Many thanks Boxtops. Thought about that as a possible answer, however could not understand the logic. Would be great if you could explain.

4d) hacks = hacks(aw)

16a) crack - you rack the balls in pool

The "hacks" clue is a bit naughty because "hack" is only really ever used in the negative as in "I can't hack that". Can't see when "hacks" would ever be used therefore to mean "handles"

bibblebub

Chambers defines hack as:- to cope with or bear
no mention of it only being used in the negative sense

Many thanks to all of you for your help. I agree that hacks is a bit naughty, however I now understand the logic of both.
