        Lloyd Meyer of Renner USA sells very beautiful and very expensive
custom made ball end tuning levers that have slightly larger diameter
stainless steel shafts.  His # is 203-221-7500. Scott Colwes manufactures a
ball end lever that uses the same size shaft that's on the Wonderwand,
however, the handle extends further down the shaft which, I believe,
contributes somewhat to the rigidity of the lever.  They are very nice and
reasonably priced.  His # is 208-667-3393.
