I'm really curious about the Wera Joker wrenches... they look pretty cool.

I have some Wera (and Wiha) tools at work (I wouldn't pay for them myself...)
They're...interesting. They look weak, but they're not. They have annoyances like little buttons that lock the little ball detent that keep sockets on...it's nice having a positive lock, but it's annoying having to deal with a lock every time you swap anything. However, they have all sorts of really kick butt design features, that always seem to be useful when I need them to be. Certain extra padding on a handle where you need it, or these sleeves on the ratchet extensions that let you hold it steady then spin the extension between your fingers for speed, all sorts of things. I wouldn't buy them, but I won't turn away if one is offered to me...
