The thin handle looks a tad "iffy" in the durability department.Does this constitute a reasonably concern?

Not at all. I own three of them. These are FANTASTIC juice jugs (or whatever you want to put in them). I wholeheartedly recommend them. They are a quality product.

Simply put...........not at all unless someone in your household is akin to King Kong.

I have four of these jugs and have not had any problems with the handle. The only "issue" I have had with them is when using them with EXTREMELY pulpy vegetable/fruit juices the airhole in the knob at the top of the spout can get clogged with pulp and create a vaccum, slowing the pour.P.S. If you have TJ Maxx/Marshall's in your area you can sometimes get these jugs there for around $5.

I don't think so. It is as sturdy as any other pitcher I have purchased and the top is much sturdier and controls inadvertent leaks well.

I have two of these, both of which have have taken some abuse, and had no issues with the handle.

It feels sturdy to me. I use it daily but have only owned it a couple of months so I can't say much about durability.

It really is not thin like it looks in the picture. It does not warp or bow when it is at full capacity and your pouring. The handles is molded into the rest of the jug so it is a strong durable one piece unit. I have been using several of these jugs for many YEARS and have never had an issue and no signs of stress on the unit. My jugs are used everyday to hold our milk as it is easier to pour and close off. Love them!

I agree with two other answers, but I can only speak to the one I own. My handle has a dimple on the inside at the top attachment of the handle and has a hollow space slightly at the bottom attachment of the handle. so my answer would be that the handle is solid for the most part and has about maybe 10% of the handle area at the bottom attachment being hollow.

I didn't have any issues with the handle. Mine was the foot petal on the bucket that broke 2 times. Not well made.

It appears to be but it's a completely flat surface and I don't want to try to mess with it to see... I've used it quite often and it's my everyday carry and it still looks brand new so it's a very good investment either way in my opinion

It looks to me like a design deficiency without any real fix. There is a lot of room between the base of the blade and the inside of the handle that can't be tightened up because of internal mechanisms and spacers.

I haven't had problems with handle being slippery, I think it's like a resin composition.

I purchased this for work and my employee uses it, however I seem to think that possible the handle may go down, not up? I could be wrong on that.

Yes the wheel seem pretty stable, but the handle seems kind of wimpy. But I love it

Yes, but the handle may need maintenanceIt just depends on the care of the product

I don't find the handle thin, but they are different in that they are rounded rather than flat handles like most cutlery. Bigger hands! Hmm I can't answer that! I'm happy I bought them. They are unusual and I'm drawn to things that are different.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

The handles are slender but I don't have large hands so I can't really tell you. Haven't had any complaints though and other people have used them as well.

No. If the fibrox handle was too light for you this probably will be as well. Seemed similar in weight.

I haven't used it a lot but i think it is decent. It depends on how much you cranck the handle. I haven't tested it a lot.

My handle was attached so I don't believe that's normal. I would tell Amazon, if I were you. :-)

I wouldn't worry so much about handles as I would about the non stick coating. It fails miserable and warranty doesn't mean much either.

For all sakes and purposes the rubber (kraton) handle will wear off before you have to worry about the length of the tang, but it is the essence of gray areas between the two!
