Whoever owns one of these takes his or her work seriously and is very optimistic. Each fastener would be lovingly torqued to perfection. I love quality and this shows the tool of the trade has perfection in mind. Great stuff! Fantastic tool! Whoever owns one of these takes his or her work seriously and is very optimistic.

This would make a good gift for a tool nut, but if you pick it up cheap, you can look like a real snob using a gold plated ratchet and not feel bad about it either.

It's meant as a GIFT, friends, which means you buy it for someone else. And that's exactly why I bought it: As a gift to my father, who fed us for decades rebuilding aircraft engines using common hand tools, and is retiring next month. Be assured he's getting more than just a 'measly ratchet' for his birthday/retirement present. That's how much we care about family. Sounds like your families are a little lacking in mutual care...

Not just the Craftsman ones, I had a Mac dealer several years ago that had everything from gold plated ratchets to spark plug sockets on his truck. I suppose they would look cool in a gas pump display case. I’ve always wondered who buys these gold plated tools.
