Your WORST tool buy!

Robo-Grips & the Pocket Socket......damn you Bob Villa! x2!!!!

Those pocket sockets are actually handy when used to hold a chisel or punch. Almost zero possibility of wrecking your hand if a hammer blow strays off target when using them like that.

That was a wrench? Damn... I bought one at a garage sale for a quarter, thinking it -was- a chisel or punch holder. THAT they work really good for.

^^^ We have that tool in the shop it makes a great punch holder ^^^

I didn't buy them, but I chucked a pair of good robo grips in the can yesterday....
I was sick of looking at them. Hey Once you go knipex you can't go backwards.

Wow, ya learn something new every day.

Being the Craftsman fanboy that I am, I use this to hold my punches.

I'll add mine.

I bought a Craftsman Profession Random Orbit Sander 5-6 years ago. It's actually a great sander with good dust collection when hooked up to any standard shop vacuum. I used it to sand every wall in my house and they came out great.

So why is it a bad buy? It uses proprietary sanding disks. The disks are two concentric circles. I haven't checked recently, but they are hard to find and I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't being made anymore.

I have a set of Robogrips. If you'll pay shipping and add $5, I'll take the ones you're trying to unload.

The only good thing about the Robogrips is that they were a gift.

DGersic, almost pulled the trigger...lol. I've had the same guy contact me twice..different listings about the Robogrips. The bad part is I gave him my phone number the first time and all I would get was annoying texts...like "robogrips..you sell" How many times can you tell someone yes? Second time i contacted him via email and told him my phone was broken
