I’m always skeptical of the “as-seen-on-tv” products. Too many great ideas seem to be junk cleverly marketed. I don’t do much mechanical work so my socket collection is basic. The GatorGrip idea seemed great but I didn’t buy it for a while due to being skeptical. Finally picked one up for about $15 and am very pleased. My thought was that the “retracting” pins would fail when a lot of torque is required. In short, they do not do a very good job on tough nuts. On typical fasteners that aren’t stubborn, it works as advertised. I recently had to take apart a lawnmower for repair and that involved 4 different sized hex nuts. The Gator got them all. Biggest flaw is that the grip is large in diameter (to make it more diverse) and doesn’t get into confined areas well. -- Jeff, South Carolina |
