Flocking on the handles?! Are you kidding me?! What, is that so the hard plastic won't mark up the lipstick tubes in your purses?
Seriously, do some of you guys even USE your tools? I mean for things other than installing new light switch covers and towel bars. How the hell do you clean grease and oil off of "flocked" screwdriver handles, for flock sakes? What happens when you go in past a sharp edge and tear up the flocking? I bet that has to be as traumatic as getting a favorite dress caught in the car door when it was raining and driving all the way to a nail appointment across town with the hem getting wet and muddy.
Flocked screwdriver handles? Did they at least butch them up a little and make the flocking black or dark red, or are they pink?
There's no place for metrosexuals in the garage. I can understand different shapes for screwdriver handles to transfer power and torque (stand back there, sweetheart, the men are talking about manly things), and so they don't end up giving you blisters from constant use due to sharp edges. I even understood the "soft" plastic handles, though I found them to be useless because every time you'd get them near something sharp they'd tear, and you'd get sharp areas on the handle that needed to be filed down or it'd cut up your hand. But flocked, fuzzy handles in a mechanic's tool box? At that point, those aren't "Tools," they're accessories being matched to a favorite purse and high heals.
