I don't know what Mad Ivan's talking about; the wrench looks horrible.

*1* Why is it so pointy?
*2* The grip is way too short. It should be about half the length of the shaft (or whatever you want to call that.. the "lever arm" maybe?)
*3* The grip should NOT be rubber; it should just be metal with a grippy texture. Even today, most wrenches have metal grips rather than rubber, and RenAlert is supposed to be set decades ago. Also, during wartimes, rubber is a VERY important commodity, so I find it incredibly unrealistic that it would be wasted on a wrench grip.
*4* Most socket wrenches have a raised section at the socket end so you can grab onto it and turn it (which reverses the direction of ratcheting) -- see the following website for a picture: http://www.shoppingforever.com/gatorgrip.htm

I do have one positive thing to say though: I like the way the GM Goodwrench logo turned out.

EDIT: You can also pretty clearly see what I meant by a "textured metal grip" in the first picture on that website.
