Abstract: Improvements in a carrying handle cushion for a wire to provide a handle or grip for a wire handle of a bucket to increase the tactile surface area. The grip uses two gates on opposite sides of the handle where the wire handle (from the bucket) passes through the grip. The wire passes through a one-way lock that retains the handle to prevent the grip from being accidentally dislodged from the bucket wire. Lifting the handle on the wire will engage the handle using only the weight of a filled bucket. While a low amount of force can be applied to engage the grip onto the wire, the handle is not removed with an inverse force. Upon engagement of the grip there is an audible and tactile indication that the grip has been completely engaged on to the bucket wire.
