This certainly isn't a 'let's all' or wi-bni. At least I hope not. But wouldn't life be much easier if certain objects had built-in handles? You wouldn't have to ashamedly ask for help with those big, slippery boxes. Or oblong objects that just seem to 'fold' under your grip. Bulky, half-filled
water beds are no big deal. Tall book shelves are no longer a problem if you don't have to tip it at an angle to get a grip underneath. Equip the world with more handles. It'd make a big difference for those of us who don't have biceps the size of tree trunks.

Get a ball of stout twine, some of these, and you're ready to go! [DrCurry, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Don't they have straps for suitcases that have an extra handle on them? Look around at your local airport. |

While I believe bulky, half-filled waterbeds will always remain a big deal, there is lots of room for improvement when it comes to product design. I get paid to deal with the consequences of those issues, and I will always support efforts to fight design crime, be it venial or cardinal. |

Ah, so it's WLBEI then. Whole nuther thing. |

Even people with biceps the size of tree trunks have to tilt tall bookshelves at an angle to get a grip underneath. Makes life easier for them too ! ( I wouldn't want anyone feeling left out of the Handle Revolution ). Hurrah! Jolly good ! Enjoymentfullness ! Other long jubilatory words ! |

It's not a let's all, it's a y'all, as in
would y'all please put handles
everywhere we might need them? |
|

Maybe handles with nice plastic grips that have really sticky suff on the flat plate kinda thing they're attached to? |
|

Powr-Grip® <link> will grip almost any smooth surface and allow easy carrying. Truly, a Handles for All. |

$55.95, [Klaatu]? Plus having to carry it everywhere? I don't think its worth it. Plus, its like saying that the Wolftronix animatronic tail link bakes the 'Tails for All' idea... |

Sorry, I don't think "put handes on things that don't have handles" is a suitable idea for the bakery. |

I just cannot handle double negatives. |
