handle vs deal with

[Polyester]

Are any differences between two sentences?

I can handle this case.

I can deal with this case.

To deal with a problem or task is to take action on it, without assurance of success, but to be able to handle something goes one step further - to able to manage it or deal with it successfully to produce results.

Actually, to me they mean the same thing: I can handle it. I can deal with it. I can manage it. I can take care of it. I'm capable of taking responsibility for it. I don't need any help.

I agree with Charlie, and I'd say 'Are there any differences between the two sentences below?'

Typically, you can expert to hear:

I can handle this.
