I use these about 2x a year.

Every once in a while it's exactly the tool for the job.

New out of the package, you have to adjust the Torx bolts on each axis to give you the proper amount of tension; you'll see what I mean...

It's almost like this isn't a full-size ratchet and has a slightly different use case.

I think these are around $14 normally so not sure about that $29 Amzn is showing.

That said, definitely one of those tools you're thankful you've got on those few times you actually need it! Getting one for my bro!

Considering a full size gearwrench 3/8 ratchet is $22 at HD and a cheapy HF one is $12 - again for a full size wrench - $10 doesn't really seem like a deal

If it was $5 I'd say it's a good buy.

Seems gimmicky.

Lol I feel like if you use this along with your fat hand right behind it, then you should be able to clearly use a normal ratchet lol

But that's just a theory.. A game theory

I am afraid of losing it when doing car repairs. I lost a couple of 12 mm sockets and they were never found.

If anyone has used these when did it actually work better than a wrench or socket?

These are useless. Have two. Used it once and never bothered again.
If this can turn the nut, then your fingers can turn it too.
