In the words of Carl Jung, "The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." With that said, I've used the T-handle for over a year now. The original entry was from December 2008. I've also had countless people email me regarding the tool. I didn't invent it and have no financial interest in it. I do however (along with plenty of others) find it useful. To state that you "hate" the tool doesn't tell us anything. What about it do you not like? There isn't anything fancy or special about it. It's used for swings. It's easy to load and can handle a good deal of weight. That's it. Different people will obviously have different opinions regarding equipment. In the words of Carl Jung,

I made this thing and what a piece of junk. I hate it. It's much better to just swing two heavy kettlebell (or even dumbbells) on the outside of the legs at the same time ... much better.

The swing is an excellent compound exercise that really gets you blowing (alternatively as you mention, it can be used for other strength qualities). What is particularly good about this idea is that you can adjust the weight, something you can't ordinarily do with kettlebells. Additionally, I'd feel a lot more comfortable swinging this than swinging a dumbell - don't fancy whacking my shins! The construction looks that simple even I could put it together.
