Great product and GREAT TIP

Seems to work as described! A big hint. requires some planning in advance but saves time once started. Mine was on a suburb 04 used in the driver's rear with the infamous hard to reach bolt hole on that bracket. After struggling with the "easy" way of grabbing the bolt hole for some time before succeeding, I had an idea for a harder bottom one: I threaded a nut onto the bolt and narrowed the top of the mounting bolt a bit with a dremel and took the nut. to clean the threads, i put the screw in the silicone ratchet wrench and let the silicone grip a bit. This silicone held the screw in the wrench so I didn't drop it a hundred times while blindly digging through the hole, the slight taper guided it straight without drama. It still took a little time to screw in as you had to hold the head of the bolt against the ratchet most of the time, but far less frustrating when he didn't drop it from trying to screw it in blindly.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
