.

I glued mine back together with JB weld. Put lots of JB on the pieces, taped them to the handles and let it sit up. Take off the tape and sand them down. Have a couple of handle sets that I have been using that way for years. They will never come off.

Fsreloading, you can buy replacement handles, I think they want 6 bucks each though, mine split and I just epoxied them to the handles and wrapped with duct tape.

Always carry, never tell.

I used Gorilla glue, worked well so far.

Another one here who has used J-B weld to keep handles in play that have cracked.
It has been 2 years and no problems so far.
