[AT] polished tools a real pain

[Stuart Harner]

Pain:
Sometimes slippery
Often reflect light right into my eyes, especially sunlight
Some are so thin that when putting a lot of force on the tool it actually
hurts

Good side:
They clean up REALLY nice before you put them back in the tool box. This
keeps your hands and everything else you touch clean.
Some fit my hands really well and are a pleasure to use.
Some of them seem to take dings and bangs with less damage than older
non-chromed wrenches.

I don't have arthritis. (so far)  :)
I don't have 3 elbows when needed   :(
Nothing works as well as it used to, or at least as well as I think is
should.....

Maybe I am just experiencing this due to getting older and my hands don't
work like they should.  These polished chrome fancy tool handles are a real
PITA when in a cramped spot trying to work blind and with a little oil on my
hands. When I was working on my wife's car, I think I could have done it in
1/2 the time if I had a ratchet or wrench that I could hold on to.  Even
plain wrenches have so much polish on them it is hard to hold on.  I just
ordered a couple of rolls of friction tape for the next time..  Do you guys
have the same problem, or is it just Arthritis?
