Wiha Soft Grip Wrench??

[benny27]

I was looking around on amazon and found that wiha has a soft grip wrench.
Are they any good?
I thought they may be nice for in the winter bear hand on a cold wrench *****.

It would be cheaper to just buy a pair of mechanix work gloves and use the wrenches you already have.

I do have a few sets of gloves and I just do not like working with them that much.

Never knew Bears had hands, just being a smart *** as I know it meant to be bare.

I don't see the appeal. I always have the other end in my hand. I don't grab the center much.

I grabbed a 9/16 Wiha Soft Grip Wrench and used it here in the shop the other day while working on some NPT Fittings. I don't personally have any in my box but it made me think about adding them. They are very smooth so its seems like they would clean up easily but I was hoping someone could let us know how the soft finish part holds up over time. Has anyone used them? The other thing I really like it that its very easy to see what size the wrench is with that white Red or white on yellow writing.

If they are from Heyco then they are topnotch.

Yes they are Heyco Wrenches rebranded for Wiha. How does the soft grip section hold up over time?

These wrenches are not sold in the EU....
