I mostly work with 3/8" stuff because it's what I've got, but I recently bought a load of 1/2" sockets (impact and otherwise) to deal with heavier jobs. Problem was that apart for my single Halfords Pro socket driver, a 2.5' breaker bar and my electric torque gun, I didn't really have what I needed.
Now, maybe these things are more common than I know, but I worked with someone (Dan, I think?) who had one and I'm delighted to own one now.

Price: Somewhere between £20-25 depending on supplier. Beware cheaper imitations.
Description: 1/2" drive ratchet with adjustable reach, (305, 330, 360, 390, 420 & 445mm). You can put nearly 400NM torque through it at its shortest length.
Experience: I haven't used this one just yet, but having used one before, I can tell you that this is an extremely valuable tool to have in your arsenal. The build quality is excellent, it has a short throw on the ratchet so it's good for tight spaces, and it gives you big torque options that other handles might not.
