Nice handle option for DR

[Tim A]

I took a chance on this hoping it would fit. It does, barely. It will set right in between the butt cheeks on a 200 without touching them or having to extend the back. The handle is comfortable to grip, plenty of room for knuckles.

To make the 1/4" back strong enough I cut a strip of 1/2" ply just wide enough to fit between the cheeks and sit flush with the top and bottom, then installed the back over it. Routing was done as a unit, but before the back was installed on the cab. The four screws that hold the handle on use T nuts, the remainder use 1/2" screws.

This allows you to carry 1 in each hand? ( cool )

[Tim A]

Yes. You could do this with a 250 as well. 280 would probably be out of the question unless you swing from trees and eat lots of bannanas!

[Dave Non-Zero]

nah, after exhaustive testing i found that it was prohibitively difficult to eat a banana whilst swinging from a tree, carrying a dr280. maybe with an assistant or possibly a prosthetic banana feeding device....hmmm, back to the drawing board...

Lift, don't yank. I had a pair of those in t24's at one point. They would break the handle out if you jerked the box up. As long as you are nice to them, they'll be fine. Teenage boys didn't understand lift not yank.

Teenage boys didn't understand lift not yank.

They have difficulty weight lifting as well, not grasping the concept of clean and jerk as opposed to the opposite order.
