Anyone know offhand Lyman press handle thread size?

Anyone know offhand Lyman press handle thread size? I'm sure I could figure it out, but I'm feeling lazy...

I want to cobb up a longer handle for my Orange Crusher for when I punch out copper disks with PatMarlins Checkmaker. I think longer will give me more leverage and less of a snap when the disk cuts.

So does anyone have this information quick?

Better get one of these:

They're handy to have around.

Patrick,
Don't know about any others but my Lyman Comet is threaded 5/8 18.

If the knob unscrews easy why not just slip a piece of pipe of the proper lenght ove the handle and have at it.

Mine is an orange crusher...not the crusher 2. It's 5/8-18 as near as I can tell without a pitch gage.
