Ive used one and theyre ok for loose bolts but Anything somewhat stubborn I didnt like em.

I've got something very similar. I use it when I get aggravated walking to the toolbox 4 times

Ya.. me. Lol. "Hey Mark, can you go to my toolbox and get ________"

good for an "in home" tool kit, as far as working on anything vehicle related I'd rather use the specific tool for the job

The shop that my buddy used to work at had a couple of these stuck to their waste oil cans for making quick work of drain plugs. They liked it for that purpose, but past that I have no clue.

yeah i mean he has a full tool set at work...and his older tools get taken home so he has basically a full set at home too. I figured this might be something that could save him some time. Hes getting older now. I hope it works out for him. I played with it today and it seemed alright. I think hell try it once and never use it again because hes so used to what he has, but I hope that it can help him out.

I think Kobalt tools are made by Snap On. Or one of those little guys are.

Blue-Point is made by snap on. I have one of these by Craftsman. They are good for doing oil changes.

Ah That's it.. I knew one of them were.
