Endeavor Tool Company 200MO Gator Grip the Original Universal Socket 3PC Kit. Made in the USA. Self-Adjusts for shape and size as well as Standard and Metric application

Love the gator grip product. I have one from many, many years ago and I wanted an extra, "just in case", but I can now leave the older one, which still works just fine, in my car, for those annoying car maintenance tasks I sometimes have to perform. Although it would be great if they made a Gator Grip product with an even larger circumference.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It is easy to use and can grab anything that can be centered on the Socket. I got this set since I wanted the drill bit so I can hook this to my drill and easily get bolts and other items out with little difficulties. The wrench included is pretty basic and no better than any other wrench, however, the Gator Grip Socket is of very good quality and the metal items in the socket are sturdy and work well. So far this has been great for replacing that giant box of sockets of different sizes (I still have to keep my Spark Plug remover since this can not fit a spark plug, other than that is a must tool for around the house projects.

I do renovations of old homes and don't come across bolts very often so I don't like to keep a whole socket set cluttering up my tool bag or truck. However, I do come across them occasionally and have found this "universal" socket wrench to handle virtually every situation in one handy little tool that has earned a spot in my tool bag. Removing a wrought iron railing the other day, one of my carpenters asked if I had a socket set to remove the bolts holding the railing to the brick, and I handed him this. He looked at it suspiciously but tried using it and now he wants one. Even though the bolts had been painted over several times, the Gator Grip removed them with no problem, and probably a regular socket would not have fit. The only time it didn't work for me was when I needed to tighten some concrete anchors and the bolt extended through the nut further every time we tightened it. Eventually the bolt stuck out far enough that that Gator Grip could no longer touch the nut. However, a standard socket wouldn't have worked anyways, it ended up requiring a deep well socket so this was a fairly specialized application. Is it the perfect tool? No, and if I knew I was going to be doing something that required a lot of bolt tightening or removing, I'd probably plan ahead and bring a regular socket set. However, it is a great tool to keep around for those unexpected situations, and it will handle the majority of those situations very well.

This was so cool and versatile. Fits many different sizes without having to change parts constantly. Ordered as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He liked it. It came as described and on time. I was thrilled With this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As seen on t v stuff is usually garbage but this tool was not. This product fits multiple shapes and sized screws and nuts for quick removal. This would have taken several frustrating hours without the Gator Grip. It installs bolts, screws, and nuts; its springloaded which makes it awkward holding the hardware while installing. Just like any socket or wrench made, you need to have the tool squarely placed on the item you're using it on.

Works as advertised

Great little tool if you are always working on stuff! I no longer need to grab every single screwdriver and socket if the gator grip fits the job. I am still amazed to this day at some of the stuff that it fits and also and surprised it has lasted very long on heavy jobs like tightening/loosening rusted bolts. Very durable item and a neat little gift item to someone who has never seen this before. It would blow their minds away! Would recommend!

For my first Gator Grip project I decided to tighten about a hundred of 5/16"x1.25" bolts to 175 inch-pounds. The bolt heads were damaged, some more than the others, making a regular socket hard to fit; this looked like a perfect Gator Grip application. I am happy to report that the Gator Grip worked as expected. However, about 1/3 way through the job I had my first failure - one of the pins got stuck and wouldn't come out unless I remove the Gator Grip and push the pin through the other side. That pin was getting stuck continuously, and by the time I was done with 96 bolts, several of the Gator Grip pins would have the same problem. Unfortunately, I have to testify that Gator Grip is a somewhat delicate device, and should not be used for anything but for light duty jobs. Update: I got my Gator Grip socket replaced under warranty. The process was fast and easy. Because of that I'd give this product one more star if I could.

I specifically ordered this to remove a PinHead bike wheel lock. Worked like a charm. If you ever lose your key this will work like a charm if the ol'screwdriver and hammer trick is not doing the job. Note that you may need to cut down some of the axel pin that sticks out so the socket can grip around the pinhead nut. definitely recommend for this specific use - I cannot say for any other use at this time. With that said dont get pinhead wheel locks for security... I removed them on my bike in less then 1 minute. :D
