They look a little sad. Need some cleaning.

A dowel is work. And, expensive.
A tree branch implies you intend to keep the file well into several afterlives.

Skrooz-on means: buy three, or get the wrong size; and 'go back', buy more.
Skrooz-on means buy something else to make the effort worthwhile. The three dollar handle becomes $20, or much more.
I just get a roll of masking tape (the oldest) and build up a comfortable blob.
A blob of tape is "son-of-hillbilly".
