I personally like giving/receiving presents that are a bit overpriced/superfluous, but extremely nice/useful. I think the Ratcheting box wrenchs fit that category perfectly.
Most mechanical types would see it as a bit to luxurious b/c they can perform the same act w/ a simple set of nice box wrenches. There for, they never buy them. Actually give him a set, and he'll use them all the time, and love them.
Its not cheap for a set though, and its one of those go all out deals. Get the larger sets, and get both SAE and Metric.
Nothings worse for a mech head, then a small/half set of things, then you just never bother with them. you go for the old trusted set you know has the size you need.
Elsewise, If thats a bit to steep a pricetag...
Car related things: Jack Stands.......real car jack (not the wussy little ones)...creeper....
Just my 2 cents.
