Minor comment on lucets in general. I find the handled ones less
easy to carry around, because they don't fit into a needlework bag
as well. I think the main thing the handle is good for is spinning
the lucet around while working, but I've never missed having one
and don't think it a necessary feature.
I use the style without a handle. The base rotates in the palm of
my hand quite comfortably. I had to try a few before I found the
right shape for my hand.

It was suggested to me that the cord could be wrapped around the
handle as you work. But I realized I had to unwrap and rewrap as it
got longer. For me it's not about the handle so much as the shape of
the tines. I like them flared a bit so the work does not fall off
easily. Also nice and smooth, but if there is a problem there you can
fix it with sandpaper.
