I assumed there must be some sort of rotating sleeve on the outer handle, but it was just a rubber tip that didn't allow it to rotate in the hand. I ended up using a piece of tubing I had laying around to mount one so it can actually be used but it would have been better if it just came with one. There is a rubber grommet on the middle handle that rotates, but this is not the best option. But on the other hand, considering the price and having a second handle so two kids can work on it at the same time, it still seems like a reasonable value.
