Anyone seen one of these?  It's new to me.

I have two 3/8's drive ones. I know one is Proto and the other I don't remember and I am to lazy to go and look.

I picked up a Cornwell 1/2" drive one a couple weeks ago.  That Snappy one is pretty cool though.

Looks like the previous owner put a little too much torque on it.
Those are common with 1/4" sets, and I have a no-name version with a wooden handle, but making a 1/2" version that would hold up over time would be a bit of a challenge. 
Someone here should make up a Perfect Handle version of it.  Who is it who does that sort of thing?

64longstep/Brian did something similar for me. 1/4" drive on lower left.

Here's an interesting strategy. 
It was listed at $195 but had no takers.
So, like an optimistic American, he relisted.  And he bumped the price by $105!
