The handle is actually a trapezoidal shape so gives you stability when gripping it. I haven't had issues with it "rolling" as you suggested. I am a contractor and use it daily. It's the only tool I need to bring on the roof for shingle repairs, and is great on my demo jobs, where there's boards getting pry out, knocked loose, and nails pounded down.

As it is this product would only end up with more smashed knuckles when using force and it twists, ramming your knuckles into whatever you're prying.
