ok i was gona go to homedepot to get a handle (home depot is like 30miles away) but now i found out ace hardware (8miles away) has the same exact stuff, its AWSOME i seriously didnt think they had stuff lol

but which handle should i get? i only need one

handle 1, is a small maybe 4 inch long handle, just how it looks (its a drawer handle, can it support the case?)

like that but its rounded, not flat (or should i get the flat? its longer)

2 is a garage door handle, theres one with a striaght/flat middle and theres one with a round middle which one? they have 2 in a pack

3 is just a regular type handle, heavy duty

i could get one of these

I know exactly what #3 is and it will be the sturdiest of the lot. If you want something more attractive or rugged you could get mooring or tie handles from a marine supply store.
My Home Depot has so many different kinds of handles...

Man, I went through this just 2 days ago. In the end I decided to dig out my pipe bender and some fairly thin copper piping. I bent it to 90* with rounded corners and added some springs and, well, here's a picture.

What it tries to illustrate is that when the handles aren't in use, they spring back into the case but can be pulled out when required. And by the way, yes, I did put enough bracing in so that they actually work :p.

Neither. GEt mnpctech heavy duty handles or chrome handles.

They look way nicer and you won't regret it.

haha. Thats true. They are 30 bucks. I am getting the powder black heyvy duty ones. I have also used the ones at home depot for cases that are not mine. I suggest the 2.

Id personnaly go with number 1. I have 2 on my case and they look very uniform along with go flush with the sides of my case.

What did you use to fix them on with?

I'm just wondering because there's always a risk of things snapping etc...

usually use machine screws or rivets
