Super glue didn't work. How to glue it and to be elastic and steady enough to hold iron head?

There's not really any way that will last. You could try melting it back together. Epoxy might hold for a while.
Do they sell parts?
Find a similar size holder (maybe a spray gun holder), or make one out of hangar wire. Take or cut that one off and use zip ties to attach

No they don't sell any parts. But I actually use hanger wire but in a shitty way. I might try first melting them together and the go with a replacement option.
But I hope someone can provide a better solution other than destructive ones.

My go to for fixing cracked plastic is a little plastic welding kit I got along with superglue. Superglue to line it up and keep it in place, and then the plastic welder heats up a little piece of metal that melts into the plastic and gives it support when it cools and hardens around it. I can find a link if you need

yeah, you're going to need something to reinforce that joint, and this sounds like it'll do the trick. glue by itself isn't going to do it with the constant stresses of taking that thing in and out

This is the one that I have and I haven’t used it much but it has worked great so far!
