Better quality folding sets will have a storage handle made of two types of plastic (referred to as being bi-material), one of which will be a TPR (thermoplastic rubber) that provides a softer, more comfortable feel and better grip.
Some folding hex and Torx key sets now have buttons on the handle that release the folded-out hex key from locked positions of 90, 135 and 180 degrees. This feature enables you to secure the key in position, allowing you to safely apply more force to the handle without the risk of the handle altering position which could lead to grazed knuckles.
