Has anyone used or even seen one of these? Apparently claims to wrench bolts ranging from 7 to 19 mm and everything in between (SAE). I'm curious to as to how it operates and how well.

I have seen similar out here but never used one.

My father has one as well.

Interested in the feed back

My wife bought me one years ago. It's still in my tool box (I don't know why) it is the most useless tool I think I own. But let me think on that one. I think the ratcheting screw driver is pretty bad also. There must be more?

These were claimed to be able to take off locking wheel nuts years ago...

Fantastic..."Why Woody throw away all your old rusty junk sockets and buy that one socket to replace them, why it goes right next to that dog bone tool after you throw away all your old rusty wrenches"...

As quoted by Mrs. Woody at the dinner table.

I picked up the Menards version a while back for $2, actually worked well last weekend taking off a small wingnut on my table saw. Difference in mine versus the gator is the pins on mine are hexagonal and not round, so I think a little more stout.

The price on the Wiha website is 46 Euros, that's well over $50!

I have a Gator Grip and it has very limited utility.....I used it to remove a bunch of strange shape cap nuts using a cordless screwdriver. I got my Gator Grip in a box full of tools I bought at a garage sale for a few bucks.

My Gator Grip is hex and USA made. as mentioned wingnuts, hooks, misc **** are really its strong suit.

Think I paid a buck for mine from walmart or maybe advance. yes its a gimmick but I kind of feel like it makes the misc homeowner **** easier so its worth the money. HF still sells them though I don't know how much.

I can't imagine what I would use it for.

Did no one notice that Wiha made it or put their name on it?

I forgot about that one. My wife bought me one of those too. So I didn't have to get her to hold the dumb end.

There's a small one and large one in my box at work, my guys have used it many times on random things. Mower decks, ag implements eye. bolts... To name a few.
It's the gator grip brand if it matters.
