Review: Sooo Glad I bought this socket before doing smooth wire fencing. - So, I already have one of these, the smaller one (got it for christmas some years back). We were doing smooth wire fence where we were installing round eye ring threaded hardware into wooden posts. Normally you pre-drill and use something like a large crescent wrench or a screwdriver thru the eye of the hardware. This socket allowed me to get my cordless DeWalt 3/8" impact after pre-drilling and just rattle the eye lags into the posts. When you are doing this all day, it makes a real difference, probably saving me 5 minutes per post. The socket marks the eye because the steel on the lag is softer than the driving pins in the socket, but what a godsend! My only wish (as ridiculous as this sounds) would be for them to make an even bigger socket or something silly like an oval socket that accommodated very wide objects.... also, they need to make a "deep socket" version of both as the pins only go in about 1" due to some sort of plastic carrier inside. Solution, make a longer socket? Eh? No complaints, though, great for driving eye lags, hook lags, wing nuts, square head bolts, etc. Review: Works well for just about everything - Love this i still use it 10 years later havent broken yet ## Features - 1/2" Drive professional grade socket. Self-adjusts for all shapes and size fastener, except a perfectly round head, just file an edge. Self-adjusts from 7/16” to 1 ¼” Standard and 11mm -32mm Metric. - Works well on rusted and damaged heads - Has a torque of over 450 LB/FT of power - Works on a power drill (adapter not included) - Replaces a toolbox full of tools and so easy to use. Not only for the tradesman, everyone can use it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00008K2TF | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #348,639 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,583 in Individual Drive Sockets | | Compatible Fastener Range | 0.5 inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (427) | | Date First Available | December 13, 2006 | | Finish | Polished | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.34 pounds | | Item model number | 125MO | | Manufacturer | Endeavor Tool Company | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Number Of Pieces | 54 | | Part Number | 20125MO | | Product Dimensions | 11.42 x 4.72 x 1.57 inches | | Size | One Size | | Warranty Description | Satisfaction Guarranteed | ## Images ![Gator Grip King Socket The Original Professional Grade Self-Adjusting Universal Socket with over 450FT Pounds of Power.

What increments does it adjust to? 1/8" 1/16"???** A: Hello works from 7/16 to 1. 1/4. almost any increment. You have center it well, regards **Q: I was wondering will it work on a round body made of 303 I work at a machine shop and I have to mill a hex pattern** A: I am not positive because I am the wife of the recipient but, I have been wanting to get him one for years, the original Gator Grip that being said, he has stripped nuts before to where they were practically round and has come across some practically round and this puppy gripped them and did the job. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a hex pattern, if you look at it? it is already showing like a six corner start on it. The only thing he said he would change about this tool? Is it won't go into tight places but, he was working on a PT cruiser, that should tell you something. He is thoroughly satisfied with this tool and takes care to know where he keeps it :) Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sooo Glad I bought this socket before doing smooth wire fencing. *by E***Y on November 5, 2017* So, I already have one of these, the smaller one (got it for christmas some years back).
