Does anyone know how to remove the top handle?

I'd start with removing the mirror on the inside of the lid. The two horizontal screws seem to line up with the ends of the handle. I looked at mine for that answer, but I'm not willing to disassemble it for the answer. I'd start there. I think that will resolve your issue. In looking at the other answers they say you can feel the screw heads under the felt. I don't think you'd have to remove all the felt. With an X-acto blade you can surgically cut around the heads to access the screws. If that's what you REALLY want to do. Give either of those options a try.

Why on earth would you want to ... it is there for portability. However, if you are set to do so, you must remove the felt on the underside of the lid to get to the screws to the handle hardware - making a mess. You will then need to replace the felt if you want a good looking tool chest.

I've not had a reason to take it off, but I did examine the handles hardware and believe I know the approach. When looking at the handle itself and the hardware attached, it appears the chrome buckles snap down on the apposing sides of the handle. I suggest putting a flat piece of metal under the screwdriver you will use to pry up the ends, so you won't damage the top of the wooden lid.

I can feel the screw heads under the felt on both sides of the mirror. You would have to remove the felt or cut it to get to the screws.

I have never tried to do this, but you might want to unscrew the mirror and see if you can gain access to the handle hardware that way. Good luck.

There are small setscrews holding the handles. Use a small blade screw driver to remove them. I'm not sure about replacement handles, if they could be purchased from a distributor or not. The handles are definitely not like any others I have ever seen. The valve stem they attach to is standard so you could replace the handles with something more typical if something should happen to the original ones.

No, you can't. The handle is only for lifting the top so you can remove the cooked food.

You have to push down on the top and screw off. A couple I have take some effort but it can be done

I suggest you pop the handle out. its really easy just remove the screw and they come out. in the rear of the handle there is a spring attached to plastic retainer and the plastic loop that attaches to the door metal bar mechanism. 95% certain that the plastic part is broken ,most of the times it is. if you need to replace them you will NOT need other parts.

the handle on my unit can be taken off by aligning the slot and sliding the handle over, then carefully lifting that end then the other to remove the handle , then lift the clear top the tabs last. to assemble reverse the steps

There are 2 black pieces that you squeeze at the top of the handle ant it will remove the top part, then you can put the reservoir back in place

It all comes apart but I can't explain how to do it. The one thing I will say is that the handle is difficult to unscrew but it is doable.

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

The top of the knob comes off...you can see a slight line at the joint. Use a small screw driver or knife blade to gently remove it. There is a screw below the cap.

You may be able to the top is secure by bent metal so to take it off you would probably use needle nose pliers to open it

Hi, It is really pretty easy. Remove the handle with the supplied allen wrench and the the outer escutcheon just slides off with a twist of your hand.

I have a swivel circle at the end of the handle, too and I can't figure it out. I've tried to remove it thinking it was there to hold the tag but I can't get it off!

I believe so -- just remove the two hex bolts and the handle should come off.

Just press the detent on top of and toward the end of the handle. Quicker and easier than others I've tried.

there is a small groove at the front of the handleyou pull thup up until it clicks and then you slide it forward but first you have to remove the top of the front barrel with an allen key, you only have to remove the middle screw on each side
