Are these any good?

Your best bet is to use the right tool for the job.

Thank you ToolTime Tim Taylor, but you didn't answer the question. If this works OK, it would beat having to comb through a thousand sockets to find the one that fits.

I doubt you can put enough torque on this to round off a nut, but when/if you do.. Well then you might realize what I mean.

Yes. Your best bet is to use the right tool for the job.

My best bet is a right hand job on my tool.

My best tool gets the right hand job.

This is nice to tighten any loose nuts/ etc around the house, but dont use it if you are going to try and get a very tight nut off. I tried this and the pins on the inside broke.
Great for light stuff, but dont expect it to get everything off.

my mom was the right tool for the job.

Love that mom filter...

Seriously - the GatorGrip does work for stuff like wing nuts and old style square nuts.
