I’m not entirely sure I like these new dual density grips that seem to have become popular these days. If I had to say I had a favorite grip cover, I would say the regular covering that Knipex puts on their pliers is my favorite,. It has a little coarser texture than the plastisol the other tools that I am familiar with have. I have a set of the Klein Journeyman pliers and cutters with their cushioned covers, and they seem to be holding up pretty well. So, I was wondering what your take on pliers handle covers?
I don’t care for the fancy grips like the Channellock Code Blue has. To me they give the tool an awkward feel. I prefer the standard rubber coating myself.
