Not Gold?   Okay, it is Beryllium,  non sparking metal tools.   Look up how toxic this stuff is when powdered!  Yikes.  I have seen a wrench,  on occasion, but here is a whole set of half inch sockets, in a non sparking brass box.    I would have bought it  if there was room on my wall, tool box, work bench, or floor.   I think it will be a long time before I see another set of these, yes?

If you saw what a set of non sparking sockets cost, you might think gold was a better deal ;P

I have never encountered these for sale anywhere, new.   What is a ball park figure for these fine items?

After looking for  tools made from Beryllium Copper I did find this company who sell such tools,  a set of 1/2" sockets run around (are you setting down) $1700,  here is the link.  http://www.ngkmetals.com/index.cfm/m/59/fuseaction/store6Catalog.oneCategory/Sockets

Wow!! So just under $100.00 a piece with P&H..

Years ago I had a set that i bought at a garage sale. The sockets were in a cigar box with a price of $2.00 for about a dozen sockets. I thought what a killer deal. Got home and discovered they were Whitworth sized. Sold them on eBay for about $10.00 and thought i made a killing.
