Customer Reviews for Gator Grip 3/8 in. Universal Socket with Power Drill Adapter

It's a Gator Grip alright. It tore itself apart on the first use. And in fact, the pins rounded out the hex head fastener so that nothing would grip it. A bad, bad tool.

As soon as I started using it with my impact gun, the center pice that keeps everything else in place inside the socket came off and it just didn't do any good anymore.

Perfect for what i wanted. When i don't want to carry a bunch of different sizes for a project.

I tried using on a square nut and on the 3rd nut the inners broke apart. it did work well on the first 2 nut... not really sure why this happened but i think im going to try something else.

Absolute JUNK. I Tried to remove locking lug nuts on my car and the small pins in the socket broke off and fell out. Thinking maybe I did something wrong by being slightly off center or maybe not perfectly straight, I went back to the store and purchased two more. The second one broke almost immediately, this time the plastic center piece and it's spring fell out. On the third try I moved to one of the other lug nuts, but unfortunately the socket failed again. Save your money and buy a different tool.

Works with most non-round screws, bolts, hex & square nuts, hooks, etc. As always, my friend borrowed a few of my tools while I needed something to remove the blade bolt off my lawn mower. It was on there really tight, so I did have to use a bit of WD-40 which helped. After that this Universal Socket Wrench worked like a charm. Also used it to remove a small hook from my fence. This Universal Socket Wrench works with most shapes and sizes except a perfectly round head. So most bolts, wing-nuts, hex nuts, square nuts, eye-screws, cup hooks, lag screws, etc., that are 7mm-19mm (1/4”-3/4”) will fit this. It has a standard 3/8” square hole on the back that will fit a standard ratcheting wrench. It also comes with a drill adapter which has one end fits in back and the other in the drill. It is all chrome with spring loaded pins on the inside. One thing to consider is that this is NOT a pass-through socket and is ONLY 3/8” deep. So always make sure you have the right tool for the job. Although I got this elsewhere in a pinch and mine is a no-name brand, these are all designed the same way and work on the same principal. This is a really nice universal socket wrench that can truly handle a variety of tasks removing various shapes within the advertised size. A handy little tool.

I was trying to remove a stuck, rusted, rounded bolt holding my lawnmower blade in place, and tried EVERYTHING. From PB Blaster to cold welding a socket to the bolt, cheater bars, you name it... nothing worked. Except this gimmicky-looking device... it managed to grab onto it, and I got the bolt off. Well worth $10. The only downside is that one of the little pins on the very top now won't pop back out - but still, even with that, I highly recommend picking one up if you have a difficult nut or bolt!

It wasn’t perfect for the odd job I had but worked well and seems durable. I’d recommend it.

Works very well as expected

It didn’t work as it should. It did not grip the nuts as it should. It just spun

I agree with some of the people. Not a very good product. It didn’t work at all for me.

Limit to up to 3/4 size.not a good product

It work like champ on all the nuts I have tried it on.

mainly bought this to install and uninstall wall hooks that screw in the wall. works grest and saves alot of time and energy from having to do it manually

Was terrible and would not grip anything that required torque.

Very simple, very adaptable to any screw, very strong. Impressive indeed.
