    You'll need to tell him that quite soon when the glued handle comes off again!
    Last time he did it it stayed in place for about 18 months...

    Or maybe I'll wait til he's out and sort it myself.....

    If it’s holding now, now is the time to get the fixings and do the job.
    use a small pilot drill first, then step up to maybe 3.5mm, whatever the fixings are dia.

    'pends how you tell him... Something along the lines of "Hey sweetie pie... Do you think these would be a better permanent fix ?"...

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
