I think this works well for wing nuts and hardware like that. That's what I got it for. Nothing high torque demanding but faster than doing by hand.

It works. It's wonky, but it works.

The purpose of these is to pull many pieces of fastener hardware out of something in a much quicker time than changing socket sizes.

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.

Gator-Grip, or nothing! I have the original and used the ratchet it came with WAY more than the actual socket.
