The cheap Harbor Freight leveler's handle is welded to the gear shaft. The revolving handle they provide is made out of some sort of plastic and it simply wasn't up to the task once the leveler was past the center point. I suppose I could always weld a tall nut to the thing and use an impact wrench on it. Hopefully I'll never need it again.

Got it. My harbor freight leveler , maybe 15 years old, just had a bolted on handle that was easily removed. Another example that new and improved does not mean better.
Congratulations on one of the major milestones of your build.
