How to fix stuck luggage handle!

  • The date was Thursday April 0, 2019. I had just arrived in San Francisco and was on the Bart Simpson train to meet a buddyroo. As the doors closed and I settled in my seat, I went to lower my handle. It was stuck halfway. I furiously jimmy jangled the handle to no avail. It just wouldn't go down. Eventually I reached into the bag and felt around the lining. To my disbelief, a rhino lizard horn was impeding the progress of the handle. I put that lil lizard in its place and now we can all talk about it.
    Special thanks to Tim the Enchanter who helped me with the space tunnel:

    This was my other description idea:
    I fell on the way to meet Mrs. CheapAssReviews for lunch last Thursday. It was on a crowded street in a thick group of people. One girl laughed and ushered her friend away, that didn't hurt so bad, not like the guy. That one stung. He gave me a real dirty look and he kept on giving me that look for two whole blocks. Looking back over the collar of his hounds tooth jack like I was some sort of low life degenerate. Well jokes on him--I know how to fix the handle on carry-on luggage.

    Engagement is important for TH-cam. This is incredibly helpful, people were looking at me as if I were crazy when I was trying to make one last attempt to fix my handle in the lineup to my flight. Thaaaank you

    Thank you so much! Just finished testing this and it totally worked! I was not only worried since I'm taking a trip in a couple days but also bummed about my 'busted' suitcase since I really like it a lot. You saved us!

    I was already getting embarrassed by holding up a line because i couldnt put my luggage up the cabin! I placed it there with the handles still up 😅😂 so as not to hold the line. But tried to fix the issue with like this and it did.
    This video is very helpful. Thank you 🫶

    You’re so brilliant!!! Thank you! My little bag didn’t have a zipper, but I was able to press the button through the liner without cutting the liner. Took less than a minute!

    This happened to my friend when we checked in our luggage. Took him time of jamming it up and down till it works again. The people waiting behind looked surprised 😂

    To fix, I pressed the button on the handle, and sprayed WD40 into the holes along the length of the handle. I quickly opened and closed it, so the WD40 could spread around in the interior. Now, it works!

    First time I saw. Was amazed that you had a way to temporary fix. I’m going to try it out but have to ask my daughter first. It was hers. Thank you. If I try this I hope it lasts a long time. Otherwise if under warranty might be something to consider first.

    Nice but I have is a SEARS Craftsmen Sit/Stand/Tote Truck, not a luggage but it has a handle. Now, I only could pull up half way up, yours is to push it down. I can push it down but it wont go all the way up. It is quite complicated. Can you help or anyone can? I do not see an screws at all. I do not know how they built like that without screwing things together. Well?

    Thanks to this video , I'm finding that with my particular back I just need
    to open the bag a bit and push in the lock button on the left side, done.
    I don't really need the handle , but if it accidentally gets pulled out, now I know
    How to get it to retract.
