If you hold these things in your hands for hours, you're going to be pretty picky about feel and function. I got the old black and gray model which I preferred but the head is made out of harder plastic than I was hoping for. I was trying to find a replacement for an old Husky I bought about 10 years ago. The balance feels a bit off and the grip is uncomfortable. New "improved" orange ones are a dime a dozen, very robust and not quite right.
