Default Gator Grip Universal Socket...

Has anyone every used one of these?

In the past I wish I had one to try on a rounded bolt, so I figured I'd pick on up for the hell of it. I'm a sucker for gadgets anyways.

I got one as a gift. It worked great on random shaped things like eye bolts and stuff but I wouldn't reach for it if I just needed a normal bolt out.

Junk. The pins need to be smaller and a lot more of them for this to be really effective. You have to put a lot of pressure on them to get them to work on rounded bolts... I don't think mine has been out of the toolbox in ages.

It has come in handy before, I've used it for people that have lost the key to their locking lugnuts.
