I’m glad this is over with. This was pretty moronic from the get go. Do a better myth like, ‘how long should I let my car warm up for’, or ‘why is my friend insisting that he’ll get better mileage with 93 in a 1.6L civic’
I always press the button, as it annoys me to hear the clicking of the lever. Also I got used to it while practicing how to drift ;)
I never thought it’s going to break if I don’t push the button, I just dont like to hear that sound.
And all those times when my mom told me not to when she couldn’t even properly shift
I seem to be the only one who likes the sound it makes when you pull it up…
I don’t press the button when dropping the handbrake. I pull it up a tad and push the button. To engage the Handbrake, I push the button and pull up. Hate it when people pull without pressing button
It is so simple, yet performs astoundigly well, it really hurts how simple it is. :) And the durability of this ratchets is really really (I mean really) unbelievable. Small part, maybe 3cm in diameter, withtstanding thousands of kilometers.
a dude at my work had a 09 or so mustang and the teeth wore off, he had a lot of trouble with that car though, prolly a terrible lemon.
the handbrake, in most cars, is a ‘’fly by wire’’ system. this means that the handbrake-lever is directly attached to the wheel-brakes via a wire/cable. Pressing the button allows for the wire/cable to be used with minimum stress-damage by ‘’spreading the load’’ throughout the length of the wire/cable by using a system of pulleys. The cable would be more likely to snap when there is only one stress-point (the point where most of the cable’s strength is concentrated. If there are multiple stress-points, then it means that the load is being distributed evenly throughout the cable, and is less likely to snap. You shorten the life-span of your car’s handbrake-cable severely by not pressing the button. Older cars, which handbrakes ‘’don’t work’’, usually only need to tighten the grip on the cable, since the cable will loosen-up the more it is used.
thats not what fly by wire means
The common pulled handbrake is quite the opposite to fly-by-wire. Also your explanation makes no sense at all. Don’t know if you are trolling or 12.
You don’t know what fky-by-wire is, do you? I don’t even think the push button ebrakes are comepletly “fly-by-wire.”

The flex on your muscles pulling the hand brake… Girl, look at that body. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-KxVjDGGc)
I completely agree with the ratchet noise being 99.999% harmless. There is a similar mechanism in the DT Swiss Hub Ratchet System; https://www.dtswiss.com/Technology/Classic-Hub-technology
