It only works for some types of nuts and bolts and long studs with hex angles. The torque can't be too tight. I have done disassembly of some major industrial equipment for several manufacturers. There are specific variables involved which I learned these work and mostly never work. Need to be center accessed to the wide grip socket, can't be shallow/small installed fastener, can't be torqued too tight. I broke down electrical cabinets to remove everything on a part level due to patents on manufacturing process. When it does work, it has saved me endless hours. But also have blown out a bunch, but that was the cost of business. This is the only instance where I have used them.
I had nuts get stuck inside them. Used pliers to pull out or banged on table while spinning in drill to dislocate.
I don't see a use for automotive or home. You're not going to pull a bolt from a vehicle using these. Installed bolts are just too shallow and torqued too high. You are not going to install or remove lag bolts or screws from a wall in most instances. Wingnuts are about the only home use I can see.
These newer chinese units are weaker than the original, which I believe was called Alligator something.
You'll find 30+ of these branded for around $4 day and night when they play the sale game. The larger sized socket is a bit more difficult to find.
