Does it take 2 hands to insert an item into the gripper-type holders? (i.e. one to lift up the gripper and one to place the item in)

I would say no. I have mine installed very high on the wall in our garage, and so I don't hold on to the gripper at all to insert or remove my brooms/mops because I couldn't reach it anyways.

Yes, very easy. You put it on your left hand with your right hand if you are right-handed. The opposite if your are left-handed. I hope this helps.

Yes, it can be securely placed in the cradle but _may_ require both hands to remove quickly.

It takes two hands, but it's easy and quick (5-10 seconds.) Basically I hook my thumbs in the pouch portion, and use all my fingers to stuff the sack into the pouch.

I'm not sure. It doesn't take particular strength, but I do need to use both hands to get it placed correctly.

I have large hands and I found the only way I could get it off was to hold the base in my left hand and twist the cover with my right (takes a lot of strength, like you are opening a pickle jar, etc.) It took me several minutes, but it did come off. Sorry, that's probably not helpful, but maybe if you used a gripper (like you would use to open jars, etc.) to help hold it in place, it might help. I ended up returning mine b/c I had so many issues with it, least of which was the difficulty in getting it apart.

In my experience I found I had to pull the seat portion up and use the other hand to push in legs. Process easy but I had to use two hands.

I dont to fold & unfold if i dont clip it in place. If i clip it in place, then i do need two hands.

Yes. It slides in and holds it snuggly. I'll be honest, I found that I didn't really trust the handstrap, and still kept ahold of the included lanyard...but I never had a problem either.

The directions say to do the thumbs separately, but I do not. I put all five in at once, very carefully. I think my hands are a sort of normal size, so I think most women could do the same.

I used a little pry bar (6" nail puller) and pried it a little at a time so not to break, down the length of the Gripper. It was a little easier after I worked on them for a while.

It's easy..just make sure the two points go towards the top of the holder..it should go back in there.. I couldn't figure it out either.. I just took the time to figure it out..

No, at least one grip will require removal. Easy though. Get some soapy water and a flat tip screwdriver. Insert screwdriver between grip and bar putting soapy water in and twist. May have to do it in a couple spots to get it to release, but it will come off. Then when installing back on (the grip), use water and dip grip and push back on. It will twist and come off till water evaporates, but will stay on after that. Be careful till it evaporates. I was very pleased to have the extra height and would recommend it. It solved my back pain from being so bent over. Enjoy.

It's a very tight fit. We sort of wiggled side to side and slid forward as we did that and it just worked itself in, but it was a little bit. My co-worker has stronger hands than me and got it. Know that's not much but hope it helps.

It has to b used all together. The purple part will grip ur hand good and not slip out. I have been very happy with mine.

Yes, mine loosened up after a few days of use. As for using the pliers with one hand it does take some getting use to. I usually doldrums the pliers horizontally holding the top handle in between by thumb and palm and let the weight of the bottom handle open up the pliers then use as normal after wards.

The only way I can think of to lock them in to prevent theft of the grippers themselves would be to run some round-stock (metal bar) through the hole in the tightening handles and drill holes for locks on each end of the bar. That would prevent a thief from being able to unscrew them once they are tightened.
