Darn why didn't I think of that:o Hope I don't get kicked out of Red Greens Duct Tape Forever club;)dusty wrote: I simply reinstalled the broken coupler and wrapped the end with a piece of duct tape. Got two or three good wraps. Been that way for at least a year.

You could also turn a nice ring from... Danged if I can pull up the name of it right now... 
That high quality plywood that is made of many thin layers... and make the hole a snug press fit over the end of the sleeve.
Then you could say "what repair?" That is a design improvement...
Then again I would probably just use a number of wraps of electrical tape, stretching each layer as I wound it on but not stretching the last two layers.
I am also hoarding a few couplers (among other things).
