Never seen one before and can't work out what it does, therefore I don't know whether I need one or not

[CubanPete]

Now I don't know if I need one either?!

Looks like a small rubber puck-shaped device for keeping sockets in.

Pocket sized socket set.

No idea what it's for, but you better buy one just in case, only 9 left!

[strudel]

Looks cool. Do I need one?

Its a collection of varying female sockets (like in a socket set) that you can use with your hand instead of a ratchet

[Prof Prolapse]

I'm trying to think of any scenario I've ever been in where I've had enough space to use a tool like that...

Is there a teloscopic end or something?

wouldn't all sockets be female?

[Krikkit]

Screwdriver should go through the centre, giving you a bit more purchase.

Never used one, as above I'd be surprised if there's enough clearance to use it most of the time!

Look in your socket set, it will have male sockets like torx

Ah, I'd call that a driver or bit not a socket.

Hmm, I suppose that in the interests of furthering the PH Knowledge Base, I'd better order one then and report back!

Pucking hell.

Well are there 11 other PHers who want one for £3.60 +P&P?!?!

[iva cosworth]

I would order one..........BUT it would have to be delivered by a certain

parcel company that gets slated here every day.

Have similar thing but you attach your socket time it. It's not that bad actually. Handy for those slack/tight nuts and bolts where you don't have much swinging room for a ratchet.

To think I've already sorted my secret santa...
