Do you slip your wrist through (or thumb) and hang onto a thin rope. What happened to the handle?

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.

The loop is sizable to whatever size needed. I found it less likely to be pulled out of my grip than a handle.

It has a screw in front that tightens a grip. There is also a wrist strap that can be used, to wrap around it, as a back-up.

Use a piece of string long enough to drop to the ground next to your jiffy, loop the string over a handle. Before you leave pull it to you with the string. If it's on the handlebar you shouldn't forget it. Easiest way I know, has worked for me for 45 years.

The handle is non-slip. It's a plastic material w/striations in it which help your grip. It has a loop for a belt, albeit not very thick built.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

You can move your hand. Depending on how tight you make the grip it may restrict access to some of the minor controls.

no. that's why I got this shovel. didn't want to jam my wrist with a handle. good push shovel. not much for throwing. when im done with the shovel I have to leave it on a rubber mat or it will leave a rust stripe on the concrete floor.

No, your fingers are safe and sound. The natural shape of the handle has a scallop for your fingers to dig into. Also, the downward curving back of the blade is unsharpened.

there is a small tiny slot on the inside handle. use a small flat head screwdriver to push into the slot which will release a catch and while holding it in pull the handle off. sometimes it is very tight but be persistent and the handle will come off. then reverse the handle and push back on.

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

I'd say it depends on your wrapping method when you weave your grip but the handle itself is basically just the tang. Its fairly short (not more than a palm) and it's basically the thickness and width of the blade. You might want to test out your chord as well because the machete's smooth finish might cause your grip to slip unless you have a nice tight knotting. Although potentially gunky, you might also want to consider cutting a base of tennis racket grip foam tape and then wrapping that if you plan on wielding the blade in sweeping continuous movements, rather than controlled single swipes. Mine has just the chord it came with and it feels pretty good. I've also been sharpening the blade considerably to keep a fine edge.

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.

I think you mean does an arm pull out of top and the answer is "no". It has a handle

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

When you psh down on the bar for folding the handle it also releases the handle to slide back in. It is a little stiff at first and you will probably have to wiggle it from side to side while applying downward pressure but it wil work itself out in time so you won't need to wiggle it.

The handle had not done that with me. It has a locking ring that keeps it in place.This is a great machine and I'm glad I bought it.

I seems to be a nylon rope. It did start to wear at the center where it was anchored so we wrapped it with duct tape. I would expect this kind of wear with any rope because of the movement.
