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.

No. Just no

Would Not Recommend

It will not grab a hex screw without slipping. I went back to using my regular sockets.

Will NOT work as a traditional deep-well socket!!!

Would Recommend

Will not work on nuts that are threaded deep onto threads, like a traditional deep-well socket.

One Socket Fits All

Would Recommend

One Socket Fits All- Got tired of managing three drawers full of sockets with adapters carry this one in my overalls and it seems to work well with SAE, metric. breaker bars and cup hooks. Gave one to a friend who does auto rebuilding anxious to see what his option will be. He recognized it right away and said hey been thinking about getting one thanks and look its made in America

Can't find inventory

Would Recommend

The product is ok, but it was near impossible to find the product. The location shown on Lowe's website was incorrect and store personnel had no idea where to find it other than to say it is in this area.....somewhere.

Addictive

Would Recommend

As the title says. Using it is addictive. Bolt or just your finger when you have nothing else to do, extremely satisfying

Surprisingly Impressed

Would Recommend

I really thought this would just be one of those as seen on tv type gimmick products but I actually like this and it works great.

The perfect quick socket

Would Recommend

Can't tell you how many times I've brought all the sockets I think I need except for the one I need or I've encountered rounded heads or worn heads and the 9/16 or 7/16 or 10mm just doesn't quite grab hold. Put this in your sockets and there you go. No need to go back and find that one socket your forgot. No need to size up or down because of wear or rounding. Just put it over the nut or bolt head and go to work.

Garbage

Would Not Recommend

Does not work. Tried to use it on an exhaust manifold nut that was starting to round off but still had edges. Didn't even budge and the inside already began to look damaged after 1 use. Don't waste your money. Worst $14 ever spent.
