Abstract: A selectively attachable bucket handle for a bucket configured to detachably engage with, and accommodate, certain features of a bucket such that the bucket handle is rigidly secured to a bucket, and such that the bucket handle translates a lifting force, applied to the bucket handle, onto a bucket. The bucket handle is also configured to detachably engage with a bucket without preventing a bucket from receiving a lid. The bucket handle is configured to detachably engage with a bucket such that the rest of the bucket handle projects perpendicularly away from a side of a bucket.
