I plan to secure a faucet handle with a roll pin. I have not yet looked at what's available, but I will need a pretty small diameter pin for the job. What diameter pin would you recommend and what size drill bit would be used?

The original screw which once held the handle on is broken off. I would think a roll pin going through the shaft and handle would work real well. The spline in the shaft and handle are just fine.

Thank you,
Glenn F.

Unless the stem is very old and unobtainable, they are usually pretty cheap. Mary found an old (~1920) sink that she had to have in the bathroom. When the previous owner removed the sink and threw it out in the yard, they bent one of the stems. Park Plumbing Supply had one instock, $12.

I bought some roll pins a while back and I believe that the pin size is the drill size. Example: A 1/4" pin will require a 1/4" hole, but the pin is bigger for tight fit.

Save yourself a lot of aggravation... clean it up, and slather it with epoxy, and let it cure overnight.
