Thingymyjig - Help please

[TeeDee]

Looking for whatever this is called - I've located the type of thing it is from Amazon as its basically what is used for connecting Pool / Snooker cues together - a Male and Female connector.




I am however looking for a larger version of the same - to allow connection of two parts of wood via a screwed/glued in Male.

As what I have it planned for is somewhat chunkier than a pool cue it an be larger and it could even come with Two male ends and one female connector?

The thing I'm trying to join is standard tool handle width.


Ideas/Links for what this is called from the Tinkerers please. Thank you.

So M10 or M12 size?
You can get threaded bar and internal threaded bar or a few nuts welded together.
Is it a permanent join or intended to be packed down?

Inset threaded sleeve at the end of one of the parts, with an inset bolt into the other part?

If it’s a permanent joint, maybe a double ended screw?

Do you know an electrician? You might get something from an 18mm galvanised connector (double female) and some threaded conduit. You’d need the thread cutter if you wanted double male.

These connectors have held the tipi up for 16 years.

Note: this is not an M18 thread. It is specific to conduit.

It needs to be a temporary connection. I'm essentially intending to take a shorter handle , lop the top off to give a possible change in leverage. So the screw in , screw out insert with female would be best I feel if I can find a large diameter and longer length.

If you're putting a fair amount of force and pressure through the handle you might be better off getting 2 separate handles and making it so the head of the tool is interchangeable?

Yes , have thought about that. The longer handle won't actually be taking more force or pressure than the shorter handle ironically.

Old drain/chimney rods are a good bet, farm sales, junk shops etc.; I have a stick with various attachments using these and it has lasted many years of fairly hard use.

If you are going to be levering I would want something more able to resist the forces involved. Can you use a length of tube on the outside which would be stronger.
Or make the extension part a metal tube that slides over the first part?

Yes , I have thought of that and may need to resort to it.
