Depending on how they attach to the post, they might be no better than the factory ones. Check these out, a little more expensive but a better design and plenty of good reviews.

Hmm, those are a little more beefy than the ones ive found before on ebay. However i have the ebay ones and they are actually pretty good and work great. Here is a link to a set like the ones i got. LINKYes they are plastic instead of metal but so far im happy with them and they havent broke.

These work great. They don't have good instructions but it is simple enough to figure out. I have these on both driver and passenger side from seats. They work really well, took me about 15 minutes to put on.

They work well on the bench seats in s-10s also. A big bigger (longer) than the factory handle but still fit.

Sweet, I am glad I came across this post. My blazer has a power driver's seat, but the passenger need a recline lever. Thank you for the info.

hahaha This is soo funny,

Does everyone's seat handle break.

Because BOTH of mine are broken.

I remember when I got my truck, and the drivers side didnt have a lever
and I went to the passenger side to see if it had one, it did, and just
out of curiosity, I sat in the chair, attempted to move the handle,
and it came of in my hand. I then proceded to kick and punch the glove box
and chuck the handle onto the roof of my house

hahahah. But reading that other people's besides mine have broken off too,
makes it not so bad, quite comical. hahahahahhaha

I think I might get those. Or maybe just one for me, eff the passenger. ahahhaha

Way back when I first got my blazer, I had the driver side handle fall off in my hand the first time I ever used it.

I found a replacement set at Advance Auto, just a regular plastic set. It's been about four years now and the replacement handle is still there.

Those must be the most commonly broke piece on a blazer.
