| Nuts and Sockets - Grip-Tite |
|
Spent a lot of time on the D3 removing rounded/rusted nuts and bolts, and money on removers i.e. adapted sockets that bite onto them like Irwins (These work great but i tend to re-use the same one and fairly quickly they wear out as the teeth blunt)
Thinking about some sockets from Grip-Tite that have cams that bite onto the sides of the hex rather than pushing on the angles. Seem reasonable at about 30 quid for a set of metric sockets.
Got a set?, Any good or waste of money?

Thanks for the link AAA.Happy.Disco1.Fan
I'd already found that, as you can see they get either great reviews or really bad. Wondered if there were two sorts or if being used incorrectly. Really looking for someone who has used them and can personal feedback.

Such discrepancy made me wonder somewhat. I tend to agree that a 'personal' opinion is far more reliable than those sort of polls from the self-selection respondents.
Good fortune in your quest for the truth....
