Good morning to everybody.
So today i'm finally here to make the final conclusions about the "self decomposing" Santoprene® handle of PB SWISS SCREWDRIVERS.
However i need to say the following things before to start this discussion.
PB SWISS screwdrivers are not really defective and the self decomposing process is not caused by the simple agining/passing of the time.
So from this point of view you can be calm,because without the specific condition the self decomposing process couldn't be started. Arrived at this point,without too much words etc .....
i can confirm at 100% that this problem is caused by the ordinary laundry detergent for clothes like :
Dixan,Dexal,Sole etc .....
I'm total 0 in chemistry,so i'm not able to explain you which kind of chemical prosess is happening behind,but as i've observed by my self,if your handle (wet by your own sweat or water) will touch the laundry powder,then you can already say good bye my dear swiss friend.
If you are asking how did i made this discover,then the answer is very simple:
I'm repairing a lot of laundry machines

and yes !
my PB SWISS Screwdriver was in touch with these powder-detergents.
If you won't believe me,then pick up your own PB SWISS Screwdriver and leave it on the top of the laundry powder for 10/15 minutes.
After some days or a month,your soft coating will begin to feels sticky,etc...
THE END.
