    I'd love to try one of these, but it looks like a gimmick.

    while it may save you in a pinch.. The right tool always works best.

    If you can't carry a socket set, these are better than slip-joint pliers.

    these are HORRIBLE!!! the pins are spring loaded, and sometimes the springs get stuck. and if not all of them are working properly, the pins bend.

    get a set of wrenches. or at least a crescent wrench.

    Real mechanic doesn't use a socket, he uses his bare hands.

    These are quite handy for small projects. You don't want to try and loosen rusted or tight bolts with these. #8 is correct about the pins.

    Just another one of those tool gadgets you will use every now and then out of guilt for having bought it, but will always have been better off not using.
