I do wish they would not shiny chrome plate spanners and sockets though. makes they very slippy with oily fingers or gloves.
German brands such as Stahwille, Gedore, Hazet, Elora etc tend to go with a rougher satin finish, I find it grippier with oily hands but still smooth and comfortable.
Some of the Taiwanese stuff is also a satin chrome, although it tends to be a bit slicker.
I'm not really a fan of the bling bling shiny high polish chrome, too slippy in use and if it gets scratched up and well worn it can look terrible.
