New York Barbells T-Handle for Oly Plates
$50 and free shipping.
So far, I'm liking it for very heavy kettlebell swings. I've used mine twice with 6 x 25 lb. plates on it, so with the weight of the handle and the collars, about 160 lbs. and I weighed 149 this morning.
I'm not sure whether I'm swinging the handle or it's swinging me just yet <smile> but this has potential, IMHO, as a deadlift assistance movement and as just plain fun, and the grip is about wide enough for both hands, unless a kettlebell, and it has the added benefit of being adjustable.
You will have to rid yourself of the notion that these are explosive - at least compared to a normal kettlebell size, they're rather slow moving, but one tries to move the weight quickly and I guess that's the point.
