PB SWISS Handle Vs Svelto soap

[Neomys Sapiens]

This just reaffirms my opinion about any of those 'soft grip' tools - I do avoid them when I can.

They really sound like an excellent tool to separate suckers from their money!
They are a bloody screwdriver, for Pete's sake!

This is not directed against PB generally nor is it based on the price level. I totally disliked it when they along with many others started to change a lot of tools from smooth and clear (or opaque) to those amorphous gripping surfaces. I don't like the feel and I don't like the look.

A screwdriver is precisely the kind of tool where a grippy surface like this makes sense. It reduces the amount of force you have to apply to pure squeezing. For stubborn screws it makes a difference.

And Santoprene isn’t the same thing as the cheap rubberized crap that fails after a few years. It’s the stuff used for seals in car door seals and washing machine door gaskets, which last for decades without failing.

And let’s not forget that, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only time I’ve ever heard of issues with the PB Swiss rubberized tools, and I live in the country that doubtless has the highest market penetration of anywhere for that brand. (PB Swiss is what you find in most households and businesses here, it seems to me.)

Which is why they sell various types, with and without rubber grips, in various grip shapes. I like the rubber, you don’t, and yet we can still both be happy.
