Gold plated ratchet? Lol

[AffableCurmudgeon]

I guess this is perfect for a lot of people here who collect tools, polish them, color coordinate them, brag about them, do everything with them other than actually using them.

If there's a coupon I'll buy one! (well, probably not)

Wow, actually shows in stock at my local store.

Lol, I hope you wrote that. Funny.

 

[darkzero]

Nah, wasn't me. I was curious what the reviews had to say & saw that. I thought it was pretty funny too.

Some prior commentary :

Why an ICON Gold Plated Ratchet?

Ive got a couple of gold plated craftsman ratchets and a set of wrenches, but I would never buy a gold plated HF product..

My Dad's youngest brother was an interesting character. I never met him, one time he stopped on the way through town. At the time he was selling tools, off branded imports. He gave Dad a little 1/4" drive gold socket set and ratchet in a white case. Dad gave it to me, I threw it in a drawer and still have it, need to pull it out and see what the brand it.

ETA SEK is the brand, metric as his brother was from Canada.

Is this for that guy who wanted cheaters for his ratchets that wouldn't scratch them?

Some gold extensions to go with the ratchet???

How does it compare to my gold plated Snap On ratchet?

The gold plating is just as useless...

 

[Renegade1LI]

It's a good gimmick, I have a few CM, I would buy an Icon if the price was right, I think I have a socket set as well.

I was thinking that since it is 100% gold plated, they’d say it had 416% as much gold as the 24k Snap On ratchets.

Is it real gold or gold-colored lead?

 

[APEowner]

Gold plated and still significantly cheaper than Snap-On.

Picked it up at a swap meet 30 years ago, because.....why not?

Here is a couple old Bonney gold-plated socket sets for Chrysler Master Technician Award.

Didn't Liberace have one to tighten his bench nuts?

That set to me means something! I’m assuming you that set?

Those pictures I stole off google. I do have a couple of those gold socket somewhere that came with a handful of "regular" being Bonney Loc-Rite sockets I wanted.

The sets show up on e-bay fairly regularly.....

I saw some gold plated Chrysler Bonney ratchets for sale on ebay along with that driver/socket set.
