Gripping wheel woolies.
So I purchased 1 of these ( moneys to tight to buy set of 3) I'm having a problem with gripping this thing when it gets wet. Anyone have similar issues with some solutions please. Thanks Steve

Re: Gripping wheel woolies.
I don't, but I am usually wearing nitrile gloves perhaps that helps.
You could always get some tennis racket grip tape or similar tape to help with your grip.

It should help. It's designed to grip even with sweaty hands.

Yes, i agree. One of my neighbors is an intense racketball player and recently got some of that racket grip tape to combat his sweaty hands. He loves the stuff so i bet it would work for wet hands from washing wheels!

Hmm, thats interesting. I have never noticed an issue gripping my wheel woolie.
However, everyone above is correct, any racket over grip will work.
I am also thinking you could try dipping it in plastidip to give the handle a rubberized coating.

Re: Gripping wheel woolies.
I've been thinking about this too, although as JSF says, the gloves help, from an ergonomic standpoint the handles are too small a diameter, too round and too slippery. I understand they are that way as part of the production process.
I'm looking for some sort of slip-on tool grip right now but it's driving me bananas.

Re: Gripping wheel woolies.
What are you cleaning your wheels with?
What I have found is when i use regular car soap to clean wheels ( no gloves) i have grip. But when I clean a dirty wheel and I use a certain CG cleaner, it gets a little slimy and I have no grip unless I wear the gloves.
Should be using gloves anyway, as they say if its on you its in you.
