I'm actually curious, too ... the thing about these infomercials is that they make so much sense in the general theory, but it's hard to tell how well it works.

"Yeah, I can see how that *might* work ..."

All too often, there's something that kills the product. Like the build quality is really bad so it falls apart. The metal is really soft, so it strips easily. The oven gets too hot so you can't put anything nearby it.

Though the Foreman grill is pretty damn cool ...

I've never tried it, but the theory looks great...

A crescent wrench works well in theory, too; however, I've ruined many a bolt head over the years using one. Mingster, why don't you order one and let us all know how it works.

The last few times I was in a Sams Club they had these things in stock. I almost bought one to try it.

Do not waste your money! Think of hundreds of little springs waiting to pop out at you! Don't think of getting it wet cause it would probally rust away. How could you possibally get a good solid grip with something like this? Your off center and would place to much torque on one side. This is made for someone who is to lazy to lift there arms and think!
