I'm buying some bulk tubing for resistance exercises, but I'm having difficulty in finding padded handles. I'd also like to find some way to attach the tubing to a squat rack (other than tying it). Any thoughts on either item? Thanks!

hot water pipe foam is good. Automotive heater hose is another alternative - giving enough for a softer grip but stiff enough to give a handle. Or water hose if heater hose is too fat.
Is the resistance (pardon the pun) to tying because you want to untie more quickly than the loop-thru would give you? You could always rig up a loop of something like nylon web with a carabiner and then attach your tubing to the connector you have made.

I found handles in a Medco catalog for pretty cheap.
Lisa, yes, you are correct--I want to be able to quickly raise and lower the level at which they are attached. I was thinking of the exact set-up that you described. I am going to tie caribiners to the ends of the tubes opposite the handles. Then have some type of attachment on the squat rack to clip the caribiner. Question tho--if I use a nylon web of some sort how do I attach it to the squat rack?
do you have access to a sewing machine? sewing in a couple of D-rings at the end of nylon web is a simple task if you have the equipment. Other wise you might have to just tie-over a loop.

or you could just do an overhand knot/loop with the carbiner on one end and a d-ring on the other end
