• Additional Equipment Needed
  The sockets work fantastic. I had several lug nuts on my car that were over-tightened when new tires were installed. When I tried to remove them to rotate my tires they completely rounded over. I used Grip-Tite 3/4" deep socket and wratchet handle to try to remove the lug nuts. The wratchet handle was not strong enough. It kept slipping. The drive size of the Grip-Tite sockets is 3/8",so I tried using a 3/8" drive breaker-bar(not included in the set). There simply was not enough leverage to loosen the lug... more info

• Seems like a good product initially
  The Grip-Tite is a unique 6-point socket with long rectangular metal pins held in place in each corner of the socket by a plastic retainer anchored at the base of the socket's inner wall. Under load it looks as if the pins are designed to slide a little and be forced inward against the flats of the fastener, so stripping does not seem likely at all.
  The set has 7 standard socket in the range 3/8 - 3/4" x 1/16", and 8 deep sockets in the range 3/8 - 13/16" x 1/16". I didn't really want the quick release... more info

• Interesting concept
  Have not tried to use it on any "problem" jobs that the advertisement describes and have only used one size so far, however, on about the third nut I tightened one of the fingers broke. Have not contacted anybody about that yet so do not know how they will respond. Be aware that the walls are a little thicker than regular sockets so you cannot get into as tight a space as others. I do like the way they hold a bolt or nut as you try to insert them into close quarters.
