Two Options and the Pros & Cons of Each:

Dip-Coated Handle (700 016 3 RT)

• Softer, more cushioned feel. Conforms more naturally to your grip.
• May wear down faster over time, especially in harsh working conditions.
• For precise work, these offer a more comfortable and less fatiguing experience.
• Slightly more affordable due to the simpler manufacturing process. 

Reinforced Plastic Grips (700 016 36 RT)

• More rigid and durable, providing a firmer grip for those that prefer more control.
• More resistant to chemicals, oils, and extreme weather
• Firmer hold allows for application of greater force without slipping
• Higher price due to enchanced durability and design.

Really the choice comes down to comfort, durability, and the specific working conditions of the user. Either way, both are going to provide for a clean and easy cut.
