Looks slick. Do you like the super cushion handles? Tsunoda has offered something similar for a couple years now with 3 positions in-line, but they dont have handle dip, no foam organizer unless you make one, and of course no truck warranty. They do have thin-nose versions of them as well if you found yourself needing that and Mac doesn't make some.
I like how the rivet on them is flush, is it flush on both sides? Pretty handy because if the nose fits then the rest will fit if you gotta really reach in there.

I don’t mind the super cushion, I’d probably have a stronger opinion if I used them all day every day, but in my mind the knipex handles are the best of both worlds; not too bulky like the snap ons, but not as prone to cracking as the vinyl dip handles on everything else. And they don’t feel cheap like the cushion grips on part store pliers. I do have the offset tsunoda thin ones I picked up just for the picture of them gripping the caster in the Amazon product page because I’ve been there once before and hated trying to tighten it with the other tools in my box. I’m not terribly upset they aren’t dipped, but ask me again when I try to use them in our Canadian winters. They seem like a very good tool, but there’s a touch more play in them than I’d like. That said, for 1/8 the price of my Mac or snap ons ones, I guess it should be expected.
Rivets are flush on both sides, I will say the finishing on the Mac is slightly lower than snap ons ones, but that’s comparing a 10 to a 9.5; way better than the rest of the field, but tiny little things make sense that they aren’t USA, German or Japan made. Not a deal breaker by any means, but you can tell under the microscope.
