I mean its a tool and i work in a machine shop so my 3/8ths drive ratchet gets daily use the scratches are not the biggest deal I got it as a backup to my craftsman long handle((CMMT99427), for me its convenient to have a 1/4 hex socket on a long ratchet all the time i use it to change tools and multiple times a day the long handle makes sure I don't need a cheater pipe everytime i use it, I wanted an extra i could leave a long 1/4 on, the quick release version is impossible to find and double the cost feels solid and if i break it for my uses something has gone horribly wrong.
