If you have a portable air tank it likely has a manifold similar to the one pictured here with a red plastic valve handle. There is no need to buy a whole new manifold when the red plastic valve handle/wheel breaks.
Cut a strip of leather about 1/4 inch wide and long enough to wrap around the valve stem. Cut a ring of nominal 1/2 inch diameter EMT (electrical metal tube - a type of electrical conduit) about 1/4 inch wide and debur it. Turn the valve to the off position. Now hold the leather in place with one side of the EMT ring and crimp the other end hard with a pair of adjustable long-handled pliers.

Re: how to fix broken plastic valve handle on portable air t
Pretty sharp idea, I have replaced a couple because of that over the years. Never was sharp enough to come up with your idea though.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
