Worst Tool Ever...

[Banjorear]

Don't have a picture, but how about that one size fits all socket? The one with the rods in it? I think it was called the gator or something like that.

Ranks right up there with the "Pre-broken drill bit set" my son got me one year for Christmas.

I don't like gimmick tools.

Gee... I was going to see about getting you the whole set.

The Gator Grip Socket is actually a "made in USA" tool. How bad can it be?

I have one that was in a box of stuff from a garage sale. It's missing all of it's pins.

These tools are so funny hard to reach hammer made me laugh. I still think the hand crescent wrench is awesome though.

 

[defektes]

That thing would be great to keep my Pein upright.


Hammer of course.

I'd get one and hang it in the shop--great conversation piece... just like the King **** 3/8-drive ratchet I've got. It's just sitting on the pegboard above the vise table, and about once every 9-12 months, someone notices it, and it's good for a chuckle.

I think it's an ancient Starrett Caliper.

 

[ilovevocs]

it looks more like a photoshop creation than a real "tool"...

I like this one. Even at the 'regular price' of 44.95 for a complete tool kit this is a steal!!!

I'm not sure how that hammer head works, if it is specially designed to smash your fingers when you use it, or if it somehow attaches to a better location on the 'tool'.

it might be sold in a smoke shop next to the alligator clips.

 

[HandsomeDan]

I have one of these minus the legs. Lol. My buddy says its an old railroad wrench but idk if that's its real name.

I think some people call them bike wrenches, too. I have a couple.

 

[sharpe427]

I think the 'extra hand' is for..uh....; shall we say personal itching problems!?!

 

[LordPsychon]

I'd use that finger wrench over this one any day of the week.

.

Yeah, has anyone got one of those bionic wrenches to actually work?

 

[pendragon1998]

I'd post a photo of my mother-in-law, but you'd go blind.

You should have posted that under "what is it for?"

 

[zakmartin]

That beautiful cast bronze adjustable wrench that's shaped like a hand is art, not a tool, so it shouldn't be judged as such (meaning, as a tool... lol)

Worst tool? Well, there's this guy I used to work with, never trust him, he would screw up a ********* (twice), you didn't want to give him keys to anything that you didn't want in the shop later that day, would play one employee off against the other, he'd walk all over anyone below him on the food chain (with hob nailed vibrams), cut the throat of anyone he worked with (and shake your hand and smile at you all the time), and he'd brown nose the people on the chain above him so much and so bad his nickname was either Kiwi (and not the NZ type) or Mr. Shinola...

That guy... he's my candidate for Worst "Tool" ever.

Ryan: funny because i just saved that picture off a thread maybe in Free Parking a few days ago. i don't know if it's a good tool for any job, but thought it would look cool on the pegboard or wall.

i'll try to remember what thread i found it on if you can't google it and here's the pictures i saved which might be the same. or maybe the member that posted it will see this thread to give us more information.

not sure if it's the worst tool ever but it's different that is for sure.

I'm he one that original posted in WTF if I remember. I have no idea of the origins, but I think it is cool.

 

[softailgarage]

The thing is kinda creepy if you ask me. Keep waiting fer the fingers to move.

 

[bent64]

Nuff said.

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

robo wrench/robo pliers...

 

[The DIY Hubby]

I would pull that out when someone asks me to "give them a hand" to work on something.

Good idea!

robo wrench/robo pliers...

I have a set of craftsman robo-grip pliers and they work like a charm, never had an issue and they've been through the ringer

For when you only want the fasteners "finger tight"

My dad once bought me a battery operated Black n Decker tape measure. Push the button and it feeds out. Retracts like normal. And it was HUGE. Too big to use in an everyday situation. It was a product searching for a market.

I have a 22 gage sheet metal cutout of my hand. I keep it in my toolbag, in case someone "needs a hand."
