Not sure it is really dumb, but it certainly falls under the category of
worthless.
 
One piece of equipment that I have never understood was the frame grasping
handle. Picking up a frame by the ends of the top bars is completely
natural. On the other hand, how clumsy it is to try to grip these handles
tight so as not drop the frame and at the same time try to look at the
other side of the frame. Any beginner will probably see a great improvement
in the handling skills once they ditch this worthless device.
