My EGO lawn mower has 2 self-propel buttons that are way too easy to "trigger" when pivoting the lawn mower. Creature of habit that I am, I always turn/pivot the lawn mower using my right hand. On numerous occasions I have hit the self-propel switch, causing the mower to motivate when I don't want it to. So I devised a solution. The one shown is the 2nd iteration; the handle shape is not symmetric. While nothing fancy, it exceeded my expectations. I left the button for the left hand unguarded, as I still need to use the self-propel feature for one particular portion of the yard. BTW: the Hatchbox green is simply a pleasant coincidence.
