haven't touched a car with one of those since one was abandoned at my grandparents motel in 1959. All I remember is that my grand dad said he knew more guys who busted their wrists using a crank starter than in football and boxing combined. He showed me how to avoid ending up with a broken wrist if I ever used one. Kinda the same theory of pulling a prop thru with your open hand and not closed fingers lest you loose them if the blade kicks back.
Photo from www.abarnyard.com. Never push down, do pull up. One hand not two, notice the thumb is tucked under the handle to keep from breaking the thumb or wrist if it kicks back.
