Epoxy should work.

If it is the area of the handle at the bottom where the black grip meets the plastic. Epoxy should do it. Mine is broke there as well.

Gavin, those guys are great! Love Hardware sales.  I might try that I just thought I'd see if the guys here thought what I had on hand might work.

Jon, it's the lower handle, the carrying handle, I use it to hold the vac and pull it across the stairs.  The hard plastic handle with the one big screw in the middle.  Sorry I wasn't clear.

Buy a new handle. Don't micky mouse your work tools. It looks bad and might be less reliable.

How do you guys do this stuff? I still have an old 1400XP that works great. Nothing broken. Still has original cord too. It was on one of our trucks for a few years before I stole it for the house.

We clean carpets for a living Mike. We dont have the luxery to go fishing because we sold our business years ago. 

Also, I think residential is harder on equipment than commercial. Residential carpet cleaning is like city miles on an engine, where as commercial is easy hwy miles.
