Tempting. I don't have this handle, but Wera tools are some of my favorite.

30.86 after tax here, 'free shipping' with Prime, but arrives in over a week so if Mr Tool has it for faster shipping, the extra dollar may be worth it.

I don't understand what's so great about this. Don't lots of screwdrivers have this, for less, or at least with a lot more bits? I don't even think ratcheting is all that great in a screwdriver.

One of the best ratcheting screwdriver options out there. The little direction change ring is intuitive, and can be used to rotate the shaft using just your thumb & index finger. Really light backdrag compared to most (except for those with roller-based 'ratchet' mechanisms). Relatively small, and fits nicely in the hand.
The only ratcheting screwdriver I own with lighter backdrag is the LTT screwdriver, but it's much bigger, and significantly more expensive.

Wera… It's like saying why does a Porsche cost more then a Hyundai, don't both have 4 wheels and some seats?

Yeah I have a bunch of short bits that go in Kleins and lovely's etc - but no long ones like it appears it takes 123.5mm bits - which not many screwdrivers I've used here in America use

Just the screwdriver - no bits included.
They'll take any standard 1/4" hex drive bits. I use Milwaukee bits in it and the locking chuck works great - you don't have to worry about the bit falling out. A double-sided Philips + flat is what usually lives in mine.
