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.

It worked
Nice
Took me 2 hours at the waiting lounge trying to fix this. After watching this video, I was able to fix it in 20 seconds! Thank you very much!
Wanted to let you know this totally helped after being super frustrated by our suitcase before a trip! Thank you so much!
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!
This helped me a ton, thank you lots, saved me an embarrassing conversation when I would have put it in the top of the plane with its arms are fully extended
Engagement is important for CZcams. 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
I WAS SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED. I thought to myself, you google everything, lets google this. I found your tutorial and it worked like a charm!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Fantastic! Handle got stuck as I'm about to board the plane. Thanks to your video, I reached right in through the zipper and got it to close. Thank you!
This literally took 2 minutes. So easy and simple. Thank you. You saved me from embarrassment at the airport.
Hahaha!!! I feel you!!!
Hi Tim! It was so easy I was not expecting the way you explained. Really, thank you too much for excellent help and service to mankind.
Thank you soooo much! This worked! I was going to buy a new carry on cause it was jammed but saw they were $89+. So thankful I came across your channel!
Live saver 🙏 thank you !! I randomly Googled how to fix stuck handle while waiting in the lounge with no hopes of actually finding anything lol. Fixed in one second !! Thanks
YIPPEE!! Fixed my luggage in less than a heartbeat! Easy Breezy!! Thank you for this post - greatly appreciated!!
Thank you very kind Eric man, the illustration was wonderful too! Watched this on a bus on the way to the airport so you saved my booty. I was going to wedge the lever against a pillar to get it unstuck until I saw this and fixed it at the airport :)
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!
Thank sweet baby Jesus I found this. The day before my trip to Singapore my handle was jammed, worked like a charm, now I don't have to buy new luggage for a bit. Lifesaver!!
You da man!
I never thought a video on how to fix suitcase handles could make me laugh that much 😂😂👍👍👍
Love your reviews as well!! Made my day!
Glad to hear it! :) Hope you got your bag fixed!
Thanks a ton, you just saved me from last minutes embarrassment as I am about to catch up my flight for long vacation and my luggage got stuck...somehow I managed to fix this thing and hope to continue my journey
This worked great. What I used was "true" duct tape. The kind that is like a heavy duty tin foil. It is much more durable but also flexible and hopefully last a lot longer. Thanks for the video.
It freaking worked I have been battling with my luggage for 3 hours I have loosed the nuts it didn’t work I screwed all nuts back and just decided to google and 3 videos came up thank God I picked yours thanks soooo much 💜💜
Great quick fix, thanks!Any video on how to fix permanently?
ERIK YOU’RE THE BEST!!! My suitcase wouldn’t open & I had to carry it through madrid. Found your video & it worked like a charm! Now it’s up and rolling! Thanks for the video
YAAAAAAASSSSSSS!
Thank you so much for this helpful advice. It was my favourite bag and now is working perfectly again ❤️
Thank you so much. I was not able to use the bag for 2 years! Now works fine. Nothing is simple unless you know it.
Thanks so much this was super helpful!! So glad I can still use my bag for longer than I thought! Shot dude!! 👊🏻
This helped, thank you!! My mum was saying that we should dispose of the trolley but gladly i found your video :)
For those who aren't able to get this to work, make sure that the folded tape properly fits into the small hole, but also that it doesn't get lost inside the tunnel of that long bar and that it's held in place properly by the tape over it.
Man I found it on a sidewalk and said it was free. The only thing that wasn’t working was the handle and this just helped it lmao. Tape always gets the job done ✅ 🥴
I seriously did not think this would work but I am so glad I was wrong! It has had me frustrated no end without a handle!! Thank you so much :)
This is a great fix. Was going to throw away my favorite bag because it was stuck. This “temporary fix” has been a permanent fix for me. Thanks!
Seriously, thank you!!! I never even noticed the zipper in my suitcase! I rarely fly, but will be traveling soon and needed to get out my regulation sized suitcase that I previously thought was busted :D
This worked great. I was resigned to the handle eventually getting broken off on my next flight. Thanks a bunch
Lol, just in the nick of time :)
Dude! It worked! Thank you! My husband was going nuts with the handle. Your video saved our luggage!
Oh my god the rhino lizard was just beautiful and perfect.
And yes, the stargate sequence in 2001 was just a representation of what your mind goes through when you're dealing with stuck carry-on luggage handles. Very on point.
Damn Rhino Lizards ruining lives... 🦏🦎
First of all I like your humor 😂😂 and secondly! THANK YOU!!! It worked!!
This was super helpful, thank you! Going to ride this until the lizard rhino horn wears out
Awesome, I was able to fix my luggage thanks to your great tip. Thank you so much!
Have a great trip!
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!
I was just thinking about that solution and testing it while coming over your video. You confirmed my thought that it would work. Thank you for your video!
Thank you. So much for the quick fix, saved me a lot of trouble
Cheers mate. I would never have figured this out without you👍
Thank you so much for this video. You have saved me a tonne of stress and money. Your instructions were easy to understand and you’re very funny! 😁
Yay!
😂😂 Thanks got help and laughter at the same time! What a beautiful day
Thank you so much for making this video. This problem has been agonizing me for years now, and just like that,its gone. Problem solved.👍👍👍
I was at the airport and less than 20 mins until my flight board and found your video. You rock! It worked but I don’t have any tape but was able to get the handles down in time.
Legend! I don’t have a broken bag, but I watched this video anyway. Now I know how to fix a thing.
Damn! Smart me, typed in for a fix for my carryon..lol(wasn’t expecting anything)
And there comes your video like Christmas!
and Saved me $50 buy…..
thanks man!🤩
Thank you so much Eric, i FIXED my luggage with your help 😘
That worked like a charm! Thank you!!!
Me and my family were ik the middle of the airport and couldnt get the handle down, we were flying with fricking Ryanair... my dad was getting pissed of. After half an hour i searched this up and it worked. Can't thank you enough🙌
Been struggling with my luggage in my trips for the last 1-2ish years of trip. Either i successfully push the handle down or not at all. I always spend time in the boarding gate pushing it down and board the plane without retracting the handle. Thanks for this video!
Man you’re the best!! After losing my mind I found your video and now I’m at peace dude!! A+++
Excellent! Quick and easy! Well done!
This worked really well for me. Thank you for posting! I really appreciate this video!
OMG this is exactly the idea I needed. THANK YOU!!! Now I just need to figure out how to buy tape in Italian.
Thank you , thank you , you help me so much ! Leaving today for a trip of my life time , I was ready to go out to buy a new luggage . More money to expand in other things
Brand new 🤷🏻♀️Didn’t try the tape yet, but I was able to get it lowered into place. 😊 Thank you
Great help. Found the mechanism and was able to loosen it with some WD40. It works fine now.
This wasn’t the problem with mine but it still helped because it gave me the idea to check in the suitcase for the problem. Thank you!!
This worked, used it on my away suitcase just now after watching your video, 15 seconds and it's fixed, thanks!!
"jam it in the hole"... lol My problem was that it was stuck in the down position, but your tip still worked. Thanks from Sweden!
it worked for me!! i’m so glad that i came across your video, thanks a lot!!!
So quick and easy problem solving 👏🏼
This was entertaining and SPOT ON. Fixed the stuck handle. thanks
Could not get my handle down. Tried for 5 minutes. Watched this video, took me 20 seconds to fix it. Thanks!!!
this did not have to be as beautiful as it was. thank you.
I have the same roll-aboard, same problem. I opened the thing up. Removed the assembly, added a tiny drop of 3-in-1 oil at each hole. Things got about 40/60 working over sticking. So I took a Dremel and rounded over the edges of the hole that the lizard/rhino horns come through, and ever so slightly beveled the side of the lizard/rhino horn itself. So far so good, we’ll see if it lasts and I don’t end up cussing out my luggage again on a crowded flight with people trying to get past me.
That's what I like to hear Clay! Hope it's a long term fix.
I was at the airport trying to figure it out I got on CZcams
Works like a charm ! Thank you
Worked, getting me through this next business trip! Thanks
Fantastic! Hope your meetings go well!
Thank you so much, going to try this on my “luxury” luggage that’s been retried in the attic , I’ll get back to you on the outcome , thanks again
Thanks man! I didn't even know I had a zipper there. i'm sure customs knows more about my baggage than I do.
No worries!
Thankyou very much, I thought of throwing away my Stroller before going to India. Now after your Video, it's fixed. I can let it repair in India 😃👍
Thanks helped us get one back from FL to DFW!
This was so helpful! Thank you
Thanks, pal. It worked. Worth the trouble of unpacking a big suitcase. Love you ❤
This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
Dude, you helped me a lot. It got stuck in airport.
Thankyou sooo muchhh
My school bag's trolley wouldnt close and this worked ...i really wasnt up for buying a new bag cuz i have an emotional attachment to this one!
Thankyouu!!!
Thanks for making this video. Your trick worked!
thank you so much, just saved me buying a new bag!!!
Thank you, worked perfectly, used a folded paper and wrapped it with a band aid.
Brilliant!!! Thanks Eric!
didnt even have to watch the whole video, it helped me right away....Thanks (Canada)
I was ready to break the handle but you save it :) ,thank you so much
Thanks! I developed this problem after arrival; thought I'd have to leave the bag at the hotel and get a duffel bag to go home.
this helped a LOT! thank you so much!!!!
This helped me enormously thank you!!
I spilled shampoo in my luggage, and after hosing it out and letting it dry, something inside must have gotten rusty inside the sliding handle. Thanks for showing me an easy fix! The button for me is right near the top so I can easily slide my hand in there and press the button down manually, instead of keeping it taped down. Better than having to buy a whole new suitcase, at least for now 😝
It worked. You've saved me and my roommate. Thank you so much💜💜🙏🙏🙏💜
Sweeeeet!
Just what I needed, thanks!
this helped, thank you so much!
yeet!
OMG!!!! Thank you! Haven't used my carry on luggage because of the handle and with your tutorial, i fixed it in 5 seconds. Yeahhhh
Fixed. Thanks for this. It works. ❤️
Worked like a charm! 🙌
Just fixed a friend's suitcase. Your way was sure fire as opposed to taking it all apart. Thanks!
That is very good news to hear!
Thank you so much! You saved my piece of luggage.
The cutest tip, thank you very much 👏👏
This was so helpful!!
Eric you are a life saver. Thank so much!!!!!!
Without a doubt this is the best tutorial on YT
You are a genius ! Thanks for the great idea !
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 😂
Hahaha, glad he got it down before the flight!
Thanks a lot
Thank you so much, I fixed my luggage with your help~!! 😀
