OK, now that we have a Tool Time forum, I thought I'd start a post about Metrinch tools (you knew that was coming, eh?
). I don't normally buy stuff "as seen on TV" but when I saw the cheezy Metrinch infomercial, I was intrigued - and yes I bought the set. That was over 10 years ago and they're still going strong.
They actually are pretty good, they really do apply torque to the flats of a fastener instead of the corners. They do grip rounded off fasteners and they do work on both metric and standard (the geometry of how they work is simple but effective).
Granted they're not as nice as Snap-On but they're really good for the price.
Just my 2¢
