My solution to the "how to carry your T-Handle" issue: The Hip-Clip.

I would be interested in picking up a couple of these from you if you decide to sell any...maybe others on the forum would be interested also...let me know if if you can and how much they would run...again what a great idea.

Me too PLEASE!

Should be plenty to go around. I cut another batch of 50 yesterday. I'll be working on the bending jig this week also.

These should be available by the end of the month at the latest. Maybe sooner.

The Hip-Clip is now available, but in very limited supply. Due to my work schedule my time has been very limited lately but I wanted to keep my promise of having some of them ready by the end of the month. So I have a small batch (about 20) available via The Hip-Clip webpage that I recently put up (will have its own domain name soon) This should be enough to cover those requested in this thread and via PM:

Get your Hip-Clip here!

If they sell out and you miss out on the first batch just check back in a few days as I'll have more of them ready right after Thanksgiving.


A few notes before you purchase:

Please keep in mind that these are not stamped out by the dozens from a machine. Each one is deburred, bent and painted by hand. Although I try my best to keep them as uniform and consistent as possible, you may notice slight variations in the shapes.

These are designed for Sampson shovels and will work with either ball or T handles. However, they may work with other 1" shaft shovels as well, but will require a little bending. Before you purchase, I'd suggest looking over the installation instructions and installation tips (linked on the web page).
