Woman discovers 'proper' use for grab handles inside car and is left amazed

A woman was left amazed after discovering one use for grab handles inside cars.

The TikTok user, known on the social media platform as Jess, has gained over 250,000 followers for sharing videos detailing "things you might not know".

These have included things such as the purpose of different colour toothbrush bristles, and advice on how to get out juice stains.

The latest video, revealing the purpose of the handles above the doors on the inside of a car, has gone viral — with over 1.4 million views.

As reported by The Mirror, the clip starts out with a person pulling on one of the handles, before flipping down a small catch on the inside.

This holds the handle in position, which makes hanging things onto it considerably easier.

Jess, visibly stunned, then proceeds to rush to her car to check if it works — and it does.

While the trick may not work on every car, it's worth checking yours if you're looking for more space to hang things in your vehicle.

Since being uploaded, the clip has attracted over 107,000 likes and around 1,800 comments from TikTok users who were also surprised.

One wrote: "THE THINGS TIKTOK TEACHES ME KNOWS NO BOUNDS."

A second posted: "What the heck?!? 42 years of my existence!"

A third shared: "Why don't these things come with instructions!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh my life!!!!"

However, others were left confused by the TikTok, with one stating: "I didn’t know you could do this. Genuinely curious though. What do you use this for? I feel like I’m missing something."
