Good handle for trolley purposes
First of all something about my person: I am sound engineer for smaller companies and a few professional bands. Although thomann most of the venues have very good PA systems, I bring all my mics, stands and tools by myself. Therefore I always have the right tools to mix the show and do not have to use cheap or bad microphones from the local guy.
One Day I decided to modify a flight case to my own needs to put all my tools and microphones to one place. Therefore I bought a 80 by 40 cm case for around 100 bugs. To modify it to the perfect tool case I decided to to tip it, so the opening is rather on the front than on the top. In addition I decided to add some edge castors. In this regard, I needed a good handle to carry the case as a trolley.
The Adam Hall 3471 Handle in fact does a perfect job. I equipped both of my cases with wooden drawers inside. Actually I have small, easy to handle drawer case which do are not too heavy as well. I have got my tools in the first, and my microphones in the other case and I'm perfectly happy to transport both case as a trolley to the next gig. And I always have my own stuff with me.

Strong Enough
Used on a briefcase-style flight case loaded weight 20kg so added wheels and this handle.
Good extension for wheeling and strong enough for the job.
The pads on the handle frame that act as feet when the case is laying down, are at the width of the handle - if they were separated by the whole width of the fixing plates, the case would sit more stable when lying on its handle frame.
The handle does not lock in closed position so when my helpers pick up the case by the handle with the handle closed, it slides down the handle unexpectedly.
The handle grip protrudes outside the edge of the case even when retracted.

A must if you want to be portable
I have lugged an 810 cab around for years. Downsized to the very small Ampeg 210AV cabs. Attaching this handle to the flight cases makes the cabs even more portable. If you have a small cab in a flight case, these handles will make your gigging life a lot easier. Moving your gear is more like strolling through the airport than hauling a bass rig around. I'm sure they have other applications for lead boxes etc. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Easy to fit, but a bit flimsy
Good value, but feels a bit flimsy and weak when extended. Definitely not a lifer.

Works great. But there's a strange curve / angle built into the handle. This is why, even when totally retracted, the handle protrudes a little outside of the contour of the box.
