English term or phrase: handles
It takes 12 pounds of effort to cut a sheet of metal with a pair of tin snips when the metal to be cut is 2 inches from the pivot point and the handles are 10 inches long. What is the resistance of the metal?

Estimados amigos, reciban un cordial saludo. Me encuentro realizando una traducción sobre máquinas básicas. Dentro del tema de las palancas tengo un ejemplo sobre el corte con tijeras para hojalata. Las tijeras tiene una dimensión determinada de "handles". Les pido alguna sugerencia sobre un termino bastante común para "handles" en español. En Ecuador solemos llamarlas patas, estribos o jaladeras. Les agradecería muchisimo si me dan alguna sugerencia que exprese "handles" de una forma mas cotidiana... más universal.

Mil gracias!!!!
