Over time do the soft grip handles fade, slip or break apart?

Purchased as a gift a year ago. The utensils are used daily, and washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. So far, they look the same as when they were received (no cracking or fading). Also, each utensil is very sturdy....don't bend while in use.

No they don't fade but the handles don't do very well with the heat. over the time the heat melt partially down them.

I have not had this set very long, but so far I can not tell any changes from the ones I use regularly from the ones I only use on occasion. They seem like they will hold up for the long run. I went with Cuisinart because of how they stand behind their products and great customer service.

Have had them for quite a while. They don't fade, slip, or break. They do take up space in the holder and occasionally roll off the spoon rest. Very nice counter appearance with the new industrial look kitchens and stainless steel appliances. I have 4 salt/pepper mills around it that match in appearance and the arrangement looks very nice instead of looking like counter clutter.

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

Mine have not fallen apart yet and I have been using them for about three months now.

The handles appear to be dipped and the coating is smooth to the touch. The coating is not too thick. I have not experienced any problems with the coating slipping or twisting as I have with other clippers

You can tighten up the twist connection on the handle and I have never had a problem with slipping or loosening. My sister borrowed mine to trim her palm trees. She said it done a wonderful job. So good that she hasn't returned them yet.

Mine lasted many months. I've stopped using the walker, but the grips held up.

I bought a pair and they are a really nice set of grips. Perfect fit. The only problem you may encounter is they are thicker. Might be a problem with small hands or reaching the decock lever.

I think it's instantly more tacky than the original leather grip. If you stretch the grip tightly while you're wrapping it over the handle, especially at the start on the butt end where I grip it, it seems to last long enough that I never worry about the cost of replacement. Also if you clean the handle after removing the original grip and let it dry, it seems to stick better. No more overgrips for me.

I've been using mine for a month, and the handles still look brand new. If you did get something on them, it would wipe off easily. Hope that helps!

I have not had any handles break off on mine and I've Carrie it with oil in it.

The handles are slender but I don't have large hands so I can't really tell you. Haven't had any complaints though and other people have used them as well.

Unsure mine are still going strong. It's a great hand held tool, not bulky at all. worth the price for the size of the tool in general.

Have had mine since before Christmas 2013 and they are holding up very well, the arms are flexible so no problems with breakage. The only problem I have seen is with the band that holds the glasses in place tore so they don't work anymore.

My 14yo son put them on his scooter that he rides and does tricks on daily. The handles fall and rub on the ground. The original grips that came with the scooter lasted a week until the rubber caps ripped off and the spongy grip shredded. He has had these new grips for 2-3 months and the grips look new still. My son claims the pros use these. He really likes them.

no, have seen to many with handles that quit working after a couple of months. Have used this for about 6 months and am still pleased with it

me personaly....I would think the spring tensile went by the color of the handles....I took a brand new one with brown handles/grips out of the case ...and pushed it one time and broke the spring....

I've had mine for about three years. I use them daily and travel with them. I keep them in a soft cloth pouch and toss them into my dance bag and haven't had a problem. Only recently did the top of it start to peel off, but it's more from carelessness on my part. The sound, fit, and connections are still perfect. Hope this helps.
