Can the handles easily be removed and replaced in order to attach some sort of insulation (electrical shrink tubing) to them?

No, while the handles are not solid loops, the tang that goes I to the pot is too long to pull out without bending them too much or bending the titanium sleeve. This is especially true for the top. Although each may be different from what I see from other answers. This is my second one and neither have been able to.

you can use nuts and bolts or waterproof rivets. the handle comes with partially pre drilled holes.

I took a look at mine and it looks like the handle could be removed, however, I have never removed it and have not had a reason to yet.

It would take a hack saw to cut off the handles, but it would work good after you got rid of the handles. That is a very good idea.

Yes it can be removed easily. The ends of the cables will be exposed when unit is removed, because they plug into the back of unit. The molded plugs are water tight and shouldn't be a problem. You can always wrap with a plastic bag and rubber bands if you want extra security from the elements.

The handles fold down so you do not need to remove them. Or I think you can just unscrew it.

Technically, yes, but it's not designed to be. You'd need a tool to bend the handle to remove it...

Although I have not tried to remove the handles, it appears that you can; there are two Phillips head screws clearly visible at the ends of the handles where they are secured to the cabinet.

No they are not electrically insulated. If they were it would be stated they meet the required code. The handles MAY provide some insulation but are not rated for it. It is NEVER safe to assume something is electrically insulated.

It's not too difficult, but you would need to use a screwdriver to take it off and put it on, so not really practical if you wanted to remove the handle every day.

you can shorten the wires , it would be very tedious , you would need the correct wire/pin tools to open and close all the fittings/crimps

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them.I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.

Depends on the handle , you have to heat the handle to the point where the solder will flow into the repair ,if your material is too thin where your heating it could simply melt away.

Handles are removable. Have had tripod for a year and no wear and tear on handles is apparent.I would guess replacement parts are available.Ron

Yes, the handle can be removed. You just squeeze it together at the base to either insert it or remove it.

Yes, the covers come off easily, and that gives you access to the center screws. These handles are easy to install and look great.
