Country Living Power Bar Extension Handle

works. Its a bar.

Glad I have it. Milling is a lot of work and this helps make it a little easier. The end product is worth it! Delicious! Also any exercise is better than nine!

I was skeptical that this would actually improve the process any significant amount, but I was surprised at how much it did improve it. If youre going to pick up this grain mill and run it by hand this should be considered a mandatory addition.

The bar is solid and does make grinding easier, I have heard claims that it makes the grinding 40% easier; I dont know about that, but I can definitely tell the difference. Like everything with this grain mill, it isnt cheap, but if you invested the money to buy the mill in the first place and dont plan to motorize it or use a bicycle to power it, then I would recommend this extension bar.

Very helpful with grinding grain

Sturdy. Fits well onto grain mill wheel

It works very well and makes grinding grain easier

I needed something like this after milling a few pounds of grain without any extension--thats work! I looked at this after the price of motorizing my Country Living grain mill drove me away--$385. It takes the point of leverage out from 5 to about 9. Carl Bradys review of this $33 Extension Handle said Good concept, just not quite long enough, so I thought, why not make a longer one? I did that. Mine takes the handle out to 13.5 from the axis of the mill, using 3/16 x 3/4 bar stock, a bolt, a nut & a zip tie. Milling wheat berries is now a dream. Yes, the circle is big, but manageable. Its the same amount of work accomplished over a larger radius, but without the perspiration.

Bought a second mill for backup in hard times. Had bar for previous mill and made grinding so much easier got it for second mill.

This makes milling on the Country Living Mill a lot easier by giving you added leverage. After cranking that wheel for 20 minutes you will appreciate the extra leverage trust me.
