Wow I bent and broke off a landing gear handle

I didn't even know that was possible. It isn't like it was beat up and rusted. It was a new trailer and the handle wasn't bent. Some guy dropped the trailer too low and he asked if I could crank it up for him. I used all my strength and bent the handle and it broke off. I looked at where it broke and it the metal was clean. When I become an owner op I will be sure to keep a spare trailer handle with me.

 

It was in low gear. It had a load on it so it was heavy and could barely turn. I've been driving for over five years so I know how to solve a lot of minor problems.

 

You placed a screwdriver through the hole for the landing gear bolt you mean in order to turn it? If I was a really nice guy I could have removed the landing gear handle off my trailer temporarily but I had to go. It was the guys fault for lowering it by accident anyway he was new.

 

He tried and couldn't and asked me since I am pretty muscular from my body building days of creatine and whey protein shakes.
