T-handle

Cross-topped turning tool

A T-handle is a handle shaped like the letter T, with a horizontal grip perpendicular to the shaft.

The design provides leverage and torque for turning: T-handle wrenches, T-handle hex keys, T-handle corkscrew.

Walking canes and garden tools often have T-handles for comfortable grip.

In exercise equipment, a T-handle attaches to cables for pulling movements.
