My mom is tall (6 feet) and traveling with one small piece of luggage for short trips had become "a pain" because although most of the "weekend size bags" are on wheels, they are designed for much shorter people.  This handle not only gave her those needed few inches so she doesn't have to bend over and "walk funny", but because it it able to rotate, she can walk with her arm at a more comfortable position. Definitely worth the money!
