    I know it has been talked about before, but I gave one a try today and liked it quite a bit. I usually use a yellow foam applicator to apply sealants but Autozone was out so I decided to give the Handi-Grip a try. With the yellow applicators I`ve often wondered if I were pressing down too hard to prevent dropping it and increasing the chances of marring the paint. This wasn`t a worry with the Handi-Grip. Being able to grip it by the handle allowed me to use almost no pressure at all, just enough to get the product on the paint which I really liked. If you`ve thought about trying one before give it a shot.

    I need a handi-grip mf app! The Sonus MF apps are nice, but the handi-grips are even easier for my bear paws to hang on to!

    I used one today. You definitely get a more even application with it, no more potential marring from your fingertips pressing through the foam pads.

    how sturdy are they?!? I understand they are all foam -- is the handle part attached well? (I can just imagine foam ripping off)



    Also, has anybody tried the Wolfgang/Pinnacle Polishin` Pals?
