I purchased this because the small plastic T-shaped handle that came with my lawn mower had cracked and left a sharp edge. I was bummed and at first tried to find the exact part to replace it with after ruling out a duck-tape solution, but it was being sold for $35-$40 (crazy!). Then I found this and it was so easy to replace. This is so much nicer than the one that broke; now I get the mower to start on the first try every time and the handle is extremely comfortable. If I knew how much difference the handle makes, I would have bought this when I first purchased the mower. I can fit my entire hand on this one and before I could only fit two fingers on the T handle. If you are female and/or occasionally have trouble pulling hard enough to get your mower to start on the first try, I 100% recommend this.

The only issue I had with the installation is that the handle really isn't designed to work on larger (10 hp or more) engines using a 1/4" cord. I'm sure the installation procedure in the installation instructions works just fine for the lighter cord used by smaller engines. Because of the larger cord being used, I had to cut the knot off my cord, partially melt the end of the cord to draw it out to a reduced diameter and then feed it into the handle opening from the "engine end" of the handle. Not really a big deal, just took a bit of time.
The engine being used is on a hydraulic wood splitter, and is directly coupled to the hydraulic pump. This means that when starting the engine I'm having to not only spin the engine but turn the shaft of the hydraulic pump as well. In colder weather (now about 10 above zero) the hydraulic oil is stiff and it's a real job to turn over the engine and pump. This handle allows me to get a good grip and not have the cord yanked from my fingers if the engine decides to fight back. I'm now able to start the engine much more readily than in the past with the small T handle.
I'd already replaced the starter handles on my chainsaws with D handles of another brand. This handle is so much more comfortable that I'll now be replacing those handles with this model handle, so will be ordering three or four more.

I don't typically write reviews within minutes of receiving a product, but I am so excited about this (and I don't think this is something that needs a long trial period).
First, some background: I am a small, young female homeowner, and last year as a housewarming gift, my father bought me a really nice Honda lawnmower. It's one of those "EasyStart" mowers. Well, apparently it's easy for *men* to start, but not so easy for me. I've always struggled with starting it. Several times I've called my dad thinking the mower is broken, but when he comes over he can start it right up. Last week I took it to a repair shop just to make sure there wasn't something wrong with it, but it was confirmed that it was working normally. They gave me some tips on getting it started, and I've been able to get it started, but it's not easy. The last time I mowed my lawn, I got it started after about 5-6 pulls, and I was thrilled. However, I ordered this handle in hopes it would make it easier for me.
I just got it today. I ran outside and tied it onto the mower (I didn't replace the cord, although that will come in handy later on). I pulled it once - didn't start. I pulled it a second time, and it started right up. I wasn't trying very hard, so two pulls was REALLY impressive for me. This type of handle gives a lot more leverage; now I know why my snowblower was so much easier for me to start than my lawnmower. As a bonus, it's also much more comfortable to hold, and it feels solid.
If you're like me and have trouble starting your mower, GET THIS.
