Well, err, actually they are.
You'd never get my Howard 350 in the back of a Ford Fiesta.
For people who have to travel any distance to their allotment and don't want the light-fingered brigade to liberate their most expensive tool from the allotment shed fold-down handles on a diddy rotovator are a good thing.

Perhaps they put it twice because each Mantis has two handles.
