What is the red 'unlock' handle for, and is it removable or movable or what?

It is used as a grip for the head. It locks in multiple positions (from parallel to drive shaft to 90*) and can rotate from one side of the driver to the other. Turning that handle locks it in whatever position you find comfortable for the task at hand. It is not removable but if you lock it parallel to the drive shaft its like its not there. Its a great feature.

It loosens up to swing out to a 90° position. This gives you an extra handle to hold onto if you are using the right angle for drilling with a butterfly bit or other drilling.

Yes, the handle is removable, until you mushroom out the hex. It just slides on and off the screw like a wrench. Not sure about the exact size of the hex, but a 30mm wrench fits slightly loose.

Just pull on the handle to open it. It doesn't lock closed....it only locks open and you press the button to close the handle.

It's a spring loaded mechanism. Sometimes, you have to use a blunt object to depress the unlocking protocols, which cannot be done using your finger. If you have a chopstick, or something hard, that will do the job.

The handle does NOT have a lock function at all...only the deadbolt locks as is typical with most door locks of this type/style. The handle (thumb latch and/or lever) are essentially what is commonly referred to as a "Passage" set which means they are always open and do not have any locking capability. The deadbolt is the means by which you lock your door with this hardware. And if you are concerned that you only have one lock instead of two, don't be...the one deadbolt lock is enough and it is built like a tank! My wife and I absolutely love the one we have. Keyless entry is awesome!

It allows you to remove the box and carry into say a hotel room or where ever. You release it by unlocking the top and it also allows you to push in the red release lever to release from the locking plate. Key only turns one way.

It has two plastic handles that come together and you can put a padlock through the handle holes. Its more of a visual deterent. You could probably slide a large screwdriver behind the handle and bust it off.

The "slot" opening in the middle is the handle to carry it around. I use it for painting the foundation of my house and my landscaping pruning. The seat on wheels help to scoot left or right instead of getting up and down to move.

Yep, secondary handle can be removed completely or also attached near the grip.

Latch and handle both. But this one is cheap. I have already broken two of them and am looking for a better solution before buying a third.

There is no lock for securing the wand to the handle. It's just a friction fit. I haven't had any trouble with it inadvertently coming apart.

The description is wrong. This one does not have a lock. The handle with the lock is at the following link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00115TIYC/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1

Seems silly but are you sure it is in the unlocked position? When in the locked position the lever part is at the unlocked arrow. You have to press down and move the selector the direction of the arrow in order for it to unlock. When unlocked the Lever should be at nearly a 45degree angle and free to bobble back and forth when touched. When locked the handle doesn't move even when pressed or pulled.

you will adjust pulling up or pushing down when it is unlocked. To lock you just have to twist both extremities to opposite sides.

The handle relocks when it latches each time automatically. The inside lever always allows free egress.

The device is activated by a switch on the handle. The location is convenient to use while holding the device in a normal manner.

The unlock button is one side only. It is not difficult to use the index finger to slide it if holding with left hand. See... your momma should have trained you to use your right hand like us correct people do! (Kidding of course). It is the nicest tongs I have ever owned.
