Hi there, thanks, you should be able to cut it down with a hacksaw easy enough. Hope you worked it out! Thanks Simon

The little black switch on the side of your old fashion screwdriver turns it into a ratchet screwdriver . It's the little things

Does the same apply to a horizontal window (kitchen upper for example)?

@@FatManBuilds Hi there, I am a bit stuck and wondering if you can help me. I took the old handle off the window and am looking at the new handle. The instructions are telling me to put the new spindle in but there is already a very short spindle in the new handle. I am really confused because I can't see how to put the new spindle in if there is something already in there and I can't seem to figure out how to get it out! Help!

@@user-kc5pf5wx4d Hi there, you are halfway there if you have the handle off! So now you can either use the spinble already in the window, or the new one. You can use the old one it will be fine. All you need to do is pull on the spindle in the new handle and it will slide out, wiggle it as you pull. Then the handle will slide over the existing spindle. Then put the screw in. Let me know how you get on.

Thank you so much! I am proud to finally say that I managed to change the handle. The spindle that was in there was hard to pull out but it came out in the end. I have never done anything like this before and I can't believe I actually did this. Your video was very calming and helped so much!!!
