Well, I could probably find one that's nickel
plated. Would that look less awful?


Ha ha, no, I mean the image with the crowfoot
wrench, the extender bar (?) and the ratchet,
it just looks grotesque, like a bird with
a cat's head or something... (and not in a nice
way if you happen to be an ornithologist as
well as cat person)


Looks good to me:

hinged ratchet box


Indeed.


Well, you could also make your own wrenches. The technique would be
similar to making your own knife. Buy a bar of heat treatable steel
that's the correct thickness:

Trim to shape with either a band saw or angle grinder. Refine the
shape with an angle grinder, belt sander or hand file. Make a fancy
wooden handle in the same manner as a custom knife. Harden and anneal
the wrench. Clean up the slag, oil the wooden handle, make YouTube
video, and you're done.
