We’re talking HANDLES here! Long handles, short handles, how do you decide? Our customers are split on their preferences.
Customers are split 50/50 about which style they prefer: longer handles or shorter, standard handles. Often, if your hands are larger, you will prefer the longer handle version, and if your hands are smaller, you will prefer standard handles. However, it really is a matter of personal preference! Some customers even have both options in their tool kits. Can’t decide? below are some benefits to either choice and can help break it down for you.
Standard/Shorter Handles:
Lighter weight
Fit well into small hands
Are smaller to pack for storage or traveling
Can sometimes feel “closer” to the work and can feel like you have more control
Cost slightly less than Tronex longer handle tools
Longer, Ergonomic Handles:
Can get 4 fingers on the handles for more leverage
Usually feel more comfortable in larger hands
Length prevents the end of the handle from hitting pressure points in the palm of the hand
Can ease pressure over the length of the handle resulting in less strain on the hand
*Tips:
Most Tronex tools are available in both versions
Model numbers starting with a “5” are standard handles, model numbers starting with a “7” are longer, ergonomic handles
Longer handle tools are 1 inch longer than shorter handle tools
Tronex Longer handle tools are cost only slightly more than standard handle tools.
