"From a physics perspective, it doesn't actually provide any mechanical advantage: with a standard key, I can provide force on either side of the lever arm, so torque T = (2*F)*d. With their design, I can provide the same force on one side of a lever arm twice as long, T = F*(2*d). Same difference.I get the accessibility benefit though, that's nice."

They have lots of bowling balls that nobody's allowed to use any more (risk of chipping, or the finger holes are already eroded out)"
