Modify Ball Valve Handle

What happens here

Take the ball valve and secure its handle in a vise. Apply force to bend the handle so that it points upwards instead of sideways. This modification makes the handle more accessible when the valve is installed deep in the ground. However, the presenter notes that even with the handle bent upright, operating the valve by hand from a distance is still challenging due to the force required.

Goal: The ball valve's handle is physically bent from its typical horizontal position to an upright position using a vise to improve reachability, though it remains difficult to turn by hand.
