I was chuffed to find these on Amazon, I had a ptoblem with a van and had to get some severley damged 13mm bolts out of an Aluminium lower wishbone on the front suspension. The bolts were totaly ruined by a previous owner who had attempted to repair the anti roll bar outer bushes and looked like he used his teeth!

I looked at garage suppliers and could only find pro tools at £70 ~ £100 a set. These by comparison were a bargain. I like the fact that you can use a ratchet with or without a socket, or spanner to drive them. This means you can start the job with the spanner which allows you to get up close and personal with the offending bolt or nut, you stay in line with the head of the damaged item so get good level drive onto the nut.

Once on and the spiral cut teeth dig in, the bolt moves as it should. Once on the move I swapped to the ratchet and was able in every instance to remove the chewed bolts with ease.

The Grip nut removers are very well made, and infuse confidence in the user that they are more than capable of doing the job asked.

I showed the tools to my regular mechanic and he convinced me to sell them to him, he was so impressed and has already used them at his business and confirms that they are indeed a quality item.

I am not without a set of my own as I came home and ordered a second set - a good addition to your tool kit. Save lots of time and bruised knuckles when you get those problem nuts and bolts.

Well the jack seems to be well up to the task. I have two cars and three vans, so plenty of variety. This jack has managed to safely lift all of them with ease. Even a partialy loaded long wheelbase Renault Master van. I have owned it now for a few weeks and it has been a good buy.
I never got around to putting batteries into the led light feature, curiosity may still get the better of me just to see how and if it works. I imagine it would be a handy feature at the road side in the dark to help locate the jack point. The arm length is good and has good height lift. The rotation feature on the jack handle pivot is good if you need to work between the car and the kerb,as it alows you to work at extreem angles and still be able to use the full up and down motion of the handle.
The only thing about the jack that i am not keen on is the slow take up from fully lowered to contact with the vehicle jack point. I would with hindsight go for a quick lift jack, and would have liked a longer jack handle.
All round a good bit of kit with good features, well made and cost effective. Excellent DIY jack.

Excellent album - new artist new sound - very up beat & good to listen to Keep up the good work Eliza

New artist refreshing material, like the west indies beat to some of the tracks. Excellent intro to the business hope the next is as good - don't see any reason why not Well done Olly
