The best answer for that is a shop rag or two. Fold them a couple of times, then put that between your hand and the wrench. Really works wonders when trying to untorque a nut that's been rusting onto the bolt it's attached to for over 40 years.

That said, I love Snap-On tools. I had the opportunity to use them regularly in my high school auto shop class (almost 5 years ago now), and have since been spoiled. Due to my financial situation, my personal tool collection is limited and mismatched...but, so far, I've been able to do everything (except time my 6.9l) on both of my diesels myself.
