A spigot handle extender, an apparatus for extending a valve handle, includes a rotatable body and engaging means for engaging a valve handle so as to be rotatable conjointly therewith. The engaging means is positioned within the body and is also rotatable conjointly with the body, so that the engaging means rotates an engaged valve handle in response to the rotation of the body. In a preferred embodiment, the body is formed by identical hermaphroditic body halves. The body includes a pair of attached opposing wings, a plurality of slots, and a central bore. The engaging means is an engager which includes abase with an opening, a plurality of bosses projecting from one side, and a plurality of fingers projecting from the opposite side. The bosses on the base fit engagingly into the slots within the body and the fingers on the base fit engagingly between the spokes of the valve handle when the engager and valve handle are enclosed within the body. The central bore through the body aligns with the opening in the base to allow access to any fastener connecting the valve handle to the valve, allowing removal and replacement of the body and an engaged valve handle as a unit. The body can accommodate interchangeable engagers configured to grip various styles of valve handles, particularly residential spigot handles.
