Are the two loop handles any advantage over the one long handle? Any regrets in not having a long handle? Thoughts? Thanks! :)

It's a matter of preference. I prefer the two handles. Also, I use the cast iron wok more than the carbon steel wok...both bought on amazon. Seller was the wok shop. Remember to season them with peanut oil, inside and out, using your oven!

It is very much an advantage especially when moving it with a sizeable creation cooking. It is much easier and safer to use two hands rather than one. No regrets at all. It is exactly what we were looking for.

If you are replacing one wedge the other wedge might be smaller due to its wear and the handle height uneven. I am not sure how much of a difference this would make however. If the other wedge is still good, then just get one

I don't think so but I never tried and really think that would be to your disadvantage. The long handle allows you to do less work yourself and let's the Garden Weasel do the work for you. You hold the handle and with just the back & forth motion the weeds come out with the tines as they rotate. If you shorten the handle, I'm thinking you would push down on it with the other hand and make it way harder than it has to be. Let the tool do the work for you. Plus it like a powder coated surface on the handle & protects it. Trust me I've left mine out a couple times, Hope this helps Jason:)

My handle has 2 screws. I do believe this one does as well. I lost one of my screws and my Ace Hardware had to do some drilling to make it work. I also replaced my long handles and those are great. Don't let the flames go up the side of your pot as mine has melted a bit, still works perfectly. It is for one handle, not the set.

It all depends, I only needed one handle and it did not last very long. I wound up buying another from Toyota that was much more expensive.

The handle is the same for both sides, to my memory. You get one handle, not two. Note: To to Youtube to learn how to install this handle. It wasn't too bad a job. - Ken W in Portland OR

The handle is 5-6" long. We don't find a need to use both hands. The curved knife comes Very sharp and I occasionally touch up the edge with a sharpener. We eat more salad because od the effectiveness of this knife.

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

Hi 1217topher, The main difference between the two is the color, and how the handle is designed. Function-wise, they'll be the same.

Hello! Amazonhappy....The Swiss do an excellent job in designing for utility. Unless you have extremely large hands (basketball player?), you will probably find these pruners comfortable for even an extended session of pruning in your garden. I have just compared the handles on my Felco F-6 Classic pruners and my Felco F-2 Classic Pruners...and the handles are the same. The only difference is in the weight of the pruner itself. The F-6 is for lighter pruning, roses, vines, shaping shrubs whereas the F-2 is for larger canes and branches before getting to required "lopper" dimensions. Since I respect my pruners...if I get to a cane or branch too large, I use the F-2 pruner and when I get to the "lopper" sized branch...I stop and get one of my loppers...and I've benefited from that habit, as my pruners continue to serve me well after all these years. [There's an old Chinese Proverb: IF YOU WOULD BE HAPPY ALL YOUR LIFE, PLANT A GARDEN."] Happy Gardening!! "P.S. I love you "name"...I too, am very happy with the retailing miracle of Amazon!!!

Both handles are similar in blade angle, weight, and handle length. Really, the only difference I see is purly aesthetics.

The full width arms makes it easier to pull from either side, the pressure is much better distributed across ones fingers and doesn't feel like its cutting. The longer right arm has a bit more leverage, needed because of the forward assist. It has short lever motion so it's quicker and more solid feeling. It has not pinched me (yet). Yes, to me it's worth the cost.

The one I ordered has the long handle which is great for reaching the middle of your back. I'm pretty sure they also offer one without the handle for people who want a more travel friendly option.

It has a regular loop handle, I love it. I have an german shepherd and Australian Shepherd, and it does the job.

The handle is simply the rope looped around at the end, so you can adjust the handle to be whatever size you prefer by slipping the rope through the black sleeve at the end of the rope. If you do not want to have a handle, the size of the loop won't matter and if you do want to have a handle, you adjust the loop to your preference. I hope that helps. The ropes are very durable and a good weight.

Not by only holding one end of the strap no, but you shouldn't be doing that with a restriction loop either. Weave the two handles through each other so one handle takes all the body weight and pulls the knot/weave tight at the same time.

No, while the handles are not solid loops, the tang that goes I to the pot is too long to pull out without bending them too much or bending the titanium sleeve. This is especially true for the top. Although each may be different from what I see from other answers. This is my second one and neither have been able to.
