I Use the Smoothing tool for work. Have been using the Hyde Smoothing tool for 30 years. They changed the design and plastic composite for some reason.
Not a big fan of the new design or material. Went to the hyde website to see if I could order the old model . the website Had shown the old style so I purchased 20 of them but when my order arrived they were the new style Guess I have to change with the times. Like the tool but liked the old style better
