I always wonder that it took so long to come up with the palm-grip socket wrench... So handy ! It seems the Canadians at Kipton tools invented it, as a screwdriver aid at first.
Awesome tool reference site here:

The best thing that I've bought in a long while is a wee ratchet handle that takes 1/4" hex bits. D.

If you look closely you can see the 3/8 drive extensions have spinning sleeve grips on them. I don't know if anyone still makes extensions like that anymore, I'd bet the extra materials and production steps would at least double the price of a simple extension.
