B/c its a bit soft to grip, offers great friction and isolates a bit from the metal bar.
Because if the handles were just metal, then the handles would get much hotter much faster than a rubber handle would. -Julie
For safety reasons. For example, without the rubber, the metal part of the utensil could get hot which could burn the person using the utensil. It also protects from electrical shock.
Pliers are made of steel and as such will conduct heat -and electricity! However pliers whose handles are covered with rubber or plastic sleeves will be insulated against heat.

Bicycle brake handles are typically made from materials such as aluminum, plastic, or composite materials. Aluminum is favored for its strength and lightweight properties, while plastic handles are often used for their cost-effectiveness and ease of manufacturing. Composite materials may also be used for high-end bikes, providing a balance of durability and weight savings. Additionally, some brake handles feature rubber or ergonomic grips for enhanced comfort and control.
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic
To clean and maintain bike rubber handles for longevity and performance, regularly wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the rubber. Apply a small amount of mild soap or rubber-specific cleaner if needed. Inspect handles for wear and tear, and replace if necessary to prevent accidents.
