Is this the N Version? I don't want the N. Why did they change the Handle?

Sorry--have no clue. I didn't know I was getting it till it came, and it's fine, though not a match for others I have.

Hi 1217topher, The main difference between the two is the color, and how the handle is designed. Function-wise, they'll be the same.

The handle dimensions are the same. The Prodigy Tanto handle appears shorter because of the two tone color. I have both versions, and even up close you can be fooled by it. It's an optical illusion.

Hi. The only handle on it is the one you see in the photo. Overall, it's a nice item.

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

The new one has a better handle and swiffer head. It does not flip and I find the lengthof staff with a comfortable knob to hold onto makes it so much easier to use in odd places. Good luck with a new one.

The one that I have does not fit the older models. I was kind of upset when I found this out being they cost so much money. The shape of the end of the handle is a little different. One is round and the other has kind of a triangle shape. Unless of course you don't have the same kind as I have. Mine is a Rotadent Plus Zila. I'm not really crazy about it, but then I don't think there are too many things made as dependable as they were a few years ago.

I have this handle as well add the Weber handle and the ikon handle is larger. So I'm pretty sure that this is the new version.

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

This one is more heavy duty than the Amazon version. Amazon sells a different handle.

I bought mine in November, and they have the T-handle. The knurled knob should be fine (maybe even better); the "T" is a little long, and in comes really close to touching the body of the clamp. So tightening the T can be a little tricky trying to keep your fingers out of the way while you turn the handle.

I took a look at mine and it looks like the handle could be removed, however, I have never removed it and have not had a reason to yet.

Sadly, this turned out to be the 50250s rather than the "-n" which I'd expected it to be based on the vendor's description. IMHO: The 50250 in any form is a great unit, though, so I did not return it despite the expected increased maintenance cost of the "-s". I still want the "-n", but have given up hope of buying it online. Unless I see an "-n' unit box first-hand, I'll now expect any purchase of this unit online to turn out to be the '-s".

I just received mine in the mail last night and it too says 40520 instead of 47520. I was disappointed that there is no Forschner logo/blade and doesn't say Fibrox on the handle. I haven't used it yet. I think I will email Amazon today.

The one that I received was the old style, flat/smooth bottom, no handles. I do not know what they are shipping these data because everywhere you look it is the newer style.

I just ordered this one and I received the newer model. It has a wider handle, fill line markers, narrower spout, polished outside, not shiny on the inside. Works great!!! I love this item.

Oh, and I just noticed the rear handle is different. It looks like the trigger is longer, so it might be easier to hold in the ON position?
