red handled craftsman scraper - do they smell?

[steelespeed]

we all know the standard craftsman handles stink like crazy over time, but do the red handled items stink as well? specifically, the prybars and the scrapers.

for that matter, how about the green hard handled SK stuff?

i am replacing some old stuff, and i don't want to get new tools that end up making my toolbox smell like a bucket of puke.

thanks guys.

Nope - I have lots of those red-handled tools and no smell! They hold up quite nicely, too.

No smell on any of the red handled stuff I got (Craftsman) ..

The sk suregrip handles don't smell either.

I guess it depends on what your'e scraping.

I have had the three piece scraper set for about a year now and they don't stink imo.

I have the prybars and scrapers, no smell. I wish they had regular screwdrivers with these handles.

The regular screwdriver handles are made of wood cellouse or acetate, I for get which.

I've also got some screwdrivers that stink.
This guy seems to think it could be because they use recycled milk containers to make the handles?

I have the red handled pry bars in the 3-piece set as well as a larger single (31") model that I bought open stock. Neither one has any odor to it at all. I've seen the scrapers you're asking about and they appear to be identical handles, so I doubt that they stink either.

I like the smell of the Cman screwdriver handles.

At home I have the red handled craftsman prybars and the sk screwdrivers none of them stink so far, the craftsmans ive only had for 5 years or so but the s-ks were purchased for me as a young pup about 15 years ago.
