There is more involved in that jack handle than just "twisting a piece of metal." There is a slot near one end. The other end is tapered and has a concave tip to use as a tire iron. I expect that the original ones were made of a stronger grade of steel than the reproduction ones.
I bid for the handle. Still half the dealer price for one.
