T-Handle Buyer’s Guide
If you’ve ever turned a bolt on your ATV, there’s a good chance you’ve come to rely upon the charm of the T-handle driver. These things excel at fighting into tight spaces, provide superior leverage to a wrench or ratchet, and then can be spun freely once you’re in remove or install mode.
While it may seem when it comes to T-handles, nothing is new under the sun, the truth is there are a few models that we’re pretty excited about. Let’s take a closer look:
MOTION PRO
A shop favorite, the Motion Pro Spinner T-handle is our go-to driver in most situations. It’s available in either 3/8″ or 1/4″ drive and boasts the following features:

The cost is about $24 for each of the drive options- which in addition to 3/8″ or 1/4″ also includes a swivel handle and a bit-driver.
