Default New-Snap On instinct screwdrivers

Does anyone have these new Snap On “instinct” screwdrivers with the updated handle shape? I want to buy a set of their screw drivers but I have only used the older handles. Any comments or opinions on how well they work/fit would be great. Thanks

I got a set not too long ago. The handles are more comfortable then you expect. I had a set of the old handles and they were nice too but I like the new handles. There pretty damn durable too, I have hit them on plenty of things and just put scratches in them, hit them with hammers also and still holding up.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have the soft or hard handles?

I have the soft handle set... the only problem is they get dirty really quick as compared to the hard handle set.

Well sounds like the handle shape is comfortable so maybe I will just try the hard handle set.

Did they keep the ACR tips on the Philips screwdrivers? That was the deal breaker for me when I went to Snap On....

I work on Heavy Equipment(100 ton haul trucks and wheel loaders) and these screwdrivers have not let me down yet.The handles even hold up to brake clean and dont fade.
