What Customers Are Saying

The product is a versatile tool that can handle a variety of bolt and nut sizes, particularly for removing damaged or oddly-shaped fasteners. However, some users reported issues with the socket not fitting properly or providing insufficient torque for certain applications. There were also a few instances of the socket breaking or becoming damaged after limited use. The consensus is that the product is a useful addition to one's toolbox, but its effectiveness may depend on the specific task and the condition of the fastener, with better results for shallow, lightly-tightened fasteners.

Good item

Would Recommend

Helpful for oddly shaped fasteners, wish the springs that hold the pins were a little more sturdy, but overall it does the job

Saved Me!!!

Would Recommend

I had a square head half inch plumbing plug stuck inside a wall with the corners rounded off. Usually a 5/8's socket will remove them, but this one was brass and worn almost round. I bought the Gator Socket as a hail marry before drilling it out. It worked perfectly, and saved me at least an hour of doing it the hard way!!!!

Had to get used to the difference

Both tools work great and once the batteries were charged they were immediately usable. However, the driver took a bit of getting used to, because it can go REALLY FAST; and at first, I had several screws that went in deeper than expected/planned. Had to force myself to be a little less trigger happy :-). Other than initial testing, I haven't really used the drill yet.

Not a good tool for the project I need help with

Would Not Recommend

This tool did not perform as it was displayed and advertised. I found it to be a waste of my money. It did not help me at the project that I was working on.

Junk!

Would Not Recommend

I didn’t have a 16m socket so I went ahead and give this a shot it ruined the head of the bolt I was working on! Never had a good grip of the head of the bolt, slipped all the time! Not worth buying!

Broke after first use

Would Not Recommend

I tried to get a bolt off my car using this Gator Grip and it broke as soon as I started to loosen the bolt. Not sure if this was a "dud" or "lemon" but I cannot use it anymore. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
