I made these for my Kenmore 158.1913 and 158.1941. They fit on the push/pull clutch and make it easy to turn the handwheel. The two parts clamp on the handwheel using two screws, but the grip comes from several small pieces of removable poster adhesive tape. It's like using a silicone potholder to grip the stubborn lid of a pickle jar.

I'm sure there are many other Kenmore models that use this clutch. You're on your own to figure out if it will fit your machine. Edit: Someone reported that this will work on a 158.18034.

I used 5 layers and 35% infill.

I used #6x1 ¼" Sheet metal screws.
