Bandsaw-Tension Handle Extension
John White shares a simple solution that extends the handle to an easy-to-reach position above the bandsaw housing.

Using just your fingertips to turn it is bothersome and uncomfortable. In this video, John White, shop manager for Fine Woodworking, shares a simple solution that extends the handle to an easy-to-reach position above the case.
