You could replace it with a lot of different things. Just looking around my desktop I see a cap on a magic marker that could be pressed into service but a large solid bead would be stronger. If you know anybody with a 3D printer there are a lot of pulls on Thingiverse.

Use this bend [Knot to some landlubbers] and a piece cordage [same size and strength] and as said above a large solid bead , with a hole through it is a given, then a figure 8 knot.
Looks too short as it is now to secure a Thingiverse ,whatever that is or solid bead , even a toggle will do.
Double Fisherman’s Bend
Figure 8 Knot
It works, done it.

Thank you for a good advise. Found a pull on thingiverse and will get it printed for 1.5€

You are actually going to pay for that!

What is wrong for the methods suggested on #3?

Does anyone get it!!!

Having replaced the piddly thread the manufacturers provide, with some fat string

YOU FIND THE VALVE AND WITH THE STRING FALLING AUTOMATICALLY BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS YOU PULL IT!

No knob to disorient the string and the diver is required

Fat string fat string stand up and sing fat string fat string
it's not just a thing you grab the valve and pull the thing!

Make it your thing and just do it for you
do it for your friends they will thank you
you'll never look back you won't have to

FAT STRING!

I like that, when you require it is there , no fumbling around trying to feel for it , more so if you have glove on.
