You obviously do not own quality tools. I have $7,000.00 in Snap-On Tools in my basement/garage. All high grade and every one of my ratchet wrenches have rubber grip handles.

First, you may notice that I said "most" do not have rubber grips. I'm well aware that some do.

Second, if you're spending $7,000 on socket wrenches and the like just to get rubber grips on them, that's just plain silly. You can get perfectly good tools for MUCH less money than that. And a rubber grip really doesn't make the tool work any better.

(By the way, I just glanced at the Snap-On Tools website, and their tools appear to be VERY overpriced. $300 for something I can buy somewhere else for less than $40? That's a pretty huge discrepancy.)

FYI, one of my hobbies is auto racing. I was a mechanic for a racing team for many years before I got married.

$300.00 is a very good price for a tool that gets abused and used. Lifetime warranty and they can stand up to almost any kind of abuse you could think of. Drop one of my ratchets and a "$40.00" ratchet from a 3rd floor window to the concrete below. Which one do you think will work afterwards? Wink

Not to mention the fact mine are made in the good ole US of A and in my home state of Wisconsin Wink

Rubber grips are a lot better. Your hands will not slip off if they are wet and you are less likely to rip your palms apart because of slipping. Rubber handles are just as much a safety device as they are for comfort

R.I.P. TreyD. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
