Not to be a heretic, but since RLE broached the subject, I'll pile on: Ritter once mentioned that professional quality wrenches just "felt good" in your hand, and the ergonomics, if properly done, essentially made the tool an extension of your body.
When I first heard him say this, I figured he was having a flashback from his days in San Francisco. A few weeks later I got my first Hazet wrench. Holy mother of pearl! That wrench was like a fine piece of machinery the way it fit my hand and worked the fasteners when I used it. I never bought a cheap wrench after that, and I don't regret spending big $$ for good ones.
