Hi, there are the Wiha Soft Finish Grip and the Wiha Micro Finish Grip.
The Micro Finish Grip is more Oil resistent and easier to clean. I
have the Torx ones.
That's normal. I have several Models from Berner, ie that one, that
happens to all after a short while. Made in Germany Stuff is marked
as "Made in Germany" in the Catalog.
