I have the same problem, especially with my various handheld pruners. Most if not all of them have black handles. Rather 'had' black handles. For 1 whole dollar I bought some very bright yellow fingernail polish. I put a big blob of it on both sides of the handles. Wow! Makes a big difference. Have to reapply from time to time but still worth it. However, I have not done this with my Cobrahead. Hope I won't need to.
