Where do you all store the detachable handle in this thing? Every position I've found is awkward and prone to breaking it seems.

We store the handle in the front mesh pocket on the bag most of the time. Other times we leave it loose on the compartment shelf in the RV. Also a bunge cord to attach to the top hand strap on the bag.

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

In inspecting my own, there doesn't look to be a way to detach the handle. There are rivets connecting it to the peel surface, and the wooden extension seems to be glued to the metal handle.

No, if you pull the handle to the out position, it should lock in place until you push the button to release it! If this is happening, I would send it back for a replacement.

I have never had the handle accidentally detach while grating. The grater has a locking ring that keeps the grating cylinder in place. GREAT piece of equipment. I give them a gifts !

There is a crevice tool that stores in the handle and a flat surface attachment that stores on one end. Solid and well designed. I recommend it.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

There are 2 screws that hold it on. One at the bottom and one at the top. One of the screws requires that you remove the inner "trim ring" which just snaps out. Be careful to not over tighten as this handle is plastic and you could damage it.

You can place the back on different sides whichever you need. This allows the handle to change based on what your needs are. The arm cannot be removed but doesn't need to be.

I guess the question is "the back OR the side"? It comes out of the side (right-lower side of the handle).

I just unscrewed the handle fixtures so I could put that on. The velcro strap is extremely annoying and falls out when I take it off. If I could reverse the velcro side I think I could get it to stay in.

Handle will stick out when you fold -- it basically folds part-way forward so that you can get it underneath furniture, etc., without having to drop the handle to the floor......which does come in handy.....I like mine -- it is nice for quick clean-ups and can be used on the carpet or on linoleum or wood floors.

Mine is detachable and adjustable (bought it about 4-5 months ago), also has handles for carrying.

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

You don't have to move anything. Put the blade in the slot so that the hook is over the clasp, it will be at an angle to the handle. Then holding the back of the blade give the handle a sharp whack on the floor or whatever and it will lock into place. Same goes for taking the blade off only in reverse
