Questions & Answers

When tying the rope into the handles, how should it be done so that it fits correctly?

There are two pieces to the handle. Your kayak handle is tied to the rope by looping it through the hole in your kayak.

The handles are 42 inches long. Could you tell me the length of them?

Multiply 5 x 2 to arrive at 10. The sum of five and one is five by one. This is a 5 inch in diameter. There is a description for it. It's a wonderful replacement handle and it looks great It is easy to grin when you are around us.

The plastic piece and the screws that come with it need to be located. It comes with it, doesn't ?

A set of screws is not included

Can I drill holes in a canoe if I wanted to? Canoes are also allowed if they are small
5/5

The reason for Wandworks to work so well is because I wouldn't replace kayak with them. Almost every canoe I've owned or used did not have a handle. The bow and the stern were grabbed by the handle instead.

The rigid ones that came with my Vapor 10 angler lack some of the sophistication of these
5/5

A few reviewers mentioned that there are no instructions, however that is true, but if you possess some basic mechanical skills you can figure it out very easily. Some reviewers also mentioned that there isn't enough room inside for two knots, but I have found the opposite to be true as long as the knots are situated at the right spot inside the handle before clamping it shut, there was ample room. These are really great. I am very pleased with them. The red circle is one of the knots (simple overhand knot works as well) that you tie at the end of the paracord. Loop the paracord through the dark gray base, through whatever mounting point you want, and then through the dark gray piece, back through the bottom. The blue circle represents the other end of the paracord that is untied it will be tied into a knot like the red circle just after it has been run through the mounting point on your kayak and through the bottom of the In the picture, you will now want to position the two knots to go towards the white circles. In the picture, the knots coincide with the yellow squares on the light gray piece, and they are located across from the yellow squares. You should not place the knots in the way of the green circle piece, otherwise they will prevent the two pieces from fitting It is at this point that you are ready to squeeze the pieces together (the dark gray piece and the light grey There are two red arrows pointing to the tabs that go through the holes in the dark gray piece and clip in when squeezed firmly. . . . This is finished.

I have been very happy with the product, and it works the same as the previous handle I used
3/5

In this case, I want to give it 5 stars instead of 2 since I'm rather frustrated by how people complain about it. The product is great, it works just as well as my previous handle. It did not come with instructions and the cord was too thick and it was My opinion is that this is an unnecessary complaint. When you want something already assembled, it will be difficult for you to install The string and two pieces that fit into each other to make a string are all that is needed. Last but not least, if you complain about the cord being too thick, then to me that is just nonsense. Overall, I am very pleased with the product. In terms of price, I think it is a great price and it feels very solidly built. I strongly recommend the product.

It would have helped if there had been instructions
4/5

Due to a lack of instruction on how to fasten these to the kayak, I gave this item 3 stars. I spent a fair amount of time trying to find the best way to secure these to the kayak, and Old Town does not even have instructions on their web site for the handle. They may be the best handles ever, but I had to spend quite a bit of time figuring this out. Rather than stress that I'm trying to avoid those ways, I've emphasized doing the best I can, as there are many ways to do it wrong or not well. As I stated earlier, what I was hoping to get was something pre-designed The kayak handle came already assembled so I just needed to thread the loop end through the kayak hole and loop the end around the handle to complete the task. The rope is made of two pieces, along with the handle. There then follows the challenge of figuring out how to bridge your kayak to the boat. There is a lot of room for error here. How do I install the rope in the handle? Should I insert the ends in the handle, click the pieces together, and the rope will stay That did not work for me. Although someone replied to my question that it worked for them, I did not see it work for me. Would it be possible for you to undo a knot easily if you are like most people and don't realize the difference between a square knot and a granny knot? A big, overhand knot at both ends at the same time? How amazing would that be? I'm shocked at how big that knot is. I am not sure it will fit in the handle and it uses up a lot of the meager rope provided. Based on some research, I had become convinced that each end of the rope needed an overhand knot. There were fewer knots and they were able to lay down nicely inside the handle after a relatively small amount of rope was used. It's my pleasure to help!.

The product was excellent, it was well priced and it was easy to assemble
5/5

I like these a lot. A better alternative to the original (Hobie) handles that rusted out, and half the price. These do not have any I find this grip to be of good softness and suitable for my medium hands The size of the hand was perfect. This is so utterly ridiculous that people are complaining about these things so much. Are you in need of Do you mean what you say? The following is what you need to know This refers to1. 3.
Put a knot in it. 1. 2. 3. Connect two parts by snapping them Can you make that available for you to be printed? This is amazing. The gray part of one of the handles keeps coming loose from the handle. Not completely, but it is tearing on one end. NOTE The star has been removed. Although I haven't lost it yet, I keep wondering if I'll lose it one day.
