I have never seen a long handle Par-X before. That is drool worthy. Quite a score on that one.

Not the most durable tool around but very different.Here's a side-by of a surprise I found in one Crescent when expecting the other - a rubber-y insert instead of the expected spring. I don't think it's an "aftermarket" upgrade, it looks too refined and finished to have been a replacement by necessity. The pics suck, but the edges are very smooth/finished, and the material is semi-spongy and returns to form immediately after getting compressed.

The sponge was working fine for an old part.Nice stuff guys.
