The Large Handle with Brake Disc is a Large Handle with a car brake disc bolted to the end. It is a two-handed improvised blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. The heavy disc brings its weight up to 4.
The disc gives the handle real hitting power. Its hits land much harder than the plain handle, and a crit deals four times the damage. The trade is fast wear. It is made with the Make Brake Disc Weapon recipe at Carpentry 5.
Combat
The Large Handle with Brake Disc swings at base speed and reaches 1.25 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.8 and 1.7 damage. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit deals four times the damage.
The weapon is two-handed, and the extra weight raises the endurance cost of each swing. Short fights against a few zombies suit it best. The Long Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels.
Against the plain Large Handle, it nearly doubles the damage. Among the upgraded handles, it hits the hardest. It is a good choice when a car can be stripped for parts.

Repair
The Large Handle with Brake Disc has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point off, so it wears out very fast. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, and wood glue needs Carpentry 2. Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Locations
The Large Handle with Brake Disc is a very rare find. It spawns only in late game survivor safehouses, in boxes, counters, crates and shelves. Crafting one is far more reliable.

Notes
- The recipe needs a wrench and a metal drill, Nuts and Bolts, a brake and two Leather Strips.
- The same recipe works on a Large Branch or a Plank to make the Cudgel or Plank with Brake Disc.
- Carry plenty of tape or glue, since the disc loosens quickly.
