Good find.
I got one 1/4" for my 3d printers and then a 1/4" and 3/8" for my gear bag. Sometimes you just need something to grip to hand turn a socket.

Can you brake loose the nozzle with it? I would think you need more leverage.

It was 2 separate sets with 6 out of 14 being unacceptably defective. That's nearly a 43% defect rate.

Are you sure don't have one already? Because the more I think about it, the more I think I got one of these years ago at Harbor Freight. I've never used it, though.

The TEQ Pros are made by Gearwrench, same thing. You just got a bad set that had maybe been sitting around too long and would've been very easy to fix or warranty.
