For use in electrical environments, is my only guess. Just don't put your other hand on the head to get more leverage.
Or, protection for freshly painted body panels.

Early Snap-on insulated ratchet, before they started making full composite insulated ratchets.

That cover is like a plastic.

Odd. My friend has a few VDE tools (ratchets/sockets/extension) that have that same finish except in red. It's like a hard plastic insulation with a PVC coating. Maybe this one has just been PVC dipped?

It is a ratchet condom. It keeps them from multiplying in the tool box when you are not looking. Nothing worse than sticky tools... :lol_hitti

[Moose-LandTran]

I wouldn't mind my ratchets multiplying..

I wouldn't mind my ratchets multiplying..

As long as they're not sticky, right?:spit:

Yea, but how then heck would he be able to polish it then? And what about that nice Snappy shine? No bling bling? :wtf:

Since it is a relatively newer sealed head ratchet, I'm thinking probably a do it yourself coating or shrink fit covering.

[wrenchr]

That dip it crap.

nothing a razor blade wouldn't fix

nothing a razor blade wouldn't fix

Would this then be called a circumcised ratchet???????:lol_hitti
