Question 1

Can I travel on the highway with my Handy Flag up?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Handy Flag is double stitched and made of a durable Rip-Stop Nylon material. However, we do reccomended stowing your flag during extended periods of high-speed travel because it will wear your flag out very quickly.  We recommend stowing it at speeds over 65 mph for the longest service life.

Question 2

How is the flag attached to the whip?

Accepted Answer

The flag slips over the pole and is attached to an anchor point on the pole using a zip-tie.  This way you can easily replace or swap between flags by snipping the zip tie, sliding on your new flag and attaching it to the anchor with a new zip-tie.

Question 3

Will the Handy Flag bend out of the way of low hanging branches?

Accepted Answer

Our flag whip is made from premium materials that allow the whip to be strong enough to not break at high speeds, but flexible enough to bend out of the way when needed. This gives piece of mind that the ocasional low hanging branch will not snap your whip.
 
However, if your flag is mounted too high, on the roof for example, you are much more likely to break the pole by going under a branch, tunnel, or pulling into your garage.

If you are traversing heavily wooded areas where low hanging branches are frequent it is recommended you remove the whip. 
 
Do not keep your flag whip connected through an automatic car wash. 
 
If you have any questions about your particular use case, please feel free to contact us!

Question 4

Can I shorten the pole?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Here are the instructions for shortening the pole by taking out a section: First, pull out the aluminum tip at the top of the pole, cut the cord and remove two sections. Then, feed the cord back through the section that has the flag. Lastly, pull the cord somewhat tight and tie it back to the tip. A clamp or another set of hands to hold the cord while you tie it makes this much easier.

Question 5

Do you make custom flags?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do offer custom flags. If you'd like to order, there has to be 100 flags minimum for us to be able to place that order. Send us a message at info@handyflag.com to get started.

Question 6

Can I use my own flag with my Handy Flag whip?

Accepted Answer

Yes but only if it is the same size or smaller than the flag provided with the HandyFlag.  We do not recommend using larger flags because the load on the flag pole at higher speed increases exponentially with the size of the flag.
