I'm looking for vendors / suppliers for extending valve handles. I'm looking for extensions that can be offset. I believe I've seen adds with universal joints, and / or flexible shafts.

The only suppliers I've been able to find is Roto Hammer.

Does anyone have some other options / names?
 
Randers,

For globe and gate valves, our maintenance dept. makes handle extensions by bending 1/2"dia. steel rod. A pseudo universal joint is made by looping 2 pieces together then bend one end into a triangle for the handle. For quarter turn valves, we use a tee handle made from 1 1/2"dia. pipe. Depending on your application needs, you could also use a chainwheel. For these, see
