- a handle having a width greater than a width of a knob of the rotary device and rotatable about the second axis;
- a coupler extending from and coaxial with the handle, and adapted to engage the knob of the rotary device, the coupler oriented coaxially with the handle along the second axis;
- wherein the adapter defines a cavity defined about the second axis and extending from an engagement side into the coupler, the coupler including a rim coaxial with the second axis and surrounding at least part of the cavity;
- wherein a periphery of the rim defines at least first and second traction elements generally extending radially relative to the second axis and spaced apart from one another about the rim;
- and
- wherein the first and second traction elements each define a plurality of teeth extending coaxially relative to the second axis.
