How is the handle attached to the sieve part? Is it welded or is it bolted on?

In my opinion it is spot welded. It is not just a tiny spot but tghe handle rods are flattemned and exdend about 3/4 inch to either side. The attachment of the handle to the rim appears to be quite rugged.

handle is neatly welded on both sides...I have been using this sieve and it works admirably even with hottest pasta. I love it

Well I'm not an expert on this but it's either welded or pressed, there's no bolts at least on sight. It is pretty sturdy, it can hold up to 3 cups of raw quinoa which makes the process of rinsing it easier. The silicon covered handle is comfortable comfortable and slip proof even when wet.

It is welded to the rod and very well built. I've use this to start post holes and have hit many rocks and roots that stopped it in its tracks but never damaged it.

The handle comes as one piece, but it's not a solid piece of metal. It's 3 pieces where 2 of them screw into the main handle.

The handle is fixed. I like it that way, you don't have to be afraid of it getting too hot to grab it.

it is welded to the center shaft. It is a high quality tool that should last a long time. I have purchased two of them over the years and they have lasted a long time.

The handle to the sauce pan is welded on. The lid handle screws on and off.

The handle is spot welded and you can barely even tell it's welded. Very nice and durable. Heavy duty use. I recommend

The handle needs to be attached. I am not particularly adept at things like that, but was able to do it.I like my machine.

Well, I have the pot right in front of me and I'm not sure. There are some indentations around the edge of the handles that would make me think they are riveted, but the indentations don't go all the way through. The inside is completely smooth. It looks like the side handles are one piece with a base plate giving them lots of strength where they are attached. The lid handle appears to either be welded or riveted like the side handles but without the base plate.

its attached by a hinge - by the way, I totally love this kettle and use it many times a day.

There is a metal screw and 2 rivets on the inside of the lid that holds the handle on, however, I've used it quite a bit and have had no issues with rust. I'll see if I can attach a photo for you to see.

No, it is weld on. Only hardware is the pin that holds the foot to the jack. Great product.

No it's not welded. It's threaded on both sides and held in with nuts. I have had no leak issues.

Yes the handle is secured with the same screws used to attach the wheels and the rest of the parts.

I had to use needle nose pliers to hold one of the bolts on the handle. Adjustable wrench would work too.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

One piece from rim of ladle cup to 5" up the handle. Then a 1/16" metal ring which appears to lock the handle (last 5") to the rest of the piece. This last 5" is somewhat softer, more cushiony. My guess is that it fits around a shaft inside the molded section and clamps it together. I've had no problems.
