For a couple bucks more you can get a Gator Grip that is made in the US which this is just a ripoff of. It isn't a great tool, but it is handy for oddball stuff. I keep one mounted on a cheap HF composite ratchet for those random moments. DON'T buy one of these and think you can use it to replace regular sockets. You'll strip bolt heads doing that.
These really are only good for low torque applications with clear access— anything over about 15ft lbs and you risk bending the pins and ruining the tool. Funny enough, they tend to work best with larger bolt heads which usually means higher torque values.
Don't expect this to replace a right-size socket or wrench for automotive work or other high torque applications, but it might be useful for something like running a bolt in/out of a threaded hole for electrical work.
