What Are These Snap On Screwdriver Handles?

[grizzo]

I saw them in another thread but I cannot find them on the Snap On site. I can only see the comfort grip on the Snap On site which have a large handle that I don't like.

That handle design is the original comfort grip and have been discontinued

Earlier design comfort grip. Maybe 90s - 00s. I think there are a few remaining examples in their lineup, like maybe small picks that have that style handle.

They are the "GRIP" series. I recently acquired a set of torx screwdrivers wth those grips. I believe they were dated from 2003. The grips were beginning to show signs of fading and discoloring, yet were still brand new in sealed package.

A very comfortable screwdriver handle. I still have some. The only drawback to those is they attracted dirt and the handles tended to stay dirty between cuda baths.

Shame these are no longer available. I like them better than the uncomfortably large current handles.

Does anyone know the part number for one of these in a Philips No.2 with a 100mm (4inch) shaft?

 

[gdocktor3]

Play around with these part numbers and you'll find it eventually. Or email Snap On

SGDP301A is a #1 Phillips

Here's a 2 piece set. http://m.ebay.com/itm/201757371033?...101590a60cf3e18ab3ffc2f6a7|iid:12&_mwBanner=1

Grip or older "soft" handles... We have a bunch of them in the shop, but many have been replaced with newer instinct handles during warranty.

Closer to hard-handle shape, not quite as triangular as instincts. Similar in size to hard-handles, some of the larger screwdriver/pick instinct handles are HUGE. Handles covered in soft rubber.

They look like **** if you actually use them, but they are excellent to use.

I really like these screwdrivers. They **** in the sense the look like **** when they get dirty but the design is awesome. They feel really nice in your hand, I have the orange ones.

I have set in cabinet style (super long shank) that came with some promo back when they where a current tool truck offering. I didn't care much for them even back then. I figured the rubber would turn to ****, or at least collect crud and be harder to clean up, if actually used in a shop, so I took 'em home.

I've had some orange handle ones for years, love them

I liked that handle. I actually liked it better than the Instinct handle. But Fedwrench is right, when they get dirty, they stay dirty.
