Great review Max. I have looked at these in the past but was worried about stripping issues. It appears that those concerns were well placed based on the steel flakes you were getting when you were driving the bolts. It seems if you use it regularly on the same bolts, it might cause roundover to the point that you could only use that tool on the bolt. But, the idea that you can throw it in the toolbox for that rarely used and can't seem to find socket size when you really need it would be a reason to have it available.
The adapter for an impact seems to mean they are confident (😬) in their product. I’m imagining somewhat rusty nuts and bolts for an automotive application. Just enough to round off the bolts. Like other commenters have said, for those with a small collection of tools, it definitely seems useful. All about application. I am lucky enough to have multiple sets of just about every metric, and all standard size craftsman (50’s-70’s era) sockets, torque wrenches, adjustable wrenches, screw drivers, etc. I inherited from my grandfather. Anyone who runs into these tools at garage sales for cheap should buy them. Even with surface rust they clean up great.
@@Saanonymous80 agreed, although a busy person trying to get things done in a limited amount of time, frequent replacements (if that happens, not saying it would) would be a pain in the a$$.
Looks like a piece of junk to me. Any dirt in it and there goes it's functionality. Also it's too big in diameter to get into tight or recessed places. Save your money and invest in a quality socket set.
They work, but at high torque the pins shear and the part is destroyed. Had one for decades in the toolbox. Not the most useful tool, but a okay tool none the less. I lost my locking wheel nut key. Was able to remove the locking nuts until I could get replacements. Last time I used it, it broke though.
As I mentioned in the other video, wipers, headlights, tool reviews or creating works of art from wood, I'll watch anything you upload! These tools have a place. I don't personally own one, but have considered adding one to the arsenal. Guess I'm gonna now! Great review Thanks!
@Max F I give credit, where credit is due! And thanks man! I do enjoy fishing. And love them Largies. That one was over 6lbs, back in 2017. Not my PB, but from the same pond.
Ive had one since Christmas its come in really handy. I also have a bunch of wrenches and sockets but thought this would be a nice addition to any toolbox. Got one on sale for $10 so I bought two of them. Different brand but same thing. It has come in very handy since I bought it. For my car audio hobby it has been a really nice tool to have. Use it fairly often.
Seems like it would work nicely for the general public, a six month or one year review would be pretty interesting
I think it would be a good tool to have in the toolbox seems like it could be really handy!

Thanks a lot Shane! I agree!

Even if they don't, gotta love that warranty.

@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 I mean buying them cheap at estate/yard sales. Then replacing them if messed up
@@Saanonymous80 got it. On my 3rd Old Fashioned, forgive me.

Haha me too! 😂
