Default just watched an infomercial..

anyone ever buy the 'Gator Grip?' Looks like a very useful tool. I was thinking of buying but I thought I'd ask around here first. It looks like a socket wrench, but it has a bunch of pins so it can basically grab anything. Claims it can torque 150lbs. Anyone ever have any experience with this?

Just a gut feeling ... I think those products sold on infomercials, most of the time ... They don't live up to what they say. You either abuse it to the core and it breaks and you get your money back or it simply just doesn't do what it says it does. Aren't those bodies all professionals anyway? If professionals need to spend alot of money, time and effort to get their bodies ... You think those things work miracles? Hmm, I strongly doubt so.

I'm also wondering if it works.

I'm just wondering how strong those pins are that are suck into the wrench.

Damn, what was I thinking about when I made that post? Though it was some exercise or body enhancing gadget. Oh well ... Same idea and concept anyway, I'm sure everyone knows what I'm trying to say. Hah!
