Seems to me I remember GC (General Cement?) or somebody selling "grips" that 
you could put on plier handles that were like that -- they came in a bottle 
of fluid,  which always struck me as being a little strange...

Then again,  I have a pair of big old pliers that used to belong to my father 
that have a serious layer of "friction" tape over both handles.  It's just 
starting to give a little bit on the bottom of one of them so I should 
probably throw some heatshrink over it.   :-)
