I think the handle's a little short
The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes
Quick hand warmer.
And warmer!
I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for "focus on what you're doing" or something.

In short, this is a battery handle.
It will unleash the battery's potential
Might be terminal though
Perhaps, but I think we’ll see a high level of resistance.

Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won't get stuck in it.
Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.
Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.
It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)

It was the last thing they made
With that hand, anyway.
Say you made this, but insulated... does a car battery have enough structural strength in the terminals, though? I imagine you're left holding a handle with two terminals and half a cell stuck to each.
I work in an auto parts warehouse:
Yeah, they'd be fine. It's surprisingly difficult to break them apart. The load would spread out to almost the full width of the battery on either end (ie the plates attached to the terminals against the underside of the lid). Some of the models I ship use plastic straps that hook onto the seam between the lid and base and you can really toss em around before they take damage. (some people are less than gentle with parts :/ but I'm not the manager so 🤷)
Some of the larger batteries with screw terminals might not survive, but the ones where these clamp style are used would be fine.

Took me a min to realize...
I am a "ask me anything" Tech, ask me anything!
How long can you hold the handle once it's attached to a fully loaded battery?

Why does it smell like BBQ in here?
If it's plastic, then it's fine.
A bit of copper would spice things up

that's a killer gadget!
Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.
