The comments about the smooth Snap-On handles are my sentiments exactly. I
will never disagree with someone who says that Snap-On tools are top
quality. However, that smooth finish has always seemed like a design flaw
to me. When my hands are greasy, give me my pebbly Craftsman.
On the other hand, for hard pulling I find myself wrapping a rag around the
flattened handle also, as someone else mentioned. Seems to me the handle
was designed wrong by 90 degrees. As in so many other cases, I wonder if
the designers ever actually tested the product they designed.
"Looks good on paper!"
"Okay, send it to production."
