the Titans have their uses. They are cheap, light and disposable. For lower load jobs and for small boats they are fine for just about ecverything. I mean the 8" handles though as I agree the longer ones would flex too much. On a larger boat they would be good only for adjusting things like outhauls, vangs and rolling in a jib .... Back to little boats. The smaller 8 iinch Titans good for halyards etc ... also for cabintop grinding of spin sheets, guy etc if necessary. Likely fine for genoas esp on 25 ft boats or less with fractional rigs. MAsthead with big genoas I am not sure. I have used the Titan floating handles for years on my Niagara 26 and now on J/27. No issues at all. I always use the 8 inch handles as well. Would love to get an 8" Lewmat locking handle but there are so many other places to spend $100 that it has not moved up the list that high yet. However I have been looking and am planning one this year which will relegate the other three handles to the pit Mike Nut Case
